Who gets the job on Judd?

[one-eyed]

Sugar normally got the job on Judd whether at the Eagles or now with the Blues. Jacko is probably favourite now but do you think we may go for someone outside the square to tag Judd that Carlton won't be expecting?

[Mr Magic]

Good question cyclops.
Jackson is the obvious pick but geez I don't even have him in my side? ???
Maybe give Raines the job of shutting him down?? Hang on he's not in my side either??

Tough one.

[Chuck17]

Jacko for sure, if he is getting a bath then may go with Polo (if he makes the side)

[mightytiges]

Jacko would get first crack and hopefully for our sake he's the only one needed as it would mean we are winning the game. We'll still need a plan B though. Polo maybe as you said Chucky but will he make our round 1 side  . It's not obvious. Edwards has had run with roles in defence during the preseason but he's slight frame is no match-up for Judd.

[WilliamPowell]

Jackson for mine

If that doesn't work I'd plonk young Andrew Raines on him.... would be a very good test

[Hellenic Tiger]

Why don't we go left field on this  and get a hard nut and a fringe player who won't be missed even if he gets heavily suspended and get him to knock the football mercenary out cold much like Cowboy Neale on Peter Hudson in the 1971 GF.
No Judd and no Stevens should equate to a Tiger victory.
If we can reminisce with glee on Balmey's antics on Southby Waite and co in 1973 why should this be any different. Its only against the scum and a good start is imperative.
Do anything to win. That should dictate to everybody we won't be anybody's whipping boys and put a smile to Old Tigers' facres who used to bellow Eat Em Alive back in the Day.

If people are too horrified by my summation then Jacko gets first crack.

Bring back Balmey?

I would like to see Jackson get him at the bounce and try to nullify his possessions, then have Tuck run with him one on one. Tuck plays very tall and is bigger than Judd, just a thought.

Tuck is nowhere near accountable enough.  The most successful opponents against Judd wear him like a glove and negate him.  With Johnson out, Jackson is our next best option and I'm not sure if we have an adequate 3rd option.

Just promote someone who can get in the face of the mercenary and just give it to him during the game. Rather than us lying down b/c we are intimidated let us intimidate him and if he goes down as he is captain then let them all follow suit. It's not about sportsmanship on Thursday night its about winning. It's tribal, it's feral it's against our closest rival as we both are on a similar level in terms of development. It's about getting the jump on your opponent it's an 8 point game. It's about winning at all costs and leaving the field victorious it's about the past and all the wrongs we have suffered to these Scumbuckets.
There's no room for defeat nor for being humble at the end of this one if we lose. We are not sycophantic old English Country Sunday League cricketers. We are Richmond we are the Tigers the future and our journey to destiny begins on Thursday night. Let's rub their nose in it and let's start of with a win.

Does Tuck need to be accountable if he is beating him to the ball and winning it??? I agree with Jackson on him and maybe even White off and on.

[Infamy]

Jackson or King

[WA Tiger]

Jackson or King

I would rather have King on Betts if King even plays which I doubt. Raines on Betts doesnt really do it for me, Raines is not defensive enough and the ball could go straight back over his head to Betts if he turns it over. But surely we have another backup for Jackson.

[Smokey]

Yes he does.  Judd will cut anyone to ribbons who plays wide of him and Tuck is nowhere near accountable enough to blanket him, let alone win his own ball at the same time.  He is the wrong option.
