Carlton-Judd threads [merged]

[Hellenic Tiger]

imagine if judd just does not recover. what happens with his contract ? 

He becomes the noughties version of the 6 million dollar man only without the magic powers.
He will be very available for signing autographs at Carlton family days until 2012.
His biography will also reveal sordid affairs between him and Dick Pratt and Brett Ratten. All part of the proud and sordid shenanigans that have been going on at Carlton since 1897. Easiest 6 million dollars anyone could make.

It'd be like Kouta with his 5-year deal when he hardly played. A contract is a contract and Carlton would have to hang onto Judd until 2012 or pay out the $6m.

CARLTON says former captain Lance Whitnall is welcome back at the club and hopes to use a farewell lap before Round 1 to help resolve an ugly rift over his departure.

They'll probably make him run it.

ahahahahaha   

It will be a slow trundle that way he can pick up a few snacks from appreciative fans along the way. A couple of hot dogs here, a few pies there, some buckets of chips all washed down with a few crispy gassie soft drinks and who knows maybe a hug from his brother Shane.

Go Tiges lol

The Blues are going to have it set up like at the greyhounds but instead of a fake stuffed rabbit moving along the fence they'll have a Big Mac.

Visy's Pratt gives up civic honours
Monday Feb 25 05:50 AEDT

Billionaire cardboard magnate Richard Pratt has given up his national community service honours ahead of mooted plans to strip him of the awards.

Mr Pratt was made an Officer of the Order of Australia for services to industry, sport and the arts 20 years ago, and was upgraded to Australia's highest civic honour, the Companion of the Order of Australia, a decade ago.

News Limited newspapers said on Monday the Melbourne businessman had informed the Governor-General, Major-General Michael Jeffery, he wants to give up the honours after hearing last week that the Council for the Order of Australia was considering whether to strip him of them.

Well I think that shows a bit of class.

In any case, he's had the champagne party, the celebrations are long forgotten, he's getting old, who gives a rats and who remembers that he got them. A no brainer and probably told to do it by the PR company.

Dopey Fev has been picked up for speeding in a school zone

Dopey Fev has been picked up for speeding in a school zone 

Yes it is stupid but geez do we have to know about it.
Hasn't anyone here ever got a speeding fine? We all should not have got them
whether in a school zone a freeway or wherever but I don't need to know
every little mundane minute and insignificant thing that goes on.
Does this mean he will front the cameras at Optus Oval apologise take a club fine
be sanctioned apologise to the little kids playing with their hot wheels race car sets???
It did not have to be publicised ,surely there were other more newsworthy items
that could have been aired. I watched it on Channel 9 and it was on well before the first break like 3rd or 4th story. For goodness sakes.

Miller talked about the Judd deal this morning with KB. He laughed at Judd's manager when that $2 million price was put on Judd's head. Knew it was a bluff as Carlton couldn't pay that either. Basically the AFL stepped in and got Judd to the Blues to ward off the AFLPA's push for free agency  .

so the afl endorsed cheating

Yup but he never says it like that, or Ive never heard him.  Keeps it cluey but we all know what went on.

Well the AFL give the Blues $1.5 million from the competitive balance fund each year to prop them up and then they go out and pay $6m over 5 years on one player with the AFL blocking other clubs who abide by trade week rules out of the process.

In any case getting Judd would've cost us a fortune in picks as well as $$$ so history may judge that we'll be better off without him long-term especially if his groin keeps causing him chronic problems.

Probably just a garbage rumour but there's mixed reports doing the rounds on Carlton forums and BF that Nick Stevens may have played his last game.

My VERY reliable sources have advised that Nick Stevens took a very hard knock to the neck region last week and is undergoing tests tomorrow. Apparently he is in a lot of pain and if the results this week are negative he will be calling it quits. He is very down at the moment and thinks its more than likely over.

From what i was told. Precautionary after he felt soreness after the match. Naturally he was very concerned due to the trauma he went through last year. BUT in saying all of that its expected that everything will be ok and will be right for round 1.
