Judd's Worth

[Wiseblood 24,636]

on bigfooty they reckon one of em heard mark robinson on SEN saying he recieved a contact from perth saying its down to two clubs??!! wtf? since when has judd made the decision?? il lose respect for chris judd if he walsk to collingwood!!

It's all rubbish - so much [censored] will be thrown around in the coming weeks that we need to ignore it all UNLESS Judd himself comes out with it.

Until then nothing is settled or decided IMO.

Speculation... like they were claiming they knew who the shortlist for the Melbourne coaching positions were... It's amusing that these guys have both radio and newspaper gigs... so they can be wrong twice as often.

I find this comment in the article interesting:

'His current contract with West Coast expires at the end of 2007, and he said as early as two years ago he thought it “unlikely” that he would re-sign with the Eagles.'

I could be wrong, but to me it also has the underlying tone that he also knows exactly where he wants to play, and has been thinking about it for a while.

At the MCG with the Demons.

Let's hope!

Of course if Chris Judd does come to Melbourne FC then he must play at least 7 games with Sandy to get match fit!!!

Then I woke up....great dream....anda polished helmet and all!

Juddys been thinking about this move since the start of the year imo, he has also said that he wants to go to the club that he feels has a chance to be sucessful in the future. Bails has to show him with our crop of upcomiing youngsters that the future at melbourne is bright, that coinciding with the fact he used to barrack for us may just be enough.

I have been dreaming of Judd playing for us for the last 4 years! Now it may finally happen.....

But....

I have a conspiracy theory!

Here goes....

The deal for Judd has been done for awhile now....

Carlton copped it hard in the media for tanking in order to get picks 1 & 3....

There was a great reason for doing this!

Carlton have been secretly dealing with WCE, who in-turn have been secretly dealing with Judd....

Carlton will trade either Andrew Walker or Kade Simpson....

Plus Pick 3....

In return, Judd will be their Captain in 2008....

West Coast have just been cheeky by playing him when he is not 100% so he has a chance of starting pre-season a bit late....

God I hope I am wrong!!

[Yze_Magic 3]

I am happy to say KrazyJay, that you are completely wrong

Judd has never spoken to Carlton, and they are the last club he would go to

[Springfield Isotopes 0]

If we do get Judd imagine how much better mclean and trapper will be without copping the oppositions best tagger

Many seem fast and loose with "inside' knowledge..or the good mail...

Im going to suggest that for the most part no one KNOWS JACK !!! unless you are inside the mind ( John Malkovich style ) of Chris Judd or a fly on the wall of his manager.

What we say is by the by mostly speculation and extrapolation.. So can I ask that if anyone has any REAL knowledge..or purports to have it...that they back it up !!! otherwise its all sh!t !!!!

haha good one belzebub

just heard off my mate...its devastating if its true...he's working at the age, internship and they reckon its out of two clubs - us and carlton- thats not the devastating part

the devastating part is that the proposed trade is davey and our number 4 pick, or jones and our number 4 pick

[Yze_Magic 3]

Channel 7 just had a news update

Dylan Howard , standing out the front of the MCG, confirmed that Collingwood and Carlton are the favorites

Haha, Dylan you are a [censored] just like your mate Hutchy

YM....

"R - J.White C.Judd B.McLean"

This is giving me a right royal boner as we speak!!

[beelzebub 22,689]

haha good one belzebub

just heard off my mate...

read those words...there's a term for it...its called supposition !!.. Probably related to Chinese Whispers !!! lol..

these same sources had Voss at Carlton, Sheedy at Melbourne, Bomber is apparently a done deal at Windy Hill etc etc etc

heard of f a mate.. who spoke to this bloke...who knows the horse that ran second to this other blokes horse who lives next door to the sister of some guy who drinks with some num nut who details the car of the neighbour to Connors !!! Hell it dont rightly get more gospel than that huh !! lol :-)

As much as i love Jones, i would rather Judd.

[Red and Blue Flame 142]

belzebub mate...its just gossip for everyone, but those [censored] rumours are crap...this is genuine that we've prepared a pitch for judd

[beelzebub 22,689]

im sure we have

Can't trade Jones, he signed a new contract just a few days ago (thankfully!!).

Davey + pick 4 = MASSIVE WIN FOR THE MFC

Hence why it would never happen

I hope we're one of the front runners, but it's a dream to think that we'll only have to give up Davey and one pick to get Judd.

Again, Judd has to categorically say that it's Melbourne, or he's walking for nothing... otherwise, we can't screw West Coast this much!

I will not even contemplate the thought of Judd ever wearing a Melbourne jumper, not until he has signed and I see him at pre-season training.

[beelzebub 22,689]

logically it would be out of two clubs has to be a club with early pick and some cattle .. Only two fit the bill

[beelzebub 22,689]

which ever club gets Judd will probably get a good deal out of it.. WCE all but has to accept anything halfway reasonable as a trade..or forfeit it all.

edit

But Judd will be making the call.. and only him.

[diesel 420]

the guys on AW are saying Collingwood first choice then Carlton then us, drayne pussell said he won't go to us because we aren't a bigger enough franchise

Again this is just opinions. Chris Judd doesn't need to go to a 'franchise'. He is the 'franchise'. Teams will want or need Chris Judd not vice versa. we all play football funnily enough.

At Collingwood he would be fourth fiddle to figjam, Eddie and that attention seeker in the gold jacket.

At Carltank he would be the only fiddle.

At Melbourne he would be the prmier for a perennially underperforming team in desperate need of direction and purpose.

As a supporter of Bolton Wanderers in the EPL we have a saying that we never believe a player is at the club until 3 things have been fufilled

P.S.G.

pretty close to saying it all really !! well in the context of all this anyhows !!

and the context is what the game /media/ et al is making him to be. ( beyond his actual talent ) His stocks are super-valued precisely because as alluded to above, he IS the franchise.
