http://oneeyed-richmond.com/forum/index.php?topic=2740.0The game had passed Libba by the time Wallace took over at the Dogs. When he realised he could no longer survive in the AFL as a ballwinner, the dirty mongrel started all that bottom the pack scratching and thuggery off the ball. From memory a young Simon Black was another victim who was scratched in the face. A great day for footy when Libba retired.
Judd is heading down the Libba thug path. A former Brownlow medalist who later in his career resorts to committing dog acts at stoppages.
