Judd deal with Pies unlikely, says Nisbett
Martin Boulton | September 23, 2007
CHRIS Judd's meeting with Collingwood this week could prove futile, according to Eagles chief executive Trevor Nisbett, who said a trade with the Magpies might not be possible.
Nisbett also flagged an AFL trade deadlock if a deal cannot be struck, while player manager Ricky Nixon has warned of legal action if the Judd deal holds up the trades of players he represents.
"If he said just Collingwood, well, it would be difficult because I don't know what they have got to offer," Nisbett said.
AFL boss Andrew Demetriou yesterday warned clubs chasing Judd not to cheat on the salary cap with side agreements.
"All clubs know they're on notice, that if they try to construct something which is over and above what … the AFL will accept, then the AFL will come down hard on them," he said on SEN.
"Carlton knows too well, and they know that from history, that those things won't be tolerated," Demetriou said. "I don't expect that's what Carlton would be doing, they're very sensible now."
