Jaded No More

While your post is brilliant and I loved reading it, I'm thinking that we need to take a step back and calm ourselves down. The media may be all over this "Judd to Melbourne" thing, but there is nothing to suggest that this is any different or more credible than the previous "Judd to Club X" rumours. Nothing is official, in fact, does anyone know if Judd has left hospital? Has he spoken to his manager? Has his manager spoken to the clubs in question? At the end of the day, we are all desperate for information and when it's positive, we buy it, and when it's negative we dismiss it. Don't believe anything until Judd or Connors or Club X officially announces something. That may not be until the end of next week, so we have a lot more of these rumours to get through first.

I have: - an exam - a folio - an assignment - a presentation All due when I finish my holidays (go back the day Trade Week starts, bloody brilliant!). So far I have done: - Chris Judd research on Demonland, Demonology, BigFooty, SEN, 3AW and various newspaper websites Likelihood of me failing at least 1 of the above 4, given I also have to attend my job in the next week: 90%

I'm happy with the Judd to Melbourne bit, but Frawley is one player I really don't want to lose. I hope Bailey has another young defender up his sleeve that he's looking to poach or draft, because Frawley will be a gem. This from a BigFooty West Coast supporter - http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=378834 That would be the greatest deal on the planet, but it seems unlikely. Everything else sounds pretty common sense.

Just said on Ch.9 that we're looking very good to get Judd, which you would expect given that Hutchy works at Ch.9 Collingwood are the other candidate, so it's certainly down to either us or the Pies... wow, there's a revelation! Then that little bastard Tony Jones said: "who would have thought Melbourne would get good news in September". Ha ha ha... I'm laughing on the inside you moron!

So we're losing pick 4, Frawley and pick 21? That sounds ok to me. Hopefully we can try to get a top 10 pick without having to lose Frawley though. I would think that given West Coast's interest in Frawley last year, that they'd be happy with Frawley himself (rather than pick 9). Did Hutchy say when the announcement will be made, or heaven forbid, his source? <_<

As opposed to Carlton, who even if they don't give up any of their players or picks, will still have a weak forward line, defense and ruck! Carlton- trying to buy their way out of the gutter and failing miserably.

Too much talk about Geelong and some event called the Grand Final. Rubbish SEN, talk about something important will you?!

I'm loving that a thread about spew (and other bodily functions) is getting such a workout. No doubt we'll be breaking the all-time record for most users on Demonland in the next few days... if not hours.

I normally study fashion merchandising, however it seems more and more likely that thanks to Judd, I will now fail my final assignment and have to make a career for myself at McDonalds. Thanks Judd!

It's like I've never left my job in childcare Sort it out, and don't involve the rest of the posters here. Don't ruin a perfectly good thread!

Same here. Come on Judd, my entire academic future is in your hands! :D

Post here if the Chris Judd hysteria, rumours and innuendo is making you feel sick, think irrational thoughts, lie on the floor in the fetal position and/or pray to god/jesus/buddah/etc etc... Any Judd-related symptoms can be posted here. Hopefully I'm not alone in this, or I might actually be having a stroke, in which case I should probably get off Demonland and go to the hospital...

More likely going to happen on Monday.... or so I've been told. I really wish I wasn't so desperate for rumours, because they are doing my head in. He'll announce it when he announces it. He's probably still medicated from his surgery, we shouldn't push him or he might accidentally announce he's chosen Carlton!

Indeed. Tone down the personal abuse and silly irrelevant posts please. This is especially directed to our new posters, who are reminded to read the Code of Conduct before going on a posting spree. Cheers.

I just had to delete half the thread. Take your personal arguments and abuse somewhere else. Thanks!

We don't know anything about Knights to suggest he's a poor choice. He's a left-field choice, sure, but so was Clarkson and a guy by the name of Dean Bailey... Nobody is going to fill the shoes of Kevin Sheedy, but good on Essendon for taking a big risk and appointing someone completely different to Sheedy. I think Essendon have a fair bit of rebuilding to do in the next few years, and there is nothing to suggest Knights can't get them through that.

The only decent source I have, still has Collingwood ahead of Melbourne. This is a source that actually has come good plenty of times before, so I will choose to go with that over the crap they broadcast on SEN.

Nope, not related, but probably just used to being disappointed when it comes to the MFC. So, anymore exciting straws for us to clutch at this morning?

And yesterday was a positive day for Collingwood... Please, because some idiot who has money to burn feels like placing a bet on Judd coming to Melbourne, the media suddenly flags us as favourites?! Nothing's changed as far as I'm concerned. Don't get too carried away people, it will make the disappointment that much worse.

I hate the bloody Footy Show! :angry: :angry: :angry:

Hutchy is coming on. However it will probably be a lot of talk about Essendon's new coach... and Hutchy going through the bins of all of Judd's relatives! Crawf said "thanks for choosing Hawthorn" and Judd said "yeah, I thought I'll announce it on Street Talk".

*yawn* We still know nothing, and don't expect anything important to be said on the Footy Show tonight. At least Jonathan Brown makes this whole show worth watching! :D

Doubt they'll say anything on The Footy Show tonight. So far, they only said that Judd may have let something slip during Street Talk at the Brownlows on Monday night. Storm in a miniature tea-cup. Meh!

I thought this was the Judd Board, not the Mentally Delusional Board....
