If he does my view will be shaped by the way he goes about it and to a lesser extent his reason(s) for doing so.
If he wants simply to return to Victoria and gives us the opportunity to broker a suitable trade then I would not hold a grudge against him.
If he turns his back on the club and threatens to go in the PSD despite us being raped on a trade, then I will hold a grudge.

Most probably.
Depends on the manner of his exit for mine.
If he does all he can to help WCE on his way then it would be a lot easier to swallow.. though thinking about it recently it's going to burn me up a bit if/when i see him bursting through packs of eagles in another guernsey..
I'd be a lot happier about it if he stayed 1-2 years more. He is still a young guy and not to mention he likely hasn't reached the halfway point of his career yet.. the 'i miss my family/friends' excuse doesn't sit so well with me knowing that.. would really rather he displayed a bit more loyalty then that. He is captain after all, and it's really not a good example for younger players.
I'll miss him a lot for sure but WCE will likely win with whatever is traded.. simple as that really.

NO , Judd would always do the right thing for our club and he would think of he got a premiership and achieved what most footballers play there whole careers for and never get. and that was all because we saw a star and picked him up and my self i think he wouldnt have any of that if he went else were.Anyway as much as i want judd to stay now is a perfect chance for us to get some more stars that we need and im sure judd would think the same thing.
No way.
Id wish him all the best (except when he plays us - then Id be giving Big Bad Beau a special message ;) )

Can't see that happening. His attitude (and big guts) would get in the way.

I think you'd probably find if Judd was fit, Big Bad Beau wouldn't be able to catch him.

So you are assuming, like the Melb press, that he is definitely leaving W.C.?

He'd get him.
But no how could you hate judd. And he is not leaving.
He'd get him.
Well, people overrate what affect this type of stuff would have on Judd. Odd that players haven't tried it before (successfully). And probably because (a) they can't catch him, and (b) he'd take some knocking over anyway. Sometimes I think people forget how solid he is.

As long as the club was compensated AND
HE DIDN'T GO TO ESSENDON OR COLLINGWOOD:mad::mad::thumbsd:
If he does go I wouldn't be surprised to see him packaged with another player.
Say Judd + Hanson or Staker for Carlton Pick 1,3 and Fev.
I'm over Hanson and how injury prone he is, it probably cost us this final series and will do so again.:(

firstly i've gotta say i wouldn't hate Chris Judd if he left just because hes not as much of a tool as other players and he's done a lot for us.
and that quote above i gotta agree with his injury problems. Friday night killed the eagles playing a player down and then going into extra time, the boys would've been buggered!

In a word NO
True supporters dont forget what certain players have done for our club so to hate him and even boo him would be an absolute disgrace. He has been inspirational and nobody should forget that.
Having said that, IF he does go (although I believe he will stay) and Beau does clean him up at some stage I won't feel any sympathy for him :D
I dont particularly like him as he is, even though he plays for us so I probably will. From day 1 Juddy rubbed me up the wrong way. He won me over with his footballing skills but nothing hes done has made me think that hes nothing but a egomaniac.
I wont boo him when he comes but I certainly wont cheer him either

Out of any West Coast player I can think of, possibly bar Cox and Wirra, Judd seems the least likely to have an ego problem. Despite having every right to.

One of many reasons id say. Still, I think itd be a pretty low act to leave despite the fact Mark Seaby and Graham both took paycuts along with Cousins to keep him at the club. Massive sign of disrespect I think
Geez, I certainly wont hate him. Al I will be is disappointed. Hope he stays here, but hey its his life, he can do as he pleases...

Nope but it will be heartbreaking to see him in any other colours but the mighty blue and gold...
I will have to change my screen name too... not happy about that.. :eek:
If he leaves I'm going to be devastated.
Imagine going to see the boys play every second week and JUDD not leading them onto Subi oval :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
It just wouldn't be the same :( no player is bigger than the club but this is the best player in the comp and losing him would be f*****
I don't think I'd hate him because the guy has given 110% every time he has played.
I just couldn't help but feel a bit ripped off regardless of what we were to get for him, because he is our captain, our premiership captain and I know if I was captain of a club I wouldn't leave!

inclined to agree with you here, this has gone on long enough and the media speculation is now beyond a bloody joke, he either wants to go home or he doesn't. He should just come out and say which one it is then the feeding frenzy or new contract negotiation can begin. Our members deserve a little more than this bullshit that has surrounded the club for the last month or more.
So you are assuming, like the Melb press, that he is definitely leaving W.C.?
You misunderstand.
You will find most WCE supporters have semi gotten used to the idea of him leaving the club - we know he will probably leave the club someday to go home. Whether its now or in a few years its very likely. I was not neccessarily referring to him leaving now.
will be very hard to deal with especially if he plays a blinder for a few years. depends on how he leaves but if we do get fev, a high draft pick as well as a gun midfielder il be very happy. still it would be very hard to deal with as wce were the ones who gave him a chance as he had a crapload of injuries. ditching us now when we're preparing to make a huge attack on the holy grail would be extremely annoying.
i will cry but he'll still be my fav player ever. sigh.

As has been said before, it depends on how he leaves.
If we get a suitable trade, then no.
If he simply walks out on us, then yes.
Either way I will be devastated.

I'm starting to get very irritated by his lack of communication on the matter, he's had plenty of time to end the media speculation and still hasn't done so and I think that's poor form and disrespectful towards our members. He just needs to say one way or the other what he wants too do and everything after that can take care of itself.

He is the CAPTAIN of our club! If he leaves I will hate him, and he will deserved to be booed every time he returns to Subiaco to play against us.
Shocking loyalty and a guy that has showed no passion towards West Coast during the time that he has been here.:thumbsd:
But in saying that - I hope all the reports are false and he decides to stay:)
Lynch takes a mark
16 Sep 2007, 16:57
I think he will look back on this after he is retred and say that it was the wrong decision
Captain of the premiership side and then requesting to be traded a year later so he can 'return home' bloody idiot
I'm not happy
Not very happy with him at the moment.
same here. had to wait all season giving us hope and now has shot us in the leg. so much for loyalty. shouldve told us at the beginning of the season he wanted to go home.
captain should never desert his side. wc gave him a shot after 2 shoulder reconstructions, gave him a chance to play in the big league gave him everything he required to get the premiership medallion now he wants to run home. thanks a lot chris.

If he does leave I want Darren Glass to stand on the premiership podium next year and in his speech as the premiership captain say "Chris Judd, you were wrong!"
EXTREMELY classless by Judd. The guy is pure scum. That we know now. To announce he is leaving so soon after losing in the finals series is a VERY low act. Ill boo him when he comes back. Very very low act from a very low bloke
true colours are finally beginning to show. never played with passion in our side. sure our benny did drugs but he bleeds blue and gold. have no respect for him anymore even if hes the best player in the league. eagles better get the best out of this trade.
At least Juddy isn't leaving for a bigger pay check, so no I won't hate him. He has also provided good service to the club and if he gets traded hopefully we'll get something that makes the club even stronger.
As long as the rumours about Cuzzy retiring isn't true, the Eagles may come out stronger from this.

This is how i see it and they way i thought of it with the Pav situation. My biggest problem was the thought of watching a game of footy and seeing him in another jumper. A guy that the club had put so much time into all of a sudden running around for someone else. If Pav went to Adelaide or Port, i would avoid watching their games as much as possible.
I read that he told his manager on Thursday? So while he sat there and watched us Friday night, he knew he was leaving already.
What, if by some pure miracle we had made our way to the GF? Would he have still told us today? Would he have left? I feel very misled. He would not commit to re-signing his contract, and now we know why....

I think your being a bit unrealistic there. You cant expect him to come out during the season and say "i'm leaning towards going home". Honestly he couldnt have done this any different and it was always going to be messy if he decided to leave. If he was truthful he would have known months ago he was leaving but you cant expect him to say that publicly.

true colours are finally beginning to show. never played with passion in our side. sure our benny did drugs but he bleeds blue and gold. have no respect for him anymore even if hes the best player in the league. eagles better get the best out of this trade.
How on earth can you say that?
If this was true, he would have a) had surgery as soon as he hurt his groin this year, rather than busting his gut to try and help the side in their premiership aspirations, b) came off in the grand final last year as soon as he hurt his shoulder. He would have and did bleed for the eagles.
On the topic of grand finals, he won the norm smith in 2005 and the only reason he didn't win it last year was that his name is chris judd. Had anyone else played that game they would have won the medal for sure. You would not have won without him last year. Judd got you a premiership, not the other way around.
same here. had to wait all season giving us hope and now has shot us in the leg. so much for loyalty. shouldve told us at the beginning of the season he wanted to go home.
captain should never desert his side. wc gave him a shot after 2 shoulder reconstructions, gave him a chance to play in the big league gave him everything he required to get the premiership medallion now he wants to run home. thanks a lot chris.
Mate, Judd went at three instead of higher up because of his injuries. I highly doubt that if WC hadn't picked him with that pick he would have gone undrafted.
Every club in Victoria is going to be fighting for Judd. You WILL be well compensated for him. I can appreciate how frustrated and annoyed you must all be, but WC has been very very well served by Judd.

Thank God there are a few non-eagles fan here to talk a bit of sense.
I'm absolutely shattered that he's chosen to leave, but I'm not bitter. I honestly believe this wasn't about the money and I don't think he necessarily should have handled it differently (should have said so earlier in the year? should have waited more time? it's as though your just searching for a criticism).
You know what's far worse than leaving your club? Character assassinations behind the safety of a monitor. Some of you are truly pathetic.

I'm devestated. How can you not be dis-heartened when your best player says he wants to leave?
But I will hold no grudge against him, he is a great player and has been awesome for us. I can't imagine what its like being under the pressure he has been over the last 2 seasons. Wish him all the best in his career, which could still be one of the greatest ever witnessed.
