On 3AW Caro strongly believes Judd is already at Collingwood but ...

Collingwood can't fit him in under the salary cap or they would have to trade the likes of Thomas and Pendlebury, which I can't see them doing!

    i know its hard...but i think people should just wait for Judd to announce which club he picks.

    its getting abit rediculous people guestimating which club he's already supposedly chosen.

    hell prob announce it in the next few days...patience!

    Her whole premise is based upon "I can't see Colligwood letting him go to another club" and Dwayne's "what Eddie wants he gets". They have no basis of fact. Their arguments are tenuous at best.

    Although she did say it's Collingwood with the Dees as the smokey. And later on "Melbourne are the red herring".

    Also "How did Stride Management not agree to interview Dean Bailey after his phone call?" This was in reference to the Essendon coaching job.

    Caroline Wilson is solid evidence that there is no place for women in football

    To think she is the chief sports writer for one of the biggest papers in Australia is absolutely sickening

    That is hilarious - but best I stop ready the footy forums and get back to the kitchen.

    Caros' comments were prefaced with "I think". In that regard she is no different to anyone here thinking (hoping) Judd will come to the Dees. Of course my thoughts are based on a desire to see Juddy in Red & Blue, not Carolines perception of the attractivness of the Lexus Ed(die)fice and McChins sales pitch.

    Caroline Wilson's mail is usually pretty much spot on and she gets things right more often than some of her fellow journos of the male persuasion.

    I'd take Caro over Patrick Smith any day of the week.

    Her premise was she read between the lines that Judd wants to play at the MCG and play in the 'big games'. To her that meant it could only be the filth.

  • Quote

    You have to remember that journalists bring their own unique preconceptions and bias to the table when they express their opinions - just like supporters. It'd be easier for a Jim Wilson (Carlton) to accept that Judd would want to go to Collingwood rather than Melbourne, or for Caro (Richmond) the same... it'd simply be inconceivable for someone like Grybas (Collingwood) to believe anything else. If Judd chooses Melbourne... it means they all have to go away and not only have to try and rationalise it (gee there won't be a story that doesn't mention he barracked for us as a kid) and admit that maybe that their preconceptions may have been wrong.

    thats a bit harsh, we're just trying to tell ourselves that judd is coming home. if thats ur opinion why are u reading all of the posts about judd..."paitence!!"

  • Quote

    I've listened to Caro on Footy Classified and on 3AW over the past few weeks, and she has been pretty forthright in saying she really doesn't know where he will go, and has continually said she thinks this and that.......nothing concrete.

    She can't just sit there as a reporter and say nothing, but like many others in the media, can make a case for Judd going to the Pies.

    I like Caro, and think she is one of the better footy journos going around, but it's pretty safe to say this whole Judd story has her stumped like the rest of them at the minute!

  • Quote

    seemed to remember recently Caro was pretty damn sure Connolly would never come to Melbourne..

    spot on.........................NOT !! :)

  • Quote

    Maybe thats why Clement retired so they can squeeze Judd in the salary cap. I thought he would have played another year even though he had a few injuries, he is worth more on the field than Bucks

  • Quote

    ive wondered elsewhere, but Clement going creates more problems for Collingwood for mine.. Some may think it opens the coffers more, but that was never going to be a problem for Collingwood.. Now they have positional priorities coming into play they'd rather not have right now... well thats my thinking :)

  • Quote

    maybe this is just me.. but everyone in the press etc are all thinking the "logical' approach to all this. he oughta go here because...or he might go there because of this and that; and to me nothing about this is straightforward in that respect other than he wants to play in Melbourne mainly at the G.

    I think this is an excellent point. People will never say he's going to Melbourne because they simply cannot comprehend what appeals about us. Richmond, Melbourne and Carlton are all at about the same place right now, and Richmond and Carlton supporters will simply refuse to see what is better about us than about them. Same with the media. They cannot see what the appeal is about Melbourne. On top of that we have strongly opinionated numpties like Drain Russell talking us out of it.

    People quickly forget we were the best Vic Club last season and would have been close to it again if it wasn't for injurys. We are the most underrated team in the comp. If we had a superstar in our team they would talk about us. Hearing about StKilda all the time shits me seens they are the most overrated team in the comp for the simple fact they have Nick Riewoldt. Because he is a superstar they expect special things to happen

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
