CARLTON have suffered a major blow with captain Chris Judd ruled out of Saturday's important AFL clash with Richmond at the MCG.

The Blues confirmed that Judd would not play as a result of being concussed in a heavy clash with Essendon skipper Matthew Lloyd last Sunday.

"The Carlton doctor has monitored Chris's progress this week and while he has continued to improve he has not recovered sufficiently to play in tomorrow's game," coach Brett Ratten said.

"Medical tests conducted during last week's game, following the heavy collision in the first quarter, indicated Chris was fit to continue during the match and the medical team regularly monitored him throughout the game.

"Unfortunately his symptoms deteriorated after the game.

"The medical team have confirmed that Chris playing out the game against Essendon has had no bearing on his availability for selection this week."

Judd was replaced by youngster Darren Pfeiffer in the Blues' 22.

Midfielder Andrew Carrazzo (concussion) and spearhead Brendan Fevola (back soreness) had also been under an injury cloud.

But, unlike Judd, both trained with the main group and appear certain to play against the Tigers.

Bugger there goes an opportunity to stick it right up them.  

We already did that in round 1 when he played

Fair point, let me rephrase.

$20k bet on the Tigers at $1.65 within 15 minutes of the annoucement.

Tiges now into $1.62; Blues out to $2.30.

That's right it mattered to them in Round 1 when we beat them with all the hype and Judd fanfare. Who care's that he aint playing b/c tomorrow aint about him either its about us our centennary and our footy club. Let the Bluebaggers eternally suffer and fail.

As long as it doesn't make us complacent and it doesn't knock the crowd down because some Blues fans now don't turn up then it shouldn't matter to us. This is our celebration  .

Assuming we have Hyde and Polo into the team to tag then who will they tag now. Could Polo be replaced by King?

My guess is Hyde will go to Stevens and Polo to Carazzo/Murphy.

Hope we shut down their forwardline particularly the drunken strangler...Fev.
