That's his job - to make money for his client.

And himself?

I would believe we knocked him back because we simply couldn't afford him

Maybe Melbourne simply knocked him back because we can't afford him. Or if we got Judd the A.F.L weren't going to give us any more handouts.

The real question is "Would Judd have come to Melbourne if our Facilities were up to scratch"?

I think there is something more to his decision, like some big under the table payments. I hope the ATO keep a close eye on him.

What sort of bloke is Judds manager? Would he have steered Judd away from us because he would be looking at making more money off Judd going to Collingwood as he would recieve a percentage of everything Judd makes including endorsements.

We didn't have a Hair Redevelopment Program in place. Maybe if we convince him that we can get his hair to grow back he might change his mind. Hes going to need some hair cos we will paint a big red target on his bald head

We should've kept Byron Pickett for one more seaon with his new role

KILL JUDD

Collingwood/ Carlton will have to high of expectations that he won't be able to meet. Remember he won't have Kerr and Cousins sharing the ball with him. He's another Woewodin case waiting to happen all over again. Good Luck top him but Collingwood will have a poor list after 2008 when rocca,burns,buckley,presti,wakelin are phucked. And Carlton which has has past drug culture at the club and probably still has. Maybe he thinks he'll get it easier at Collingwood/Carlton, he would have been under way less pressure if he went to Melbourne

Could you imagine the booing he will cop on queens bday match if he goes to the pies, He will feel like the biggest traitor and deservedly we'll make him feel like one. It would be so out of character for one of the greatest players to knock back playing for club he grew up supporting. If Judd goes to the pies he would be going for all the wrong reasons. In the true spirit of football he will be a demon. This will be a bad thing for the M.F.C if he goes to Collingwood, imagine the foul taste it will leave in our mouth if we have to think that our club isn't good enough for Judd an he had once dreamed of playing for us as a kid.

what a joke One of the most talented midfielders, a norwich rising star, and two early draft picks for judd idon't think he is worth that much. Judd is worth johnstone and pick 4 anything more and we are getting ripped

Just hope the Judd fiasco is the same and everything said in the media has no relevance to the outcome

He might feel hes got Geelong where they wanted and in his heart he would like to go back to Essendon and get them where he would like to see them ,playing finals, It would be more challenging and rewarding if he could take over sheedys spot and make it happen, how much more respected would he become within the AFL if he brought Essendon back from the

brink

He can't be too injured and mustn't be serious as everyone makes out.

Could Judd be waiting to see how successful his operation goes. If he aint going to be 100% he would probably rather be a burden to Collingwood than his childhood team Melbourne

Theres probably more chance James Hird will coach Essendon if Geelong win the flag

Eddies probably already got a portrait of Judd by his bed so his got something to toss over now Bucks has had it

I wouldn't get to upset if Judd goes to Collingwood we'll still beat them, we just won't be as unbeatable. Collingwood will have a very [censored] list after Rocca Wakelin Buckley Clement Burns Presti retire. Judd will have wished he had went to Melbourne, If I was Judd i couldn't stand the thought of becoming Eddies new wife AKA Chris Judd Mcguire

I think she talks too much dribble about players social lives and looks and sounds like an absolute tool. I cannot bring myself to listen too her. Shes a critic thats all she is, shes never played the game, maybe done the rounds at the local footy club and makes her claim to fame by dribbling [censored]. She has no credentials to comment on the game as an expert

They get a home ground advantage at their home ground? How terrible!

I believe all the Melbourne teams games should be played out of TD and MCG. Geelong play more than one game there a year remember and it gives them a bit of an edge over other Melbourne teams. The results are always usually in the way of Geelong when they play there. We don't play footy at Moorabin, Windy Hill, Optus Oval, or Western Oval, so why should they still get to play at Geelong

I think this is an excellent point. People will never say he's going to Melbourne because they simply cannot comprehend what appeals about us. Richmond, Melbourne and Carlton are all at about the same place right now, and Richmond and Carlton supporters will simply refuse to see what is better about us than about them. Same with the media. They cannot see what the appeal is about Melbourne. On top of that we have strongly opinionated numpties like Drain Russell talking us out of it.

People quickly forget we were the best Vic Club last season and would have been close to it again if it wasn't for injurys. We are the most underrated team in the comp. If we had a superstar in our team they would talk about us. Hearing about StKilda all the time shits me seens they are the most overrated team in the comp for the simple fact they have Nick Riewoldt. Because he is a superstar they expect special things to happen

Belly looks a very strong and balanced footballer could he be a midfielder because he looks alot stronger than Jonno and macca

Anyone think Carlton would want Robbo and Miller for there third pick. Carlton will need a forward now Kouta and Lappin have both retired and whitnall will get axed, Maybe a fair deal could be made seens they laid down against us to get first draft pick.

With Hardwick as coach the dons will now be known as the Essendon Snipers, if they adapt his style of play. We will see plenty of Essendon at the Tribunal next year especially Dustin Fletcher. I never liked Hardwicks ego when he entered the football ground. Essendon will run out onto the ground with the theme song "Macho Macho Man". I can't wait to see him dummy spit and i don't think he will have much respect from the playing group if he coaches the way he played.

Maybe thats why Clement retired so they can squeeze Judd in the salary cap. I thought he would have played another year even though he had a few injuries, he is worth more on the field than Bucks

I didn't realise how much i disliked Geelong till they played The Filth and i started barracking for the black and white which i have never done in my whole life. Geelong have always shitted me how they always get a home game at there [censored] box of a ground against us. I can't even bring myself to watch us play there, Its like playing an interstate game and it gives them advantage and is unfair for us as supporters.

I hope Geelong get a football lesson on Saturday, they only just beat the filth and the Power play alot better brand of football than them. I'd rather see An interstate side take the cup than have another victorian team rub salt into our wounds. Atleast it wont be in the Herals Sun for two weeks if Port win
