Anyone happy about the Tigers beating Chri$ Judd's mob?



Recommended Posts

Yeah go Tiges, good to see Carlton go down.

Judd did look in pain, he didn't use to grimace that much when stretching out. Maybe it's just a matter of playing through it while coming back from the surgery. Maybe its worse than that. Still, he has moments that are just brilliant, only its a bit harder when you don't have Kerr/Cousins/Embley/Fletcher/Braun/Priddis/Hurn around you.

My theory is that in an effort to pump up the tyres of their wagon Carlton have gone too early with Judd. I haven't seen the match, but I'd be interested to know Hards from yourself and others how he played. Others have stated he looked only 50% fit and at times looked to be in pain. Given DB's philosophy with players and injuries I doubt he would've played if he'd been with us. I am a complete sceptic when it comes to blokes playing on dodgy groins - either they're right or they're not. Playing through pain is one thing, but if it's on overuse injury like OP then according to all the current indications and trends he will simply continue to aggravate the problem to the point where he was last year, or potentially worse.

He did look a little rough, but his acceleration was still there, maybe not 100% but almost perfect. Without knowing the exact issue with his groin, I get the feeling it's one of those ones that is not bad at full pace but becomes a major problem when he cools down. Problem with that is that each week he plays the harder it'll be to get back to close to 100% - the recovery gets harder and harder.

Carlton in general got badly overrun, and perhaps too many guys playing off short pre-seasons? Stevens and Judd in particular, plus Murphy got knocked around a bit. They're just so young in the key positions other than Fev and Thornton (sorta), by the time Edwards and those guys become consistant key forwards it's going to be three+ years. Those guys aren't Buddy Franklin's that can start turning games by themselves in year two...

maybe carlton were tanking! Especially if the game notes were to be believed, because in both the second and third quarters they apparently 'went to sleep'

I kept seeing Richo pleading to the umpire "Why have you forsaken me?".

And then he arose as if from the dead.

But Fair Dinkum how can anyone compare him with Robbie? (todays paper)

Beware false prophets I reckon.

Richo was so hardly done by when he was running back with the flight, showing amazing courage and was clearly kneed in the back and got donuts from the umpire, it was a disgrace.

I'd just like to add that Carlton are now my most hated side by far, if they were going to fold I would be delighted.

I'm happy to see Chri$ grimace in pain and would love if he never played a final again.

Richo is God

A bloke that loves the jumper and stuck with his club the entire journey, even though they have sucked the whole time

Judda$ on the other hand.. karma will get him, and the tanking Blues

Losing is a culture!

It is, and Carlton are now subscribed to it. Libba was right depsite the AFL's denials. I encourage a curse on them, couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of merchant bankers.

Carlton are a bit like Sir Paul McCartney. They both purchased damaged goods in the form of a person with one good leg and like the great Beatle, the Blues may well live to regret the decision.

Judd is an awsome player and i love watching him play, the fact that he's with carlton NOW doesn't bother me at all reallly, conidering he only won one premiership with a star filled westtoast.

i'm just really glad he didn't go to the pies were he could of really made a difference.....

he's a gun! the fact he didn't choose Melbourne doesn't worry me, i think we did really well in the drafting department this year.. so i only have one thing left to say about this matter..

GET OVER IT!

bounce!

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
