.......

Think some of you just have a problem with Judd because he didn't choose to become a Demon

And that isn't good enough reason for you!!

people have been killed for less

Depressing thought isn't it!

Nope, while I was very hopeful he would come to the red and blue, I just don't like how he shopped himself around, the little arrogant looking smile, the whole captaincy/job thing... Looking back I would have been disgusted if we offered him captaincy, totally lessens the achievements of homegrown heroes like Junior.

Sure he didn't have Judds raw skill but by god he earned respect and bled for the guernsey.

On a side note, who else cheered when hearing Grimesy and Sculls getting 3's?

Oh, and edit: most importantly I just don't think he was best and fairest this year.

Why was a poof with no sleaves and $20 'Bono' glasses butchering a classic?!? Hard to watch. However loved how much time was spent talking to Jimmy!

He didn't even make the starting 18 in the AA team FFS.

And to whoever said that we begrudge him for not choosing Melbourne, well I don't. In fact I think we dodged a massive bullet. I just hate that he was too much of a coward to admit that money was his sole motivation. He made clubs waste their time chasing him and came up with pathetic excuses about why he turned each club down. To stand up in a room full of AFL greats and profess your love for Melbourne and Jimmy but then turn around and say a [censored] up at the race with Greg Swan was your deciding factor is a joke.

Reality is that as said by others, Swan was best player with Ablett, then Judd.

The difference is the other people in the teams of those two took votes from them, Judd had no one take votes off him.

Not fussed he won it as team mates taking votes of each other is part of it all.

Hear, hear Jaded! Summed him up perfectly.

If i could have thrown a shoe at his smug head last night without risking the health of my TV I would have.

It actually says a lot about where Carlton are at that Judd gets so many BOG's. There's no Pendlebury to take votes off him, for one. Judd's second Brownlow came because his teammates are so bad that he's the only one that stands out.

I think this says a lot about a winner of a Brownlow....anyone that can poll so many votes after being the NO 1 TAGGING OPTION in his team week in week out.

thats the whole point of this. he gets tagged every week (unlike swan!) and still dominates. doesnt matter who's around him. one on one. best in the comp!

Agree 100%. The whole shop around was a cynical self-indulgent joke.

But I think it's unfair those that say he's not a ball player and he doesn't win his own ball. He wins plenty of his own eyeball.

He is a gun player, one of the all time greats.

But he also happens to be smug and selfish when it comes to his football (he might not be in real life).

He was lucky to win last night, but as I said to my Carlton friends, one player a team does not make.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
