so what are your thoughts? i want your true thoughts, not wishes.

me i think 10-20% i just don't see us getting him as nothing good ever goes our way

We are imo far....far higher than 10-20% condemned.

60-70 IMO, unless we completely drop the ball in our interview, or someone else blows him away, he is ours.

I refuse to get my hopes up, i use to it being a Bolton Wanderers fan, we have a little saying there, its P.S.G.

Pie, [censored], Grin

Until they have eaten a pie in Bolton, Sh1tted out that pie in Bolton and are standing on the pitch holding the jumper i will doubt it all!

50-50 I reckon

Totally agree.

You've got to wonder; Why would Chris Judd be interested in MFC at all, unless he was really interested in us? We are obscure to the rest of the football world. We are not a club who gets in on every little drama, ala Collingwood and Essendon. We are an organisation that modestly goes about it's own business. So then why would he have us in his top 4? The more you think about that, the more you realise we are not in this simply to make up the numbers. This boy already has us in mind, if you ask me, and is merely going through the motions with the interviews.

As Coxy said, it would take a [censored] up of catastrophic proportions by us, or an absolutely sublime presentation by another club, in order to change Judd's mind.

Juddy, you'll do me mate.

We have nothing to offer to a champion.

We accept mediocrity.

Our list is nothing to flash.

Financially we will always be just there

Our chances of securing Judd 10% ....my opinion he is going to Carlton

well if he is like any of us mad dees supporters(much like himself as a little kid) wasnt our childhood dream to play for MFC

sad to say but true, 10-20% M.F.C will be satisfied that they gave it there "best shot'' but couldnt quite land the big prize. same old , same old!!!

I would love Judd in the Red and Blue (provided we don't have to sell the farm to get him) but I really do think we will struggle to get him.

We are the sentimental option for him, but I think that is about it....we don't have much else to offer him above the other clubs.

He is a professional athlete. He is coming from a club where each home game he has 45,000 fanatical fans cheering his every move on the field. He is used to state of the art training facilities, and more dedicated footy dept staff than he could poke a stick at! He is used to a team / club that demands success, and achieves it.

After enjoying the best of the best with the Eagles, why would he want to come to the MFC and "rough it" for the next few years while we get our act together and get a home?

Judd is a clear thinking bloke........his considered move back to Melbourne proves this.

To expect him to make so many concessions to come to the MFC based on a supposed sentimentality isn't rational, and also isn't likely.

If I was Judd, I would rank my options 1. Collingwood, 2.Bombers.3.Demons,4. Blues.

I think his preference would be to go the Pies, and as a professional athlete with a limited time in the game, and selecting his last club for his career, I couldn't blame him. I'd take the best option - facilities, supporters, profile, recent success, and plenty of games at the MCG with hardly any interstate travel !!!!!!

I hope I'm wrong, but my crystal ball shows Juddy at the Pies in a few weeks time!

I nominated 0-10% chance.

50-50 shot at getting him is my thoughts

100%

If you think he is going anywhere besides the MFC, you should stop believeing the media

I knew you would be the 100% voter

50-60 ( really 50/50 )

With a little luck as the song goes we might snag him.

He says he has no preferences ( at moment ) out of the four ... I take this in the same way that he really didnt think he made up his mind to come home til the last few months..!! Who ya kidding Juddy ?? lol.. You made up your mind 2 years ago.. just took a while to settle in your mind so as to rationalise it. The heart was already swayed.

Maybe too he holds a torch for good ol Melbourne, but needs to rationalise it to himslef, so wil go though all the gobbledy [censored] until he's comfortable wearing that red and blue #3

It all just comes down to where he wants to be. I think his heart has already decided, just need his head to follow !!

30%

It would be seen as a good marketing ploy to add the demons to the the bigger clubs for a trade, if you looked at it as a purely business decision.

You would then drop them off as the second place to the media.

All spin.

We will probably come last. But be shown as the "close runner up".

20%

30%

Yep, same as Collingwood and Carlton, with a 10% chance he'll go somewhere else.

20%-30%

for god sake

i am sick and tired of reading people saying that judd will not sign because we are not a huge club in terms of success. That is bull. We have has one bad year and we are now in a rebuilding process so it is exciting times at our club. We should get Judd if Gary Lyon has his say in the matter. If we can offer him and West Coast something i would think he would sign. I would offer Travis Johnstone and Chris Johnson, or Travis Johnstone and pick 20. I seriuosly believe that Travis has got a big head and a change of club is needed for him to get the best out of his career.

70% - 80%

He wouldn't even be put in the midfield if he was traded to W.C. No way does TJ have the work rate or class or speed to keep up with Kerr and Cousins, they would make him look second rate and would keep getting injured trying to keep up, I think TJ would cringe at going west and would rather stay at M.F.C where he is wrapped in cotton wool

Your probably and i hope are right, he's an honorable bloke and as you said just needs to rationalise the decision to himself
