I've been crying since 9am yesterday morning.

I figure by the time he makes his announcement I would have moved on.

You obviously have a source that you believe wholeheartedly, but there are a few other people with sources who say he is coming to Melbourne.

Someone is mistaken. 50% chance your source is the one who has it wrong.

And yes, tears will flow.

If he goes to the Filth, my emotions will go from sadness for awhile, then to anger as I realise a passionate melbourne supporter growing up has nominated to play for the filth. *shudders*, makes me sick just thinking about it...

Exactly, I'd be stoked if my source was wrong but sadly I'm not so sure it is.

I just hope Judd is prepared to be the most hated man in football.

Things may have changed since yesterday morning.

For example, Judd may have spoken to West Coast and realised that getting to Melbourne is far more realistic than playing for the Pies. He might actually care about finding a solution that helps best compensate West Coast.

Then again, I might be clutching at straws and he really is going to Collingwood.

Put it this way, I'd be VERY surprised if he chooses Melbourne. Collingwood is a far more obvious choice.

Mate by all rights Melbourne shouldn't even be in the running - the fact that it is and the fact that its the persistent rumour despite the Sheehan logic that usually proves right gives me heart. Ive heard it from a few sources, one which I respect. And he reckons he heard it practically from the horse's mouth.

If he goes to COllingwood he'll just be part of the COllingwood machine with eddie dribbling all over him all day long - even with all the facilities in the world dont rate Collingwood's premiership chances on one season alone - a lot of good teams just under performed this year for mine...

If its not true why are there so many rumours - If I was Judd Id get on the net and check which group of fans wants him the most. The last post on one Collingwood forum about Judd was posted at 6pm!

meanwhile Im having anxiety attacks similar to those the moment Green went down on that fateful day in 2000...

I've attended several functions during grand final week and all oil indicates to me that Collingwood have all the appeal. Started with Robbo, Tim Lane and Wallet, the general thoughts of that conversation were that Judd was impressed with the facilities, the medical staff and the funding to the footy department in general.

I've also had conversations with John Barnes who was clear that he felt Essendon were not a chance in hell. Apparently the meeting wasn't overly impressive and they didn't get a good vibe from Judd once it was completed. John Barnes is still surprisingly very well connected at Essendon.

There are a few others and 1 in particular that I had yesterday morning that I would almost put my left nut on.

It ruined my day at 9am and I drank like a fish for the remainder of the day and boy... am I paying for it now.

I'm not doubting you for a minute.

You have no reason to report anti-Melbourne rumours given that you are a Melbourne supporter.

My point is, that just as you've heard from a 'reliable source' that Judd is going to Collingwood, others have heard from 'reliable sources' that Judd is coming to Melbourne.

I wouldn't worry about Robbo, Lane or Wallet, they are all speculating just as we are. What do you make of BT's claims that he is ready to sign with Melbourne? Carries about as much weight as what the other 3 journos had to say.

Here's hoping that this time tomorrow you'll have a new reason to drink, and this time, in celebration instead of agony!

Most won't understand, but if he doesn't come to the Dees I hope he goes to Collingwood. At least I'll understand. I won't understand if he picks the Blues over us.

Posted
If he goes to Collingwood do you reckon it will go down well?

Of course it wouldn't.

But if he did go to Collingwood he would have:

-better training and medical facilities.

-more of a chance of playing finals.

-more games on the MCG

than Carlton can dream of. That's why if he chooses the Pies over us it would make more sense than if he chose the Blues over us.

I think I've come to the realisation that we are stuffed tonight. Too many people who are certain we are done for, and those who are 'certain' we aren't done for sound hopeful, rather than genuinely confident. There will be no tears when we are officially stuffed tomorrow, but it's going to hurt like hell reading that it's over. I think I shall be in quite a sombre mood tomorrow afternoon.

I love my club, and this would have been a turning point in our severely bad fortunes.

Damn you Chris Judd. Damn you.

I agree with you Diablo... Too many people very confident Melbourne will be missing out, no real evidence to the contrary.

We will have to wait and see - but it will hurt.

The people I know that have put coin on, don't have much. That gives me confidence in their belief and sources. Chris Judd will be a Demon next year. I just fear we are going to have to give up too much.

I've of the opinion that BT knows but due to his close ties with Collingwood and Eddie he has been ordered to silence. As I mentioned the mail I was given Saturday suggested Judd made his decision Friday and Collingwood had suggested they wait until Monday out of respect for the celebrations of Len Thompson's life.

BT is and always has been a tool but he generally is a well informed tool when it comes to Collingwood.

No tears here. It'll be disappointing but understandable if he chooses Collingwood.

If he chooses Carlton then life will lose all meaning.

    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.
