Maybe I'm reading too much into this and more than likely there is nothing in it, but is there a chance maybe something is going to come to light regarding shady dealings in his salary arrangements with the club? The fact that he has stepped down from the captaincy raises no suspicions, but the leadership group as well?

Perhaps MM does not like him?

Might have something to do with him being a free Agent next year.....

I don't believe that is true tatu.

My understanding is you to have been 8 years with the one club.

He has not been 8 years at Carlton from my memory.

Probably as simple as Mouse wanting to recast the leadership group in light of 1) his ideas mightny have been as per Rats and 2) time for a fresh reboot.

he probably told the club they are not paying him enough for the extra responsibility.. if you want me to captain I want 14 million dollars a year

"If you want me to continue as captain, I need a promotion from my ambassador role of Visy to CEO of Visy, have a word to Jeannie..."

in fact I must be Prime Minister of Australia - I am not going to actually do anything just the title and the paycheck

Dude, Judd would be an awesome PM. Think of the Judd v Abbott budgie smuggler comps. They could have them right now in Parliament and it wouldn't even detract from the current quality of debate.

Also, hot first lady (or whatever we call her). Zoo weekly will go nuts.

I see Judd as similar to Neitz in a way. He is a very good player in a team lacking a sufficient number of other leaders. My guess is that he and Malthouse decided it was best for him to step away from the leadership role in order for other players to develop into leaders; otherwise, they could end up like Melbourne has since Neitz retired.

Seems to me Malthouse is doing at Carlton what Neeld did with Melbourne last year.

He is letting it be known he will be running the club whoever's toes he happens to stand on in the process.

If the players don't like it look for a big cleanout at year's end.

Buy in or get out!!

He wouldn't accept the pay cut...........though.......... maybe a union slush fund by some other name????

Maybe it is simply MM knowing what everyone else knows

Judd is not a natural leader and like a lot of clubs do simply choose the teams best player

Collingwood made what most of us thought was a strange choice in Nick Maxwell but we know why now

Being a great player has very little to do with team leadership qualities

When i look at Carlton i think names like Nicholls and Kernerhan as standouts

Even Mike Fitzpatrick was a good captain without being outstanding and miles in front of Judd

Whitten is the best captain i have seen and no surprise why he was selected as the TOC captain

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
