Greatest ever pick 3: Judd or Dusty?

[Andyy]

Dusty is also a significantly better human than that chrome dome Juddhead.

Judd is a mercenary who left for $$$, also enjoys chicken winging blokes which is how you submit someone in MMA by inflicting pain, and occasionally gouging their eyes also (pretty sure they do stuff like that to torture people in Syria).

Dusty on the other hand is quite a pleasant and clean/fair player.

I wouldn't say Judd was the best in his era.  Probably rate midfielders Gary Ablett, Ben Cousins, Adam Goodes above him.   
But hey, still a gun player. No doubt.

Some salty replies

the people saying dusty cos he has 3 norm smiths 🤣🤣 let’s ignore the fact he didn’t deserve one of them, possibly even two and go straight to the fact that him playing a good game on the big stage does not at all say he was a better overall player than judd...

59% of people never watched a game of footy before 2017 I guess

God people are fooled by the media. Judd any day of the week

Lmao. Judd by the flemington. Take away team success because its irrelevant. Dusty plays in a good system where he doesn't get tagged, give him the judd treatment in a poor side you'd never notice him. Silly comparison.

In what universe is Dusty better than Judd, heck Judd was running circles around Dusty when the teams always collided. Winning a premiership medal does not make a player better. Marion Picket must be better than Judd too because he has 2 Premiership medals.

lol Dusty doesn't get tagged. They simply cannot tag him all game.

Everyone bitching about how arrogant & insufferable our supporters have become since winning the flags will long for these days if Carlton & Essendon ever win their next flags....

Judd at his best was the best midfielder in the game by a hectare
It’s easy for people to forget how great someone was as time passes

They are both just so different as players .. all I know is , without Dusty , we don’t have 1 flag, let alone 3

Don’t know if that would have been the case with Judd instead of Dusty .. and it’s something nobody can ever answer .. but with Dusty , the answer is there for everyone to see

For that reason alone, Dusty

Judd sold his loyalty for money and Dusty stayed loyal to give us 3 cups

Hands down Dusty

And Judd's money was dodgy paper bag stuff.

Judd at his best was the best midfielder in the game by a hectare
It’s easy for people to forget how great someone was as time passes

They are both just so different as players .. all I know is , without Dusty , we don’t have 1 flag, let alone 3

Don’t know if that would have been the case with Judd instead of Dusty .. and it’s something nobody can ever answer .. but with Dusty , the answer is there for everyone to see

For that reason alone, Dusty

Not sure about that I rate Andrew McLeod ahead of him.McLeod game was very similiar to how Dusty plays it to.

[Damo]

For starters McLeod played most of his career as a half back flanker .. superstar for sure, but better midfielder ???? And as for similar to Dusty , I’d think of them as almost being opposites
