The West newspaper this morning reported on the back page a radical plan to keep Judd with the Eagles. West Coast are considering a plan where Judd would live in Melbourne during the week and fly in and fly out from Perth for Eagles home games. Couldn't see it happening could you? Imagine Juddy saying to Eddie "I don't want to PLAY for Collingwood, but is it OK if I TRAIN with the Magpies?" No, I still have hopes of him pulling on a Demons jumper.

The WCE CEO has said it's a last resort.

I'd be very surprised to see it happen.

Yeah, its an absurd suggestion.

I don't think Judd would do that but it's only a matter of time before other players' and teams resort to that. They do it in the US (NBA, MLB, NFL etc.) because of the frequency of trades and player movements; players normally base themselves in the city they were drafted too and if they move around, depending on whether or not it's on the same coast, they fly in and our for home games and certain practices. I remember hearing Steve Francis doing it when he was traded from Houston to Orlando.
