Stay well away from chris Judd. 5 Million over 5 years, there isn't a player anywhere worth that sort of money and especially one that has a groin injury that requires an operation. Leave these sorts of deals to Carlton so they can stuff themselves up even more than they have done. Look at there last great 5 million dollar deal, Koutafides, it blew up in there face with there great man doing his knee, he was never the same player again after that.

Judd can come to richmond with the following proviso:

We do not use any of our 1st or second round draft picks.
He comes to us through the PSD
A price tag of 500,000 tops per year.
A 3 year contract at the most.

Worsfold was interviewed on 3aw after noon. He said he expects Judd to be an Eagle next year but he has a meeting with Chris this week and whatever Judd decides to do he'll respect his decision (joked about needing to get on his hands and knees).

Pagan reckons the Blues will need to offer more than pick 3 and Fevola. More like picks 1, 3 and Fev. The Blues are the media's favourite because of Pratt's clout (eg: getting Vodafone off St Kilda to Carlton).

David King didn't say much as far as Judd and Richmond.

If it is true that he actually wants to leave anyway, Melbourne will be his prefered club, if he goes anywhere this is where i'm sure he will end up.

Forgot to add that Worsfold said Judd's injury is due to a out of place bone spur on the pubic bone. Unlike OP which affects both sides of the groin and is due to this bone wearing away, Judd's injury is affecting just the right side of his groin. He also had some abductor injury as well this year. Mike asked Worsfold why Judd wasn't rested for 4-6 weeks once a finals place was wrapped up and Worsfold said the problem won't heal itself (requires surgery) so there was no point resting him.

from reading between the lines Judd does seem headed home, and most likely Carlton... from our point of view it could be an important deal. If Carlton only dishes up 3 and Fevola ... then we still in prime spot to secure Cale Morton who the Eagles are desperate for. Its such bad luck that we really want him to... so how about we swap pick 2 for say pick 3 oh yeah ... and eagles normal first round pick which will be about 14. That sounds fair enough.

RR, a caller asked why Melbourne wasn't mentioned and basically the 3aw answer was because they a small fry with the only thing going for them is being called "Melbourne".

They might be small fry but Judd is a Melbourne supporter, he already has a premiership, he is very good freinds with garry Lyon and a regular spot on the footy show is not out of the question either to boost up the income stream. I just don't believe that if judd is going for a serious tilt at comming home that Melbourne aren't going to feature somewhere.

Is Judd interested in owning property down on the Mornington peninsula? 

I have similar concerns RR. The money bantered around is something like 1/6th or 1/7th of the salary cap on just one player for 5 years. Unless half his salary is going to come  from "marketing" opportunities which don't count inside the salary cap, any club would be taking on a massive risk. One serious injury to Judd and you'd be stuffed given you've given away top picks to get him. West Coast's success is due to more than just Judd. Kerr, Cousins, Braun, Embley, Stenglein and co had something to do with it too in their midfield.

is it miller who wants morton or is it francis?

anyways I thought we were pretty much sold on Cotchin

So did I bluey.

Who said we're going to take Morton before Cotchin? Not what I was told although both are in our top 3 along with Kreuzer.

Ch 9 news tonight said Carlton, Richmond (due to our 1st PSD pick) and the Pies are the 3 favourites to obtain Judd.

Ch 7 news though said the Pies have ruled themselves out of the running and Carlton today were in Perth to put a AFL record offer to Judd.

big rumour on big footy about the whole scenario on the richmond board about judd and cale morton and mitch morton ... great scenario ... people should go on there and support the scenario and we can all get a laugh.

LOL wishing pick 2 will get us pick 3 + pick 14/Mitch Morton off the Eagles . That's not a rumour, that's wishful thinking  .
