Judd's Prize

[Hulett Packard III 166]

Fair dinkum they've spent longer interviewing Twigley than Chri$!

Probably a good thing!

Swan was robbed no question

Fair effort after missing the first three games through suspension but he lost me when he said he supported Melbourne as a kid. Wish he didn't say that.

Otherwise, it's a bit of an indictment on Carlton's recruiting. Where's their future if they're so dominated by one player?

[Reality Bus 17]

Could Andrew Maher turn it any more in to a w@nkfest?

[Demons 32 235]

Despite all hate for Judd the fact is he is Carltons only good player.

So whenever the Blues win he would vote, because the Blues suck... except for Judd.

Swan, Ablett, Hayes all had tremendous years, but with Pendles, Didak, Bartel, Selwood, Goddard, Montanga all polling it is always going to be hard for them.

Those guys have the fortune of being in great teams, instead of being the superstar of a bad team. Without Judd Carlton would win 50% less so he is a top 5 chance every year.

I personally would rather a premiership and im sure Swan would to...

Also, look on the bright side!! Did you see Eddie's face?? Now come on the Saints to give the double whammy to the Pies!!

Could he be a bigger [censored]?! Ugh!

And going on about Jimmy too. Please, who are you kidding, the only thing you've ever supported is your bank account. Probably the only true thing you said all night was when you described yourself as selfish.

Could Andrew Maher turn it any more in to a w@nkfest?

I have absolutely no doubt he could - his talent in this area is limitless.

How can someone with such a poor command of the English language, combined with an equally appalling manner of delivery, manage to land himself a job in broadcasting? Does he work cheap or something? Fair dinkum, I hear more profound commentary when I'm down the local boozer - Maher is an insufferable bore.

Oh and on the topic of Judd (fine player that he is) I actually reckon the quality of his disposal really dropped off this year. I can't recall him butchering so many of his kicks in previous years anyway - he has always been a great kick so it really stood out. Perhaps the maggots are really only capable of seeing the numbers accumulated as opposed to seeing the quality? They are deeply flawed - as we all know!!

Despite all that, no-one can seriously begrudge him his second Brownlow. He is a superstar - a mercenary, but a superstar nonetheless!!

Eddies face was priceless for that split second. It just showed how [censored] he was about it!

[Reality Bus 17]

"surely chris wouldn't be the type of bloke to build a shrine to himself?"

Um no, radar. Twigs just said they might display the medals in their new house. You would be the type of bloke that would build a shrine to yourself.

[BAMF 3,809]

Protected player again this year.

I'm not going to forget how he got away with driving his elbow into pavlich's face.

Should have been 2 weeks minimum. Instead he gets a brownlow. Umpires award indeed.

[Watt and Howe? 16]

News just in. Umpire Mclaren gets 'Judd forever' tattoo'd over his left chest.

[dees189227 11,016]

I was rapt to see Judd win because it was unexpected. I was expecting an early night. I thought swan would have it wrapped up by round 15. Just because a player gets 37 possies a game doesnt mean they are all good possessions. yeah Swan got the ball heaps of times but they wernt all quality possessions.

If Judd got suspended then Ablett would have won it. What Judd said about being a melbourne supporter and admiring Jim and Garry was something I've heard him say many times before. You could tell he meant it what he said about Jim and Reach and he is right. The real world is what Jim does and every other person does in the world. Not go out once a week and kick the footy. I have no doubt that tonight Jim and Chris will have a chat to each other.

I also thought it was night when Tim Lane interviewed Jim. I wasnt expecting anything like that. It was nice the standing ovation and everyone in the room was fixated on him.

The priceless thng to me both times they went to Eddie. The look on his face was priceless. He just looked so mad. I can imagine him going into the club tomorrow and saying to the players, the umpires hate us, everyone else hates us now lets win the grand final and stick it up everyone.

I have to say Good Luck to Judd, but what it really shows is how poor carlton would be without him.

Who else voted in the carlton side?? Swan lost because Pendlebury also had a great year.

But if judd gets injured Carlton are shot.

As what was said above. I hope Chris & Jimmy get together for a good chat this evening.

To me the Brownlow has been a Tainted award since '86 when 2 of the League's best known hit men tied for the award....Fairest indeed.

Couldn't disagree more.

I'm not his biggest fan, but how he spoke about Jimmy couldn't have been more dignified and respectful. And going by the nodding of Jim's head, he looked like he agreed too.

Judd's acceptance speech was actually very, very good.

A picture's worth 1,000 words and one can only hope to find a replica at 5.30pm this Saturday.

Despite all hate for Judd the fact is he is Carltons only good player.

So whenever the Blues win he would vote, because the Blues suck... except for Judd.

Absolutely spot on. Carlton's next best poller was Kade Simpson on 9 votes - come on. All the possible winners from Collingwood, St. Kilda and Geelong all stole too many votes off each other for it to be possible to beat the one man team.

I don't mean to piss on Judd's parade at all because there's absolutely no doubt he's champion player, but I think he's benefitted greatly by the fact that he's not in a champion team at present.

I'm sure he'd prefer to be having crack at another flag anyway.

I know, I loved it. I can't wait too see it again on Saturday afternoon.

Sorry Jaded but I can't agree. I'm certainly not a Judd fan, but he lifted a couple of notches in my estimation when be spoke about Jimmy and people like him being the real heroes. To me it came across as a genuine comment, and I respect him for having said it.

Agree with you. To me it was genuine, and if you think otherwise you underestimate the profound effect Jimmy has on people he meets. When shaking hands with the past winners, Judd also stopped at Jimmy and said 'you're an inspiration' while looking him in the eye. That wasn't for the cameras or for the room, that was genuine also.

[StevenStretch 1]

Anyone that says Swan was robbed is kidding themselves, you don't fluke multiple brownlow medals. You can say his votes were stolen by whoever you like, i'd rather view it that those players played better on the day. Judd's speech for someone not expecting to win was outstanding, wouldn't expect anything less from him. Is he a mercenary, probably, if you left your job to move closer to family and friends and company A) offered this and company B) offered more which of you would go to company B?, I would. I was probably bitter when he did not come to Melbourne but 3 years is plenty of time to move on. He is a superstar and deserves his medal.
