Anyone else think Judd isn't the Judd of old this year? He appears to have lost that explosiveness and quick acceleration he used to have.
The folding green ambassador is closing in fast on 30, and the prospect of holding up another cup seems to be diminishing :clapping
Yep it looks like the wear and tear of his career is starting to show. Not having Murphy and Carrazzo around either means he can't feed off them. He sure ain't getting any help from the likes of McLean and the second stringers. Carlton fall away badly after their best 22. The injuries have exposed their lack of depth and Ratten has no plan B.

Judd has seemed to of fell away this year and now without Murphy there he would be getting more attention. They played better against Geelong than previous rounds lately but there draw is tough for the next couple of weeks. If sides like Saints, Fremantle and us(Richmond) keep winning it might keep them out of the finals.

I know the draw can never be fair unless they made the season 17 games, but how do the Saints get to play GC Suns for the 2nd time this season, then next week the Kangaroos have them for the second time this season and we don't get them till round 16?


The Saints have had a combined 187 points winning margin over them and GC Suns didn't score over 50 in either game.
And you may not think I care for you

this season WILL be a great year for us if we beat Carlscum round 18. 
Ontop of beating the Swans, Saints & Dawks (fantastic win). Getting so close to cats, bombers, pies &  WC. Alot of positives to take into next year but still realistic to know alot of work preseason to take the next level so we win those games.   
Something to build on for next year even if we don't make the finals which I think is most likely we won't.
Beat the blues and knock 'em out of the finals this year i'd be pretty happy  :birthday :santa

But next year i'd expect nothing less than finals footy and a win in round 1 against the scum.

This.
They could lose every game coming into round 18 and they would be so mentally comfortable and us the opposite they would win easy again.
You can just see sh|trucks like Hamson Scotland Waite just lift and believe they are better than what they are against us.
Our Biggest test this year easily, we need to get over this....

We wont be in the 8 but if my maths is correct we will be above the cheats (blues) if we beat the GWS by 51 pts.

Looking ahead to R18, it is very possible that both clubs will be on the same point or within 4 points of each other by the time we next meet.

Shapes as a monster R18 clash.

Good to see saints will lose tonight, would be great if the crows did us a favor and ran away with it with a solid 9-10 goal margin giving their percentage a smashing   :thumbsup
