Carlton's Judd saga & third party

Featured Replies

Posted

Why doesn't Mike Fitzpatrick come out of the shadows from behind AFL scenes & shed some light on the Visy 3rd party dealings at Car'ton?

and the Judd recruitment?

and the Kreuzer Cup 2007?

Speak up Mike F, & dim'itriou.

Your silence re Car'ton is deafening the whole media.

Thrid party payments/dealings werent against the rules when Judd signed.

Thats why $cully was the highest paid contracted player this year, whereas if you had taken in Judd's Visy and environment ambassador payments + his contract there would have been quite a difference.

Long story short it will be interesting to see what happens to Judd when his contract is up for renegotiation & Carlton's salary cap

good, lets bring It ALL out in the Open then.

the AFL will have nothing to hide, nor will M Fitzpatrick, if it was all above the Board???

In terms of third party dealings - they will have nothing to hide and nothing to be ashamed about because it was within the rules.

You cant be retrospective in terms of morals and rules

Funny how fitz is a carlton man, and is seen regular at carlton games sitting next to the carlton presdent, talk about conflict of interests

retrospective, so if they are so proud of the juds deal why hasn't it been as transparent in the media as other AFL topics.

It may be legal, but that doesn't mean if the public understand it & whats taken place, that they will like it.

Let s see it put out in black & white print on the paper.. People may eve buy one, just to read it, rather than the cop the public relations blancmange they serve every other day.

I thin the footy public would like to know which clubs are getting a helping hand from these afl friendly rules to some.

Agree DL.

Spew it all out. I have waited for this for a long time.

Fix it AFL. Rewrite the rule. NOW.

We have to keep this post & the others at the top of the boards & take it to Big footy and others to get a groundswell going.

So the AFL can't hide behind they're own Media blanket.

Mike Fitzpatrick,,, Its movember did you know. what is that you say??? we can't quite read your lips, or hear what you have to say in those back rooms.

How was it that radar got a strong blue contract, after the Kreuzer Cup?

I think your getting a bit confused.

1. "hasn't it been as transparent in the media as other AFL topics" - let me ask you a simple question, how many clubs talk about how much their player's contracts are worth? Contracts are a no-go-conversation for all clubs, and no one is transparent.

2. "so if they are so proud of the juds deal" - Who is saying they are proud? I said they wouldnt be ashamed. Dont try and change my words.

3. "It may be legal, but that doesn't mean if the public understand it & whats taken place, that they will like it." - This is a weak argument. How much do the public know about AFL rules and I'm sure if you asked any Carlton supporter, Collingwood, West Coast, Essendon and very possibly us if we would be happy to retain a player because some of his salary came from third party dealings I'm sure you would know the answer. The only reason why it was banned was to create greater competitivness and ease the growing gap between rich and poor clubs.

4. "Let s see it put out in black & white print on the paper.. People may eve buy one, just to read it, rather than the cop the public relations blancmange they serve every other day." - I honestly have no idea what you are talking about

5. "I thin the footy public would like to know which clubs are getting a helping hand from these afl friendly rules to some." - No one is getting help from third party dealings in player contracts. As I said earlier, it was banned a long time ago, get over it.

I understand what your trying to do, and its fine to have a go at other clubs because you feel that we are being singled out, but ffs make sure what your saying is correct and relevant

I don't care about that or or individual specifics. But the advantages the clubs have had from these obscure rules & backroom afl deals by faceless people.

Why was Pagan sacked? My understanding is that Carlton knew they had Judd around Round 12 or 13 in 2007, and Denis still trying to win games would jeopardise this, so he was fired and replaced by Ratten who was told to make sure there no more wins and after achineving this was rewarded with the coaching job for 2008. Riley knew he wouldn't be at the Dees in 2008 so I guess the offer from Carlton, which must have come before Round 22 may have had some influence, although I could have coached the team to a win over Carlton that day. Even Caroline Wilson said around the time Carlton knew they had Judd that the Blues would not win another game that year.

But we can't read his lips, they just don't seem to move, out in the light of Day?

If hew shaved it would he be faceless?

If you dont care about it or individual specifics then dont attempt to raise up topics, which are wrong, and then go cry and resort to immature comments like 'I dont want to play anymore' when someone calls you on your BS.

All you had to do was edit your post and move on.

I think you well and truly deserve to win a medal on the biggest [censored] out and immature comment on demonland.

apparently look up AFL integrity & you find this picture >

FitzyChairman_246.jpg

talk of integrity according to mike,

THE FULL statement from AFL Commission chairman Mike Fitzpatrick on Ben Cousins.

"I just want to say before we deliver the decision that the AFL Commission today had a difficult decision to make.

"We had to weigh up many competing interests – not just the issue of Ben Cousins the player – but also the interests of the wider football family and indeed the wider community and the integrity of the game.

That is actually very debatable

The reality is the AFL decided to turn a blind eye to it for whatever reason

One supposed reason was the AFL felt they had been too harsh on carlton over the salary cap punishments and this was a way of squaring up so to speak

They had the power to disallow the visy ruling as being outside the cap as the rules stood then but decided not to

Just another example of AFL meddling and bending the system to suit as it pleases them

Why when brock says the dees tanked there is a big investgation, but when Libba says the same thing about carlton, and fev wright it in his book, it is dismissed, when some thing is put in wrighting it is more powerfull then words, there is a editor, words can come out without thinking, a book has more thought, fitz and kenhan are too close, funny when they are watching carlton games next to each other, the judd deal whould not have happen at anyother club.

Why when brock says the dees tanked there is a big investgation, but when Libba says the same thing about carlton, and fev wright it in his book, it is dismissed,

apparently the AFL walked away after Carlscum officials made it clear that they "Hit the post many times".

Sadly your ability to lie well is obviously taken into account.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
