Asked what Judd was worth for trade, Gooding replied: "Selections, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. translation = nobody will reach an agreement and Judd enters PSD.

Judd has already said he is leaving, the weagles are going to have to take what they can get otherwise he leaves for free
If people didn't happen to see it, you missed a good laugh at whoever wrote the Essendon piece.Here is a highlight of the humorous moments:What they will offer?Essendon will offer pick 6, 23 and Courtney Johns or Keplar Bradley They might have to throw a McPhee in as well What will attract Judd?The team is young, talented and on the improve Priceless, I think it'd have to be the comedy stylings of Mark Robinson
It'd be great if the Eagles do a Port Adelaide with Nick Stevens and use Judd as an example to anyone wishing to leave that they'll head straight to the wooden spooners in the PSD but I can't see the Eagles doing this. With Stevens Port missed out on one pick. With Judd the Eagles can score two easily. To good an offer to miss out on that could win them the flag next year as their midfield is strong even without Judd.
The former Eagles has landed. From the Age:Judd will meet with Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon and Melbourne, while St Kilda and Hawthorn have also indicated they are very interested in recruiting him."I don't know a lot about how the different clubs work, so it will be a good chance to meet and greet and....make a decision on the future," he said before leaving Perth.When asked if he had a preferred club, Judd replied: "Not at this stage, I will go there with an open mind and I'm just looking forward to getting back to Melbourne."http://www.theage.com.au/news/Sport/Judd-flies-to-Melbourne-for-talks/2007/09/19/1189881592225.html
Talks between Judd and his agent Paul Connors have been scheduled with Carlton and Melbourne tomorrow, and Essendon on the weekend. They will talk to Collingwood as soon as the Magpies end their finals campaign. West Coast chief executive Trevor Nisbett said the Eagles needed two to three options from Judd, and they expect a decision by next week. "We require several options, otherwise it could become difficult," Nisbett said. "If it's only one option, one club, that could make it extremely tough for us to assist him. "It's a matter of him talking to clubs and then him indicating to us his preferred options, not just one option. "Chris needs to meet a number of clubs and we need a firm commitment from one club. We'd be hoping to get something done early in trade week. "It's not a matter of what we want, it's a matter of what people are prepared to trade for the best player in the country." Nisbett conceded that most scenarios were hypothetical. "Carlton says they won't deal with the first pick, and Richmond says they're reluctant to use the second selection for Judd," he said. "It doesn't mean it's gospel. I don't believe everything is set in concrete. "We will do the best we can for our business." "Collingwood is not in the driver's seat unless it is prepared to do deals," Nisbett said. "The difficulty is that Collingwood will finish a long way up the ladder." By finishing in the top four, the Magpies' best possible draft selection would be No.14. "Now if they came to us and said you can have Scott Pendlebury and Dale Thomas, that would be a different scenario," Nisbett said. If the Eagles are not satisfied with a suitable trade, then Judd would remain out of contract and be available to Richmond, which has first choice in the pre-season draft in December. "I don't think it will get to that," Nisbett said. "We are prepared to trade and we'll fulfil that. Chris Judd is a reasonable person." http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,22447685-5012432,00.html
Mark Fine on SEN reckons Judd has told the Hawks he's not interested all 3 times he's been contacted because he's good mates with Stephen Greene who was axed by the Hawks.
