Jaded No More

If only you weren’t a female poster hey 🙄

Tell Freo it’s pick 11 for Judd or he’s off to the draft God I hate Freo!

Don’t care that he lied to a fan. It’s poor but it happens. Care that he lied to the club for months and that his manager wasted our time and got the club to redraw contracts several times as his demands changed. And then lied about waiting for a new coach.

Langdon Essendon fans were very upset about losing Hibbo as well

Supporters of those clubs do if those players are any good

But I bet you love coming here and reading the info. If you don’t, block the posters or go away. Having a go at supporters who pass along info they get in good faith is what’s pathetic. The posters who suggested Judd will stay all have very solid track record with info and have put their necks out several times against the tide. Famously on Kosi staying put! It’s part of what makes Demonland so good, even if the info occasionally doesn’t stack up. If journalists can flat out lie to us, you have a problem with a few posters occasionally getting some solid info wrong? Edit: not surprised one bit by the poster who liked your post. The worst of the lot when it comes to contributing nothing but their deluded ego to this site, and who continuously shows his misogynistic ways with the posters he looks down on and dismisses.

Maybe King doesn’t think Judd is good enough to play an attacking half back role? Maybe he thinks Judd is better as a deep defender. Who knows really. Maybe he just said I will take your wishes on board, but bottom line we play a team sport and you need to play whatever role we need you to play each week. At the end of the day a player so clearly embedded in your best 22, leaving on grounds of wanting to play a slightly different role, is a total load of BS and an excuse. I’m not buying it.

Not sure he wants to be a midfielder. He wants to play an attacking role. Doesn’t want to defend hard. Doesn’t want to play last line of defense. It actually annoys me how hard Howes had to work to get senior games down back this year, while McVee had such a poor year and was never once dropped.

I think he stitched the club too. I reckon he and his WA based manager told a lot of lies during the year. Tried extracting more money, got more years, then asked to reduce the contract length back to two years, then asked to wait for a new coach… they absolutely played us.

That’s very unfair. Actually a glowing endorsement if King is not letting a mediocre player with potential dictate to him where he wants to play. King is the coach. You don’t like what role he wants you to play, see ya later! This is exactly why we replaced Goody, because standards and selflessness have gone out the window, something Goody himself recently admitted was a struggle post flag. You don’t let players run the show. Especially not players of Judd’s caliber. Imagine McVee telling Chris Scott he doesn’t want to play a defensive role. He’d be laughed out of the senior side.

@Ghostwriter do not let anyone in here have a go at you. I know you were passing info in good faith and believed what you were told. Anyone who piles on doesn’t deserve to ever come here again looking for info. I’m sorry Judd lied to you. You deserve much better than that!

This. He wants to dictate where he plays? He can do that at West Coast and enjoy a lovely collection of wooden spoons and Hungry Jacks meals.

I know we won’t do that, as it screws us, but my god I’d be tempted to let him walk to the draft and end up at West Coast and rot at the bottom of the ladder for the best years of his career. Filthy at this. Absolutely filthy. Exactly the sort of selfish attitude and me first mentality that we need to rid the club of. You’d think he was languishing at Casey all year, instead of being rushed back from a hammy and played thru truly mediocre form all year!

Seems Judd and his manager took our club for a ride. You may not believe what some posters are suggesting on here, but plenty of posters with good connections and sources all heard the same re: Judd wanting to stay. So screw that ungrateful cry baby who we plucked from obscurity during Covid and made a great player, who isn’t happy to play the role he’s being asked to play What a pathetic way to pay the club back.

So I was watching the game with friends yesterday including my very good friend who is an Essendon supporter. We were discussing how they’re chasing Zac Bailey (who is a gun!), and he said Bailey would love to come play for a big club like Essendon now he’s won 2 flags. I didn’t know if should laugh at him or cry at his delusion, so I just said the only way Bailey ends up at Essendon is if you throw every single bit of cap you have at him.

Andrews was fantastic but against not much opposition, especially once Cameron broke his arm. Lions won that game thru midfield dominance and brutality led by Ashcroft. Ashcroft also played well for the entire game, he dominated in every quarter. 32 touches, 10 clearances, 8 tackles, 9 inside 50s, 10 score involvements, 3 goal assists and a goal himself is elite stuff. He had a complete game.

To think post 2022 Brisbane got a two time Norm Smith medallist for pick 46 🙄

17 and 7 clearances in a half. Elite stuff. A risk that paid off.

Maybe King has said no to the idea of bringing Derksen on board and so suddenly he’s open to staying. Just a thought.

$900k for Flanders and people say Trac and Clarry are overpaid! Beyond insane!

I would be surprised if Trac is still playing in 5 years. But nothing in life is guaranteed. In 2018 we probably thought we were not far from a flag. In 2020 we thought we were miles off it. The point I am making is that while GC have talent through the roof, they just made their first finals series. They have a stench of Freo about them, and have not shown anything to guarantee success. A talented list doesn't always mean success. We know that. And Adelaide are going to really miss Tex and now with Burgess leaving, who knows where they'll land. They showed in finals how far off they were. 8 straight quarters lost against two teams that flatlined in prelims against better midfields, shows you that their issues are not simply resolved by Trac and/or Rankine.

Not really when you look at this draft. You are unlikely to get a player better than Flanders with pick 7 this year.
