I have heard from a source at Carlton that they feel as though it is unlikely they will get him. A couple of his key concerns are:

- The financials (he is asking to look at the books at every club)

- The fewest games possible at Telstra Dome

- The potential for success

- The clubs facilities

- Environmental practices (apparently Judd is a greeny)

In my opinion this puts Collingwood in the box seat followed by Melbourne.

Maybe because he could play with Brad GREEN it would allow us to get a tick in the environmental box??

If he cares about the financial situation, we are out too.

We can only do so much for him. I want to get Judd desperately, but basically we can only present what we have, take it or leave it.

If he wants Collingwood, he can go to Collingwood. Good luck trying to live a normal life though!

see my post elsewhere.. Money is irrelevant in all this. He wil get similar where ever. The forces of caps etc conspire to do this. . External opportunities may have influence. He's into development etc. So "opportunites' may be of interest to him. Its more about where he wants to go

If he looks at the books it would show that we have made steady profits for the last few years, unlike Carlton which is apparent red-hot ravourite. Essendon, Hawthorn, Saints and Bulldogs are out cause of TD leaving Collingwood, Melbourne and Richmond. Richmond is out because of quick success not happening anytime soon and Melbourne is out cause of there [censored]-poor facilities (soon to be upgraded, albeit 150 years too late) and they havent' really made steady profits over the past decade or so until the last couple of seasons, and even then it hardly compares to Collingwood's financial position.

Collingwood is a given imo.

I suspect your taking this the wrong way. If I was Judd & had the success that he allready knows I would be looking for a fresh challenge in life.We know he's coming home for love, not money. So his motives are more meaningfull things to him like satisfying his lifes desires, :- getting married & having children & sharing them with his family. Maybe he hopes that if he has a son then one day he too might play for the red & blue. You say he's a greenie, that's great so am I. So he's a sesitive caring soul who cares about more impotant things than just materialism. No wonder he's coming home.

I would want to look at the books to see if their was a future for this club to help it awaken, ie recruit & develope.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
