Carlton-Judd threads [merged]

[tigersalive]

It seems like Carlton will be lopping of about $50,000 a player from the top 20 paid players at Carlton. Some will obviously take a bigger haircut than others. Thatll give them an extra $1million in the cap. I reckon we should still try and call there bluff.

Half of their top 20 are out of contract next year so they cant "back-end" their contracts.

I cant see how they can find the room.

Why would a player take $2 million in year 1 to cough almost half that or near $1 million to the Tax Office in Income Tax... its crazy stuff.

[one-eyed]

KB and Denham said the $2 million ransom would never happen. Balmey said on Friday even $1.1 million would be 15% of the cap and the stretching limit any club could do before damaging their list. Rawlings threathened to put a bounty on his head to scare off the Bulldogs but of course he never went through with it and still landed at the Bulldogs.

They also said Judd has to nominate for more than a year if he goes into the PSD.

Denham still believes Carlton won't be giving up pick 1 and a deal will be done today.

The $2m is a bluff to scare us off. It didn't work. In fact it has given us more confidence of hanging in there because Connors $2m "blink" means a deal hasn't be done yet b/w Carlton and the Eagles. Even the Eagles have said we've now a serious player.

SEN just said the Judd negogiations will take another day. If that's true that's good for us.

The Carlton forum reckons it'll still be announced today (even just after midday) when Judd arrives in Melbourne. The sad souls are even tracking Judd's flight and when he lands. Some even believe Judd is on Pratt's flight and will picked up by Swann to be taken to the Dome for a press conference  .

However, the Blues strongly doubt the "contingency plan" would be needed because West Coast would receive nothing if Judd entered the pre-season draft.

This is garbage Robbo. If a "Veale deal" is done with us then West Coast are in a risk-free position.

According to that RFC PR propagandist Supertiger on Big Footy, a deal is close
Morton and 30 to Richmond for p2 to WCE

I think some of you on here should support Supertiger on his thread in the West Coast Eagles board. Im sure the Eagles would be happy to send christopher to the PSD lol...go support the thread.

Carlton has already got it's website basically set-up for welcoming Chris Judd

Blues forum is still claiming a deal will be announced before 5pm.

SEN saying no one is talking from the Blues and Eagles camps and there's still discussions about  the strength of Carlton's offer.

[Ramps]

the fact they got there website to that stage isnt a good sign. Has anyone heard if weve been able to scrounge anything for ourselves?

They also had a draft table last night saying Dean Cox had been traded for James Gwilt. 

I think someone who's not meant to has access.

SEN headline is Judd deal in jeopardy. Seems if Kennedy doesn't want to go Carlton will need to switch to Plan B which would be coughing up pick 1.

BF saying MMM said Judd is flying into Melbourne (which is true) but added to talk to Richmond!

GO GREG GO!

Bah haha.  Sign up and go head to head with him.  I dare ya.

SEN latest is Kennedy has yet to agree to move so the Judd deal has stalled again. Kennedy is expected to make a decision today.

Judd returns tonight on a flight from Perth.

Carlton forum saying the Blues tried to take Kennedy off the table so he wouldn't have to go but West Coast said they wanted him as part of the deal. So it turns out Kennedy decides if Carlton gets Judd.
