I watched FC last night, and was surprised by the opinion in the dot points in the opening, considering i don't think we actually over celebrated... maybe we did cause channel 7 cut about 30 seconds after the game for me.

But... Judd clarified on the show, saying, we should save the celebration for when we actually win in September, which he was quite bullish about us doing. Giving us a clip in a sense, but he thinks we go deep. So maybe save the outrage. Big picture call Caro

Chris Judd clearly lacks any semblance of empathy if this is anything to go by. To be fair, you can't really be expected to get it if you haven't been emotionally invested in the club these past few years. Current players get it, fans get it, even a good chunk of past players get it (that Schwartz video nearly brought a tear to the eye). Judd doesn't. Whatever.

Having lived through the euphoria of '87 (and having documented it in various other posts over the years), I still reckon those six weeks and the two finals are the greatest sustained football excitement I have ever experienced. Having said that, the sheer relief, joy and subsequent collective celebration following the siren on Sunday comes a pretty close second. Interestingly, in '87 there was always no tomorrow, with one mistake bursting the dream - and as we know the dream was finally shattered on that day out at Waverley. Today however, there is a "tomorrow" and if Judd's point is that we have gone too hard and got ahead of ourselves, then I think he forgets that we still have one more game before the big stuff starts. We could very easily stuff up on Sunday against GWS, (very MFC!!) but does it really matter? Yes, we are still in with a mathematical chance for top four but does it really matter? Unlike '87, at this moment, I sense that our boys fear no one - they will be happy to play anyone in the 8, anywhere, anytime. The celebrations have been magnificent! As someone has posted earlier, unless you have lived it Mr Judd, you can never have the last 12 years explained to you. At the very least, if we have a downer against GWS - so be it. We are still in it and I am confident that in September we will be having a real crack! How long will it last? 1 week? 2 weeks? Dare to dream everyone! Go Dees. Sorry Mr Judd, I have been inspired by the last 48 hours - the spirit of not only the Dees faithful, but the football world as well. Perhaps there is message for Gill and Hocking as well. Leave the game alone!!

Well put CMWYW, my take on Judd was that it was nothing more than verbal click bait.  The way the other panelists responded confirmed it for me.  To be honest as a TV personality he makes a great ex-footballer.  His wife is a far better performer than him

Yeah, I know what you were saying.  In a similar vein I could say how could people defend Watts when someone says boo about him but are so quick to rip into the Queen for being a monarchist when I'm a republican.  My point:  no need to bring Watts into this discussion whatsoever.

Carlton celebrated too hard when they recruited Judd.

They didn't have any money left to celebrate

 

On further thought, Chris Judd probably has a bit of an aversion to over-celebration having begun his career at a club which held Ben Cousins as its talismanic leader and captain, and then he moved to a club where the culture was dominated by Brendan Fevola.

I still think he overreacted, but I'll accept that his thoughts are sincere and that his main thought is that the Demons are a prospect to hit the finals hard. Maybe he just hasn't had the doubt that the rest of the world has been throwing around? Could even be a fugazi thing. :D

Judd is a [censored]. He wasn’t a champion at Carlton. He can go and take a running jump.

Won a Brownlow and 3 B&Fs in mostly a crap side. Yeah he was.

Bec Judd...TV presenter...kinda of ironic statement because her work on Postcards is pretty ordinary.

Silly statement. I just want to know why it’s ok to be all nice and fuzzy towards Jack but say some of the crap that have been said towards Judd in this thread? Be consistent with your values.

Honestly mate who gives a toss. Pretty sure most people here respect Judd but this is a Dees forum and if people want to tell him to get stuffed then let them.

Don’t worry about Juddy. He will be 6 feet under by 40.  I know I would be if I was married to his missus.

What a joyless human. How much more over the top was that than when we beat Adelaide and Goodwin practically mounted all his assistants?

Back in your cardboard box J**d.

Jack Riewoldt on AFL 360 said he can’t understand why there needs to be negative commentary around celebrations like that after a game when the question was put to him.......12 years.....12 bloody long years of misery.

Lewis added that once on the plane home everything returned to business as usual.

Jack was good tonight. Seemed genuinely glad to see us break the drought and was able to share his own experience. One of the better current players in the media.

Agree with that Layzie, didn’t enjoy Jack so much on the field and that’s even changing now (never thought it would) .....I think he’s been very good on that show in the last couple of years and I liked the part where he said he would love to be the Coleman medalist if it happens this year. A lot of players brush off the question when asked about individual awards but I liked his honesty.

Yeah, provided they collectively mooned the Eagles cheer squad on the way there ... ?

Yeah he didn’t sound stupid either he just talked about how you want to be the best player you can be etc. As a key forward you have to want goals and demand the footy so I’m all for this attitude.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
