Ok. What Hutchie said is this:

Judd to Melb for picks 3, 9 and 21.

Pick 9 we will get for Frawley to St Kilda.

Now, not saying it's true. Simply saying that, as a matter of absolute fact, that is the word from Hutchie.

He said we want to get it done early in trade week.

Did you hear this yourself mate?

I am 95% sure that Judd had returned to Melbourne today for his first meeting with Connors in the past week, most likely to discuss the future and decisions.

a reliable friend of mine's dad is going to the grand final with Judds aunty. She says melbourne is his choice. more food for thought.

A guy who makes the coffee in a cafe where Judd once visited, told his paperboy, who told his teacher, who never tells fibs, that she had passed on to my accountant's son's mate who drives a cortina, that Judd is coming to the Dees.

This whole ordeal has in my opinion been another cross against the reputation of the sporting media. I hope they feel embarrassed when Melbourne sign Chris Judd. If some of them are still shaking their heads and ondering 'why?' then perhaps they should be looking for new modes of employment next year. Throughout the process, they've led the public down the garden path with their ill-considered and narrow-minded opinions. I'll lump them all together because the general vibe ebbed from one group idea to the next, but most of them generally made a couple of key mistakes when assessing the situation:

1. Failing to consider both sides of the trading equation: At first it was "Judd to Carlton!" Who could forget the sickening superimposed picture of Judd in a Carlton guernsey in the Hun? Simply because Carlton had the highest picks, this didn't mean that Chris Judd would want to play for them. He had to nominate them as a team to West Coast for any deal to be done. In the end, Carlton weren't prepared to match Melbourne's offer by the sounds of things anyway. Likewise, the next favour of the month was Collingwood. Notoriously shonky dealers in trade week, I don't think it was ever a fait accompli that Judd would have gone to Collingwood even if he had nominated them alone. The PSD would have been a real option. They failed to see that Melbourne could satisfy both criteria: being attractive to Judd, and having something to offer West Coast. Realistically, none of the other clubs could satisfy both.

2. I think the biggest mistake the media and the non-Melbourne supporting public made was to underestimate the Demons. I think the fact that Judd barracked for the Demons as a child and his family are still Melbourne fans had to mean something. What kind of self-respecting Melbourne fan could play for Collingwood by choice anyway? But more so, I think we are selling ourselves short if we think the only reason he has chosen Melbourne is because of his childhood yearning to pull on the red and blue. We hear people bemoaning our facilities - they'll be fixed in a year. People questioned our list - the best Victorian team last year, and completely ravaged by injury in 2007. I'm sick of hearing people moan "Why would he go to Melbourne?" Do some research into Judd's criteria and you'll find out.

I'm thinking once Judd is in the fold, Melbourne won't be quite the same irrelevant sideshow that media spanners choose to neglect in future.

Now THAT, my friends, is one excellent post

A week ago some Geelong bugger I was chatting with laughed at me and treated me like I was an imbecile or a lunatic for even suggesting we were a chance of getting him - even though the facts of the matter clearly had us in at least the top5 chances and at least 15-20% chance. We need this one BAD.

Ha ha funny, sad thing is i think these are the sources people are talking about!

Chris Judd was just asked on the MVP awards by Jusin Dunstall if he was aware of the rumour of him joing the Dees.

Judd said he had not made a decision yet on which club ????....

Juddy was hobling on the stage and was asked on how the operation went and mentioned that the Docotors reckon he shouldn't lose any speed, but Judd said 'by the way i'm feeling now.. i doubt it' !

Said he should be running in about 8 weeks time.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
