Let's recruit Judd now

Maybe next year
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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:

    He'll have a highly paid job at Visy lined up as part of the whole deal

    he could pose as a cardboard cutout figure.

    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.

    Only if he brings Bec dressed in a devil outfit for our new mascot.

    Much rather Jane Bunn O.O

    He wanted Eagles compensated as well when he departed. Carlton coughed up Kennedy.

    Who would we have sent West? Matthew Bate?

    Pass and serves him right for going to Carltank.

    Maybe he could teach the chicken wing hold and a few other tricks he has picked up over the years...

    Thats a no

    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.

    Anyone who has enough sour grapes to not want Judd at our club because he went to Carlton doesn't deserve to see Melbourne be successful.

    ?????

    Wow

    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...

    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.

    Our own coach played over 350 games.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
