It was a shame to see a champion of the game end his career in the way it happened. What better person could we choose to nurture, mentor and teach our young midfielders. Let's show him there is life after football. He was a Melbourne supporter as a child so he will have a soft spot for us so let's strike now.

I'm OK with that; but he may want to pay us some money as incentive, or we may have used our picks up, by the time his number is in lime light. :rolleyes:

we could put him on a wheel, spin him around in a lucky dip fund raiser, & throw cream puffs at him. :cool:

I'm whispering that while it's very sad for Judd to cop an injury like this one, I would prefer not to see him at the club. I don't really like him and I don't like the way he conducted himself when h

The best coaches were average players. Great players rarely make great coaches.

Lyon and Clarkson are probably considered 2 of the best.

WTF? Scott, Thompson, Roos, Woosha, Longmire, Blight. All premiership coaches, all great players imo.

Judd also wasn't a great leader. Not sure he would be the greatest coach either.

He was undoubtedly a great player but a few things let him down as a person.

The lack of leadership on the boat issue when he first joined the Cheaters was pretty poor for a captain.

And then there were the pressure point, the eye gouging and the chicken wing incidents.

And his very disparaging comments on MFC's play for him to me DQs him from a rôle at our club.

Fark NO.

Those wanting to spend too much on someone who has too much.It's why Carlton are now broke.

If you think Judd gives a flying about footy you would be wrong.

I don't want to sound uncharitable, so I'll say this as nicely as possible.

It pleases me that I'll never see him grace a footy field ever again. I'm quietly rejoicing that his career is over and I've been looking forward to this day for a long time.

I also must say that the few years he was at his peak he's the best midfielder I've seen. I love Voss, Williams, Black, etc. and rate Matthews' career as being unrivalled (as far as mids go), but for a few years Judd was without peer. I rate his best better than Ablett Junior's best, but I know many/most won't agree.

Judd is no leader. Ask any that have played with him.

FFS he was handcuffed to Levi Casboult when they had to ring LC's father because the 18yo was so smashed he couldn't stand up. Great leadership Juddy. Lets see Mitch RObinson, oh can't be bothered...

Terrible to see a player like Judd go out that way, wouldnt wish it upon any player

But not as terrible as the vicious act of eye gouging, for which he has been found guilty twice.

He also stomped on a Melbourne recruit's(Nick Walsh, who didn't make the firsts) stomach, and deliberately twisted his stops.

These things must not be forgotten during all the panegyrics.

Great player,but far from an ornament to the game.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    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,
