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.

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!

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.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
