How will he decide

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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
