Carlton-Judd threads [merged]

If you watch closely he gets shepparded very well, but he also has the quick footy smarts to sense which way through the pack is the 'right way'. It's like he has the spiderman senses and sees everything in slow motion.

Shepharding and blocking for a teammate isn't something we do enough of

possibly one of the smartest comments ive heard anyone make.

Judd has had his adductor-release operation and is expected to be back running in 6-8 weeks.

The Pies are claiming they don't know which club Judd will choose.

Judd is expected to make his decision on which club he wants to go to over this Grand Final weekend but the announcement will be delayed until later next week.

sen said moments ago that they have heard from reliable ppl that judd will choose melb as his preferred club and a deal will be made b/w wce and the dees.

i get the feeling miller and the tigers will screw up all trade deals this yr and once again when we have a chance to nail someone big we wont.

im betting miller is just sitting back hoping some big name ends up in the psd, and knowing our luck no one will be in the psd worthy to pick up as all the big guns we re-sign ar be traded and we will miss out

lets hope if that is the case , whoever we pick up with pick 2 will be the "next judd"

[Ramps]

if we dont get the big name in a trade period or the psd then Miller should step down. It would be completely unacceptable if we dont get a big name player this year.

That assumes there is one out of contract, wants to leave their present club and who is happy to come to us.

This fits in with a post on Y&B. The key now as with all the clubs after Judd is the Dees now have to satisfy the Eagles. Pick 4 and what? They don't have many WAs on their list so will they try to trade Robertson to the Dogs for pick 5 and then ontrade both picks to West Coast.

At cricket training my mate got a text from "inside" Melbourne apparently Sandy coach, saying Judd is over the line at Melbourne and the bookies are no longer taking bets on the subject. He said it is a legit source, and they just need to come to terms with the Eagles. Similar to Acker being over the line with Bulldogs before trade week last year.

If we can't get a decent out of contract player in the PSD then the AFL might as well scrap it. We'd be better off making Joel a vet inside the senior list and having 5 rookies next year.

Sounds like the mail is Melbourne is the club he chooses.

I know the McLean rumour is just that, a rumour, but do you think it'll affect any decision Brock makes. He might want to stay with the Demons now and play side by side with Judd.

PSD #1 - will there be anyone left!

[mightytiges]

Melbourne fans are already having a party on Demonology. They reckon it's a done deal and he'll sign with them next week. If I was a Dees fan (heaven forbid) I'd wait until 2pm Friday of trade week. We remember how Lockett said he wanted to come to Richmond  .

BF saying Melbourne has taken pick 4 off the table. If that was true then they'd have no chance of getting Judd. Eagles fans saying they've heard Judd for picks 4, 21 and Travis Johnstone or Judd for picks 4 and 6 (which Melb would get from Bombers for McLean).

I just hope we stay out of it.

[one-eyed]

Judd to call press conference this Wednesday according to BF.

[one-eyed]

Ch 9 news also saying Melbourne is favourite for Judd because he barracked for them as a kid and he wants to play on the 'G followed by Collingwood in a race out of two.

[rogerd3]

demons are his choice, but they will have to satisfy the eagles demands.

this deal wont be over the line till such time.

they will have to give up something to get something.

[Rodgerramjet]

Collingwood will be the preffered choice of one chris judd, the longer it takes to officially announce this, the better for richmond.

Behind the scenes, the clubs are clammering to appease the west coast eagles.
The tigers position on this matter is crucial, and just as crucial, it is a position that is flexible.

The names Reid/Brown/Rusling have been intimated as being available.

The tigers public position on this has been significant, their isnt one.

We will work with or against whoever gets us the best deal. If the deal isnt good enough, we will work to get judd ourselves

If pick 2 is traded, expect a downgrade on our 1st round pick, (West coasts or Collingwoods) , also expect at least 1 10 year 18/19 year key position footballer, that is regarded a blue chip talent

Pick 2 = Chris Judd, and everyone knows it.

Stay tuned 

Great work Blaisee this is exactly what is required

[Rodgerramjet]

it depends on the players offered ... if you pick up 2 outstanding youngsters then its worth it.

Yes, yes ,yes ramps, this is the point people have to get. but we need to make sure that it is great talent because what MT also said is true, we are not a charity.
