Seems Judd and his manager took our club for a ride. You may not believe what some posters are suggesting on here, but plenty of posters with good connections and sources all heard the same re: Judd wanting to stay.

So screw that ungrateful cry baby who we plucked from obscurity during Covid and made a great player, who isn’t happy to play the role he’s being asked to play

What a pathetic way to pay the club back.

I think this annoys me even more than his going...

Why are you acting like the player should be telling random fans they're leaving? I don't blame him for lying, it is what he would be told to do by his manager.

In time I can accept his move but that he consistently and without compunction lied to our dear Ghosty @Ghostwriter is beyond the pail!

Not sure he will be on my favourite list much longer ... methinks it is time to find a new avatar.

We plucked him out of nowhere.

Does it open a Jackson door?

Mate that ship sailed well as soon as Pickett re-signed and Goodwin got the [censored].

Few confident people were saying had signed. I was pretty sure he hadn’t based off how long this had gone on.

It’s ok.

We will find someone to fill the gap and we will be fine.

Just need another good ball user.

Shouldn’t be an issue. Right? 😅

Let's forget about getting pick eleven

yep, worse than pathetic. hope we all boo him

Is anyone really surprised? You don't wait this long and then opt to stay.

Freo is pulling dodgy on us and the club absolutely needs to stand firm. We can't keep bleeding out WA talent after a few years. It's not bloody good enough.

Reminiscent of $cully.

Also I am guessing this means we keep May? No way we can afford to lose two key defenders in one off season after having already lost Hibberd.

Get the absolute best pick we can for him and LET JASON TAYLOR COOK! 💪

I know we won’t do that, as it screws us, but my god I’d be tempted to let him walk to the draft and end up at West Coast and rot at the bottom of the ladder for the best years of his career.

Filthy at this. Absolutely filthy.

Exactly the sort of selfish attitude and me first mentality that we need to rid the club of.

You’d think he was languishing at Casey all year, instead of being rushed back from a hammy and played thru truly mediocre form all year!

he was poor this year. curtailed preseason due to injury obviously a factor but i doubt we'll get anything better than pick 29 for him.

we'll find another youngster and develop them instead.

we move on with the players that want to play for us

and another reason to hope Freo never win a flag

i mean the waiting for the new coach seemed like a valid reason to wait

Who said he was staying ?

Girlfriend in Melbourne and just wanted to get some more midfield minutes.

He was part of our 19-22 group coming through.

Really disappointed. Really pi&$$&() off.

Returning home ?!?!

We gave him the chance after all the other clubs didn’t draft him.

Loyalty ?? What is that ???

Says a bit about the kid

If we’re a serious football club, then we’ll tell him “ if this is about going home, then you will go to the club that gives us the better pick”

Probably, but having a bit of a dream isn't rhw worst thing.

I'm not thinking the club is one bit surprised.

The language was there all along.

I disregard anything he apparently said, as is often the way actions speak louder.

Personally I dont give a 🐀🐀🐀🐀

A very average player for mine.

This just helps King develop a new team.

Onwards and upwards.

I do have empathy for those that trusted him.

This.

He wants to dictate where he plays? He can do that at West Coast and enjoy a lovely collection of wooden spoons and Hungry Jacks meals.

So we’re all referring to him as ‘Porky’ from now on yes?

This will always be a possibility with WA players. Has to be a consideration when drafting from that state
