Normally I would agree but they look like a genuine contender next year - on paper at least. Guns everywhere

Dont doubt the appeal of WA. I was amazed by the potential over there and have been saying to get your kids qualified and send them over there where there is a shortage of every trade and skill. The place is run by a small number of uber rich using backpacker and flyin fly out labour.

Get Judd to Uni get him qualified and able to invest in the most exciting future environmentย  locations in the world.ย

Itโ€™s a good place for trades or if you want to work in mining, but limited other than that.ย 

Relax yโ€™allโ€ฆ I had an awesome chat with Juddโ€™s girlfriend Lily at last nightโ€™s B&F about a range of things (hair and nails and makeup. You know, the important things) and thereโ€™s โ€œabsolutely no way heโ€™s going back to WA.โ€ Judd came over and we stopped talking but he guessed what weโ€™d been discussing and he confirmed that heโ€™s not interested at all in returning to WA.

I would hope that's the case but Judd and his partner aren't going to tell supporters anything other than he's staying, regardless of his actual intentionsย

Used to be the cap state, but that's been usurped by the Sunshine coast. Even though now environment means a lot.

You don't have to justify yourself. Thanks again for the great insights, which I'm sure the vast majority of us here really appreciate.

This kind of response comes up all the time here, and it's such a weak, flawed argument - not to mention, confirmation bias.

This is true. I can hardly post an entire 20-minute conversation verbatim, but I wanna share the general vibe which in this case was great. This kind of response is exactly what happened when I had a very similar conversation with Kozzieโ€™s partner, and that situationโ€™s turned out fine.

I'm staggered that anybody could possibly argue with this.

@Ghostwriteryour insight is appreciated. But chats like this should of course be taken with a grain of salt. If he is thinking of leaving (not saying he is!) of course he's not going to tell supporters that!

If you have an ounce of sense, you know to take this with a grain of salt. What isn't necessary is sniping at people simply providing information.ย

I never preface a report of a conversation with โ€œHe/she may not be telling me the truth but he/she saidโ€ฆโ€ because I assume everyone already knows thereโ€™s a possibility that he/she isnโ€™t telling the truth.
ย 

In this instance Judd brought the subject up which leads me to believe he was 100% sincere, but asย @bing181ย said, I shouldnโ€™t have to justify myself.

edit: a former poster put up with this โ€˜til she couldnโ€™t any longer. I donโ€™t want a repeat of this.ย

Thereโ€™s also the possibility that Judd may be telling the truthโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

If a player says one thing it must be the other ๐Ÿคฆ

I really rate this kid as a high quality role player in the back half.ย  Can lock down well whilst showing he has excellent rebounding skills with his sharp pace, good decision making and efficient kicking.

Not a fan of seeing him in the midfield.ย  Don't mind they gave it a crack late in the year with nothing to lose to see how he'd go, but he's far more valuable as an asset down back.ย ย 

I'd be amazed if West Coast and Fremantle weren't fair dinkum having a crack at this kid.ย  That's just the price you pay for having good players at your club.ย ย 

Just like I'd be amazed if we weren't continually talking to every Victorian kid with talent who plays in SA, NSW, QLD or WA.ย ย 

I'm not a believer of him being a future All-Australian or anything like that - primarily as he's a defender who defends instead of zoning off getting 25 touches - but there is no reason he won't be a 200-250 gamer for the club and finish multiple Melbourne B&Fs in the top 10.

I can't see a single example of anyone sniping at @Ghostwriterย on this thread though. Sniping and discussing are two completely different things!

Luke Jackson the day after draft night with his new mfc jumper on having a break from talking to media at docklands said to me he has been to melb with sports rep sides many times and loved it and he knew he would likely leave WA anyway and was very happyย

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
