Judd sore, but no worries: Blues

Posted Feb 6, 2008

Despite rumblings over the past week suggesting Carlton recruit Chris Judd had re-aggravated his troublesome groin in South Africa, Blues’ football manager Steven Icke told SEN radio in Melbourne on Wednesday that the former West Coast captain was on track for a debut in Carlton colours late in the preseason.

Icke did add that Judd ‘pulled up sore’ from some intense training over the past week or two.

“It’s fair to say that he pulled up a bit sore, but when you realise he hasn’t done a lot of the football training since the preseason started, you’re going to pull up a bit sore from doing a full scale training session,” Icke said.

Judd underwent a groin operation in the off-season, but is scheduled to be ready for Carlton’s season opening home and away clash against Richmond at the MCG on March 20.

“His recovery is on track and we expect him to play about round three of the NAB Cup,” Icke said.

Even though Ratten was trying to make out nothing was wrong, Judd didn't sound too chirpy or confident on Sports Tonight when interviewed today.

Judd talk appears below the belt

Judd said he felt his injury was taking longer than expected to heal, but was confident of meeting Ratten's timetable.

"The question I get asked the most is, 'When will I be ready?' and the simple answer is I don't know. I don't have a crystal ball," Judd said.

"I'm hopeful of playing a pre-season game and being ready for Round 1."

The grapevine suggests he will be a late starter.

Richmond knows he will be either missing or underdone for Round 1 on March 20.

But the grapevine has had his groin in shreds, too, and that certainly doesn't seem the case.

if richmond had any confidence whatsoever going into 2008 we should hope judd the money hungry prick plays so we could beat them with him in it.

seriously how good would that feel, almost like winning a final

Agree daniel. If Judd doesn't play you can already here the excuses from Blues fans  . Let's give them nothing.

[tigersalive]

stuff em.  I'll be all over that Carlton board.

The latest rumour doing the rounds is Judd may o may not play round 1 but that's not the main issue. More that his groin is a ticking timebomb and may go again anytime if he continues to play. Sad for Judd as no one wants to see careers finished early due to injury (Freezer  ) but the Blues are screwed if any of this is true.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Pity for Judd but it could not happen to a nicer football club if the rumours become substantiated. Time will tell.
6 million bucks to sign autographs on family day and where Carlton merchandise ahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Hope Josh Kennedy becomes a superstar.
