So he's a restricted free-agent and I was just reading the AFL rules regarding that. We can match the offer and if he refuses to sign he must either seek a trade or enter the draft. I'm not 100% on the wording as it says national draft on one page and just draft on another.

Can anyone confirm if he can choose the pre-season draft over the national draft?

 

Judd's not eligible for free agency yet. If his contract expires he can nominate for one of the drafts.

I'm not 100%, but I think he qualifies as a restricted free agent because we originally recruited him off the rookie list or something. It's kinda perverse in a way - give a player a break that others are not willing to, then they are basically free to walk at the end.

Honestly, I think if he nominates a move to another club, we should play handball, match the order and see if he really wants to play roulette in the draft.

I thought that was just he had been previously desisted. Like with Jordan when he was desisted then rookied.

He's classified as a non free agent because to be a restricted free agent you need to have spent eight years at your first club and be in the top 25% earners on the playing list, but it's a similar deal in terms of how a player navigates getting to another team when they're out of contract.

The first option is negotiating a trade and if that isn't agreed upon between clubs, the non free agent can choose his contract length and dollar amount before nominating for either draft. So if McVee wants West Coast, we don't have a tremendous amount of leverage given their position in the pre-season draft.


I note his girlfriend Lily is playing for the Dees’ women’s side tonight.

Have we thought about extending Lily’s contract?

Don’t get all this talk about getting Judd into the midfield. He’s not a midfielder.

There are also other rules for rookies. The one which I thought might have applied to Judd probably doesn't:

A 2nd year Rookie not accepting a further Rookie contract will be considered a Delisted Free Agent, and therefore will be an Unrestricted Free Agent.

There is also the delisted free agent that after being delisted will be a perennial free agent for life after expiry of a contract. It's possible we might have somehow delisted Judd in order to draft and promote him to the senior list, but I'm not sure on that one.

Extremely poor today. He was so slow to make a decision and generally put his teammates under huge pressure.

Needs a coach to mentor and develop him . Same goes for Howes, Langford, McVee, Kolstrop, Lindsay, Rivers, Hrnderson, Windsor, Culley, etc. who showed a bit to start with but are now still getting a kicking from the fans.

Another shocker by Judd?

He was up against it today. He was playing behind a midfield who were disorganised, had no system, and a team who kick short, which is how to beat us.

I thought he had some good moments when he would compete playing further up the ground.

And he may well be waiting on seeing who that might be 😉

I’d say poor, but hi season has been a 3-4 out of 10, his best we miss, how he has played this year not so much.

Would rather he stats and gets in a strong pre season, then we should see much better form!


So reading between the lines he's staying pending a new coach promising him 25 cheapies a week (I hope it happens mind you)

I hope he stays but I’m not sure Judd has covered himself in glory throughout this.

Channel your Angus Brayshaws, Jake Boweys and Ed Langdons and play where the team needs you the most son. You’ve played 60-odd games of league football after being picked up as a rookie after every other team passed on you. What gives you the right to think you can be delivering ultimatums to the footy department about where you should and should not be playing?!

  • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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.

    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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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 isn’t a standard concept—it’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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
