A guy who makes the coffee in a cafe where Judd once visited, told his paperboy, who told his teacher, who never tells fibs, that she had passed on to my accountant's son's mate who drives a cortina, that Judd is coming to the Dees.
And what would you think if we didn't get Judd but was able to trade our pick 4 to the Pies for say a Brown and Reid , two 19 yo 194 cm key position players plus some improvement in our remaining picks.
No matter what i don't see Judd going to the Tiges for nothing, it just won't happen. While i share some of your enthusiasm for getting Judd i am a little concerned that we give too much and hurt the list. If it means missing out on Judd but getting good quality kids instead I will live with it. Look where the kids took the Pies this year.
With the retirement of Clement and possibly Buckley, Burns and Wakelin, the pies can have room in their salary cap. The big questions will be, will Judd nominate them and who can they trade outright and to get high picks, to satisfy the Eagles.
Maybe he has been told or believes that he will only get another season out of his body and he is looking for a payday. Maybe he is only looking for security if his form tapers off. Who knows?
