HEY!!!! You’re yelling at the wrong person. I’m on the same page as you, silly bugger

Sounds messy

Sam’s surname is very fitting

Already signed, months ago. After our match at Carrara (June this year) at the airport he told me he wasn’t going anywhere. This was the only time I asked straight up if he’s signed yet. He said they were just tying up some loose ends, but yeah, he’s definitely signing. About a month later he told me he has signed and the announcement will be within the fortnight. It wasn’t. The first session at Gosch’s after Goody was sacked, Judd knew I was upset and he made a point of saying (in case the announcement was made at that time which might’ve appeared to say Judd signed because Goody was sacked) that nothing has changed, he’s still committed to the Dees. About three weeks ago I told him I reckon the announcement will be made shortly after the appointment of a new coach since it’s good PR. He said he’s guessing the same. We’ve talked a bunch but the above are the main occasions. And if it was almost any other player I’d concede he mightn’t be telling me the truth.

We really, really need an eye-roll reaction emoji, ideally a full 360-degree eye-roll, coupled with a huge sigh.

Uhm, never said Judd is staying because he’s happy with Lily, nor have I ever said he’s staying based on the fact that Lily plays for Melbourne. What I have been saying is that for months Judd has been regularly telling me that he isn’t leaving, that he wants to stay with us and that he’s waiting for the announcement to be made. This has nothing to do with Lily. He talks about Lily, sure. But never in relation to his decision. Lily talks about Judd, again not about his decision.

Dagnabbit Fence! You’re making it hard for me to be angry with you 😤

Apologies if this has already been posted, but I’ve just seen it, and it’s great… Son of an absolute gun

Move over, Shakespeare. We have a new wordsmith in town 😂

Well said, Redleg! It especially applies to Judd who is modesty personified. He’s humble and unassuming and that’s his inherent disposition, more so than almost all the other boys. I say ‘almost’ because imho XL is pretty much level with him in this regard. It pains me no end to see people painting this picture of him as an arrogant, conceited little sch!tt who has no regard for fans and is deliberately keeping everyone waiting, purely based on their own annoyance at the absence of an announcement. It simply couldn’t be further from the truth.

While I’m at the crease Fence is that very bowler 😠

… said every single listener since the introduction of the press conference. Man on the moon etc.

I know, I know. My leaving game’s been good of late. There’s always gonna be that one ball I can’t resist.

@Demonland Just curious, Andy. We’ve all chucked our 2 cents in. What are your thoughts on Kingy’s appointment?

Even better, OD, he actually said, “I am the coach this club is screaming out for.” And he said it mid-response which shows it wasn’t contrived, he genuinely believes it.

He is. His official role is Indigenous Player Development Manager (IPDM). In early 2021 the AFL mandated the appointment of an IPDM at every club. But we appointed Matty in this role in 2017 by choice, ie. before it became compulsory. And it’s a successful and valuable appointment and will continue to be since he’s a godsend for our indigenous boys.

Yet it’s ok to relentlessly and unfairly goad me on the subject of Judd and his contract?

If Max plays we shouldn’t be accused of stupidity because “let” isn’t a factor. If Max wants to play, Max plays.

Fo shizzle my nizzle 😎

That darn dirty rat set me up for a fall? Knuckle, the hb plodder??? That’s a knuckle sandwich comin’ his way. See what I did there 😁 You know, I’m starting to think you’re not a real Viscount 🤨

I swear I read somewhere that that ‘someone’ will end up with MASSIVE egg on their face should the situation play out contrary to what Judd has been telling that ‘someone’ all along. Mind you, not just egg, but MASSIVE egg. Oh and that that ‘someone’ will look stupid as well (which is redundant since MASSIVE egg on one’s face is stupid-looking enough, surely). “MASSIVE” egg 😂 sweet baby jesus, give me strength 😅😅😅

But that’s better than Annie Wilkes vibes, right? 😏 Google her

Actually I think my buddy 640MD is referring to that vain, arrogant POS Bailey Smith.

That makes hundreds of us 😁

Random but, ok… I guess 🤷‍♀️
