I do seem to remember some comment of his that he just wanted to knuckle down and be regular player with input, that he didnt want the captaincy. yeah right !!

Well Carlton have bought their bed lets watch them lay in it ( or is that lie in it ? lol )

So many eggs...just one basket!!

    Judd has said a lot of things and well, not many people are listening except the corrupts from princes park!!

    good luck to him - keeping fevola under control will require a tazer!!

    Pretty sad state of affairs at their club if a first year recruit can walk straight into the captaincy. Speaks volumes about what they think of their home grown 'leaders'.

    First thing Carroll should do against Blues ...sidele up next to Fev " Not good enough huh !! " :)

    Its a bit of a bet really for the Bluebaggers.. could come terribly unstuck for them if Judd turns to Dudd and is sitting on the sidelines.

    Id be dark though if I were Stevens. bet Nick isnt listening to any Eagles' songs right now!!

    there's a new kid......... lmao

    Pfft, typical money bags, probably didn't want the gig and pratt just chucked him another big bag of cash for him to take it up...

    If somebody was to say that captaincy was in the contract, then I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. Judd is a natural born leader and he will do everything by example, as well as market their club brilliantly.

    Calrton aren't a bad side, as they did pretty well towards the end of last year. The only thing stopping them was that they weren't allowed to win a game! They will make the finals this year and win a premiership within the next 5 years.

    shows you a lot about the quality of the carlton list when the captain and vice captain have both come from other clubs...

    they have tried to buy a team. i can't really remember another club for who it has been successful (in recent history), so it will be interesting to see how they go.

    Carlton have a history over the past 40 years of buying premierships. It has happened before and it will happen in the future.

    Buying Premierships is all they know!

    It's just taken them a bit longer to figure out how to do it AROUND the salary cap.

    We however shouldn't throw stones in glass houses!

    If Judd wasn't the sort of person who would sell his first born child for $50 and came to the club he supported as a kid, we would also have instilled him as captain.

    If not this year; definitely next.

    The man is a premiership captain FFS.

    Fevola thinking he might get the gig is simply proof that having a good football brain doesn't always equal having a brain. The man is a moron.

    Carroll should just plead with Fev to not tear him a new areshole....again.

    Bit silly to call Judd overrated, but it'll be interesting to see how this pans out for Carlton. Agree that guys like Stevens would probably, quite rightly, be upset by this even if they dont go public about it. Its the sort of thing that could either work brilliantly or backfire, causing alot of animosity amongst senior players who've paid their dues and stuck around through a pretty miserable period in the clubs history only to be stepped over.

    I wouldnt be overly worried about Judd's fitness if I was a Carlton supporter. I think most of the noise going around at the moment is just that, and that even if there is some truth to it, it doesnt really matter if he takes most of the year to get back to full flight since Carlton probably arent a good chance for the eight in any case- fact is he'll still be young enough in a few years when Carlton's top draft picks have matured. My main worry (apart from what I said in the first paragraph) would be that since he's just come in, he wouldnt have any real first hand experience of how things work at the club- he might be a born leader, but it might have been better if they'd given him a year or two to get a feel for his new workplace rather than just handing him the reigns. Since he's only been there a few months, there'd be plenty of guys on the list who he doesnt even really know yet- you'd think it'd make sense for a captain to have a good grounding of the strengths and limitations of the people he's supposed to be leading, and possibly some understanding of their personalities so that he can communicate with them effectively on a personal level.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
