    Yeah, Judd met the McPies yesterday. I heard a grab from him on Nova this morning saying 'I've met all of the clubs and will make a decision in the next couple of days'.

    Just to put into perspective the profile and significance of Judd's move home, I was reading the Daily Telegraph (Sydneys version of the Hun?), and between rugby stories, even they were speculating that Rebecca Twigley had a gig lined up with 7 as the weather girl, and this may have something to do with Judd's choice of club!

    I found myself watching the pre-Brownlow red carpet special and wondering whether Twigley's spot on the show was organised well in advance or, whether that was organised relatively quickly (post Melbourne-Judd meeting). I'm starting to sound like one of the Lone Gunman from X-Files!

    Decided a long time ago, she was a minor celebrity, good for a cameo. She is already a weather girl in Perth for Channel 7 but I imagine if we were trying to get her a job she would host her own lifestyle show.

    I must say, I was shocked by how she faired in front of the camera. My girlfriend and Mother were both standing there saying o this will suck. But to all of our pleasant surprise Twigleys is actually a very strong TV persona, and I believe she doesn't need a hand out.

    Thanks for confirming. Another conspiracy debunked!

    Yeah, she did quite well, very polished.

    Also read that she's completing her qualification in speech pathology, and she will spend a couple of months longer in WA completing this before she joins Chris in Melbourne.

    I agree, i was very surprised how well she presented and has a lovely voice for tv too.

    I think he will announce it after the GF.

    Heard a rumour that Twigley has signed a contract with Channel 7. Can anyone verify this?

    Some bloke over at 'ology reckons we're home and hosed. Says he knows Judd's Grandmother. *Grain of salt taken*

    There's another story going around that he made a promise to his dying grandmother that he'd play for us.

    More "grains of salt"?

    From what I can tell after the Brownlow rumours etc, he will be choosing Collingwood.

    We have to hope we're his second pick and the 'pies can't get a trade.

    The "Brownlow rumours" I suspect are just the industry rumours, which have had him at Collingwood for a week.

    C#$@! were his initial preference, hence the rumours.

    Something I find absolutely fascinating is judging by comments amongst weagles fans you'd reckon we didint even exist !! Hardly any mention AT ALL about Judd coming to us !!...Some see it as more probable apparently that he may even end up with the Toiges !!...all quite laughable really :wacko:

    Tigers can lead Judd circus to big stage

  • Quote

    Miller scoffed at suggestions from other clubs and Judd's management that the Tigers could be the wild-card of trade week.

    "I spoke to Paul Connors last week to get some feeling for the situation, but I haven't spoken to him since," he said.

    "Even if things fall over with the other clubs, we could still knock back Judd. The Nick Stevens situation was a rarity and the other clubs will work it out."

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
