Heard Dwayne say that he spoke to Judds Manager to touch base about a number of issues:

Judds decision had nothing to do with facilities and that he was super impressed with the Demons presentation.

Judd is devestated with Mainy's death and will not be speaking for a couple of days. If he was speaking he would have spoken about the facilities issue being false.

:unsure:

I've also heard that Judd was super unimpressed with the rumours that were traveling around, and the betting plunges on Melbourne suggesting a leak...

If thats the case, and he changed his mind - he can get stuffed.

Its just ridiculous. He has made a conceited effort to bignote himself during this whole process, and clearly, it seems, just tried to increase his value.

His manager is right - it had nothing to do with facilities. The only reason he ever spoke to Melbourne was to increase his value.

If that's true, than he truly deserves to end up at Richmond and suffer for the rest of his career.

He was unimpressed with the rumours? What about the early money on Carlton and Collingwood? The leaks coming from every club? We are hardly alone in this!

Seriously, the more we hear about this, the more resentful I become.

How about he just names a club and shuts the hell up and plays football. This is becoming an absolute farce. Nobody cares anymore Judd, just make a friggin choice, announce it, and move on!!!

I also heard Russell and he appeared to be speaking on behalf of Judds' management in denying the facilities were an issue. Well is the MFC CEO a liar then? What is the real reason behind Judds choice which I now believe was made long ago.

Exactly, why would harris make a statement that Judd is not coming to our club when there had been no contact from Judds management?

There has certainly been contact, but I'd suggest the reasons are being disputed.

Indeed. Sounds like somebody's trying to save his credibility.

There is every chance that the facilities are not he true reason behind Judd's decision not to come to Melbourne, but that is probably what he told the club.

I've no doubt that he wanted Collingwood all along. Why he took us along for the ride, I don't know.

Using the facilities excuse is weak. He should own up and tell us all why he chose Collingwood or Carlton...

What if, as Mick suggested, he's been that close to signing with us, and then, because of all the leaks and such, he's changed his mind? It would certainly corroborate what pundits like BT and Hutchie have said about it being as good as done on Friday afternoon. Then, the facilities story is something that somebody came up with to save face?

Absolutely correct Jaded, who does he think he is? giving everybody the word that he is coming over for family and not the money, what a crock of crap. He's picked between Carlton and the Filth because they have deeper pockets in order to get a bidding war going.

I don't wish ill on many people but I bloody hope his groin is stuffed.

Everybody knows Melbourne training facilities are crap, have been for years. If he had know intention to play at our club why waste everybodies time and angst. He abviously has no honour nor integrity and is not fit to play for Melbourne!!

How precious is he, that he changes his mind over a few leaked stories?

Lets not be so naive. He never wanted our club. I think Mick is right, he named us to bump up his price, knowing we have an early pick and that we were desperate to gain his services.

Why would you change your mind due to a leak? Who was to say it was not a family friend that leaked it? I'm sure Judd did not tell the MFC on friday that he would sign with them on monday, i think this leak story is utter crap.

I certainly hope not. That reason is probably worse than his facilities story anyway.

If you have a look, Judd or his management are never quoted as saying anything about our poor facilities, it all came out of Harris' mouth, this is all very frustrating, who knows, this may be a smokescreen to stop the hype and we're all being sucked in, we shall find out next week...

I heard about four rumours - and three of the four involved a family member or people who had had contact with Judd's family members telling them he was as good as signed with Melbourne. The only leak I heard that was supposed to have come from the Dees was on this board by a guy who said he knew a guy who worked on and off for them.

The rest was all just trade speculation on the radio.

If he didnt like the rumours and speculation he could have been a man and simply been honest about his intentions or named his destination earlier. Does he think that the only emotions involved in his whole thing were his own? What a guy... FIGJAM mark II if that is the case.

After all this is said and done, why would Harris lie? To save face? I really dont think there was any need to. Id heard already from Caroline that he had said that the facilities were a problem.

Its all a joke and at the end of the day who ever gets him now is gonna look stupid after all this - its a new level of shizen

im just going to wait to it all becomes official

this is doing my head in

Don't expect us to get an official line mate. Doubt we'll get another mention now, unless one of the journos at the Age or Hun know something, in which case it might make tomorrow's paper.

When he joins Collingwood it will be 'It's every boys dream to play for a big club like Collingwood'. I wish I hadn't said that now. If he says that I'll be sick. Then filled with murderous rage.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
