Don’t think a hamstring injury will make a difference to his decision.

He may well seek a trade, but hopefully he decides to stay for at least a couple more years.

I would be amazed if the two WA clubs weren’t all over him

Despite what ZH thinks, I imagine the other 17 clubs - plus our own - would rank him in the best small defenders in the competition

I don't disagree, but it means he isn't training - and certainly missing the first part of the season.

I'm simply relaying what info I'm getting.

And now we have the much unwanted time on the sidelines to think about life..

Let’s make sure someone visits him from the club…

It would surely be West Coast that goes after him hardest. Could offer a long deal that is heavily front-ended while their young list develops.

We should be able to match it, it's just whether he just wants to go home. Can't stop that.

If he does, put him in the trade for Harley Reid 😁

Why are we worrying about something that may never happen, Judd should be available by round 5-6 with any luck to help  with our rise back up the ladder and hopefully we make him an offer that he cannot refuse.😎👍

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 Kozzie’s partner, and that situation’s turned out fine.

I’m sure Judd will get the reminder all 17 other clubs overlooked him until we took the shot at pick 18 in the 2021’ rookie draft. Much like Lawson Humphries at Geelong, Judd was in West Coasts backyard and they overlooked him. 

Even Nic Martin trained with West Coast and they said no thanks. 
 

There was enough conversations between him, his management and the club last year that I would still expect something to be done. 
 

There was a 2 year deal on the table as well as a 4 year deal (like JVR’s) to take him to free agency (end of 2029). Melbourne are always open to different options to keep players like him (interstate young guys) comfortable.
