Im amazed at reading everyones opinions that we're not a chance of landing Judd. Why? Dick Pratt has pretty much given up hope. Nothing has been said about Essendon, and what has Collingwood got to give apart from Cloke,Thomas or Pendlebury?

Rusling, Reid and Pick 14.

They could trade Reid for a top 10 pick easily IMO.

WC said they wanted two first round draft picks:

BETTING on which club Chris Judd will play for next season has been suspended after an avalanche of money for Melbourne with Darwin Sportsbet.

"The Demons were backed from $9 into $3.50 then into $2 by Saturday so we've shut it down. The money suggests it's a done deal," Hannah said.

For what it is worth - I still think we are in the mix. All the rumours going around are just that, rumours. For every positive one about Melbourne, there is a positive one about Collingwood so I guess they all just negate each other.

We have to remember one very important thing, at the end of the day it is still up to West Coast and not Chris Judd. Even if he nominates us, it is not a done deal until the Eagles say so.

Don't give up yet - I am still having visions of Judd/Jonesy/Brock carving up the centre of the G in '08 and beyond! Am I the only one still daring to dream?

Because we were definite outsiders before we met Judd and Collingwood were his initial preference. That's why Sheehan, Smith, etc are sticking to the Judd to Collingwood line. His manager didn't directly say it but it wasn't refuted that Judd favoured the Pies.

Now a lot has happened since then and we impressed during our meetings, particularly Bailey, but was it enough ?

Collingwood are rightly favourites.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
