Forget the Facilities... The real reason Judd didn't choose the Dees

Apparently the real reason Judd didn't choose Melbourne was his belief that we had the worst playing list and could not see us making the finals in the near future.

Let's hope we prove him wrong. I think it is a massive insult on the club and my gut tells me this is also crap as he was chasing the loot.

    Yeah, Judd wanted an ELITE playing list, so he joined Carlton!

    Don't believe everything you read on Bigfooty. Especially from Carlton supporters.

    he joined for cash simple as that! He is lost a lot of respect from this decision! i would have hated if he went to collingwood but could understand it!

    WHat are the blues going to do in 3-4 years time with there salary cap. princess chris will not take a pay cut i would think, then he might burn another club!

    Oh Chris.

    You will be booed so much in future. Hope that money is worth it..... Guees he has to pay Twigley some how.

    While I am as shattered as everyone else that he didn't choose us, I can see why he chose Carlton. Obviously a big factor for him was the money, which is disappointing considering we all thought he was a big enough man to see past that. However the list Carlton is developing is showing some potential. I expect to see them play finals within 2 years.

    I think the real reason would have to be the issues that westcoast were going to have with the pies. They dont like trading with each other and the Pies refused to give away anything special like didak, thomas or pendy. So I can assume that Judd saw that the pies (his real choice) was going to be impossible and bit the bullet with a choice of Carlton, who can give him what ever he wants.

    If Carlton trade Fevola to get him, then they will have the worst playing list in the history of the AFL discounting Judd.

    Who would they have?

    Carrazzo, Waites ok, Simpson can do a bit, Scotland gets easy Bowden possessions... oh and how could I forget their superstar Lance Whitnall.

    D'you think we were ever really a chance, or did he just pretend to be interested in us to make it look as though he wasn't a cash-chasing pig? Perhaps he had NO intention of coming to us or the bombers and thought, "Hey, people won't hate me so much if I at least appear interested."

    Can't wait to see Brock and Jonesy tear him a new one next year. Oh and good luck with the groin juddy.....

    Not.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
