he's done himself no good

[Guest unstable punt]

He doesn't claim to be bigger than any club and when he rules teams out everyone is going to want to know and ask him "why?" What's wrong with a bit of honesty? Melbourne have extremely ordinary facilities and if that's one of the reasons why he didn't choose the Dees then he can say it. And if it's so bleedingly obvious that the facilities are crap like you're all saying then why do you care? He's just stating the obvious. Are Port Adelaide supporters going to hate any media person from now and for ever because they said they were terrible on Saturday?

It always has been easy to get a laugh by coming on and reading some of the dribble on this forum.

I suggest you quietly slither away!

now you're starting to pee me off.

pull your head out of your bias.

if the excuse HE provided is true (facilities), then he knew this BEFORE he nominated us.

therefore the question to ask is 'why did he nominate us?'

his motives seem dodgy or clumsy.

both are worthy of criticism.

buggered if i know where your allegiances lay

Melbournes facilites etc are well known.. very Public knowledge ( bordering on ridicule ) . If this was a deal breaker.. hy evenput us on short list.. Clearly something doesnt jell. I sincerly thought he was of good character & moral fibre.. Bloody hell Bub...you've fcuked up again !!!

To be fair, chris judd never came out and said it was our facilities, it was a media release by the club, and a fairly crap one, that made us look like the biggest bunch of faeries ever, talking about how flattering it was that we were in the mix. With all this talk of the facilities excuse being BS it would be in judd's best interest for him or his manager to come out and say that it was BS and because if that was true then he seriously did just drag us along. judd definitely could have gone about this whole thing better, but it isnt all his fault with the whole media circus that seems to be following him, alot of players go around and see and talk to different clubs, its just that it isnt given this much coverage.

From what we mainly gather here it is a Statement reflecting what was sent to us ( MFC ). There is no point in lying or misrepresenting it as it would only be refuted.

The words.."to be fair " and Chris Judd " need to be very carefully used when occupying the same sentence !! <_<

haha, point taken, ill be sure not to make the mistake again in future

true, it just beggars belief that would be the reason though but yeh i suppose we just have to take it on face value. Either judd or his manager are idiots if that was a reason given because that just doesnt add up.

To be fair, chris judd never came out and said it was our facilities, it was a media release by the club,

so you would rather believe judds manager, as told thru dwane dibbley, than the club.

if you want to give the benefit of the doubt to anyone, why not give it to the club?

[beelzebub 23,313]

Well its certainly not over by a long shot.. the West is about to all but declare war on Filthville. Ought to make an interesting spectactor occasion !! :D

Before hearing about all the Dwyane Russel stuff, at the time when I read the statement when it first came out it just didnt make any sense to me that that would be a reason in him not choosing us and at the same time keeping carlton in the mix. if it was for more money at carlton or exposure at collingwood thats his choice but saying that facilities were factor just smelled to me at of BS and trying to paint it like it was just the facilites that ruled us out. As i said earlier, if that was the reason given then he or his manager are defintely morons of the highest orders.

Most definitely, I can only see this getting nasty and should at least make the trade period interesting.

The "OX" is an absolute idiot. He has no idea about the game.

Started well there. I'll value OX's opinion over yours, thanks anyway.

And i cannot believe what all you people are starting to say - unbelievable. Because he made a decision that doesn't sit right with you wankers he's a hated man.

What would we say after being stooged into a carefully orchestrated sideshow, "Thanks for considering us Chris, your a champ, good luck at Collingwood". Are you Steve Harris' copy writer?

He's a victim of his own high-profile and talent. He cant play for everyone. He has made his decision so deal with it.

Hardly a victim of anything. He is having his ego stroked more aggressively than any player in the history of the game!

Why did he have to chose Melbourne? Because if he did there is no doubt all of you would be so far up his arse saying "what a champ" and "he's my hero". Absolute Tossers!

Don't need to tell you about the possibility that he could have contributed to lifting a club from mediocrity and obscurity that could have been the icing on his career and even won back WC supporters. Those actions would certainly be worthy of those sorts of accolades. It will never be like that if he goes to Collingwood, surely you are smart enough to work out the difference and the meaning of it to MFC supporters (you are one aren't you?)
