Essendon fan incident with Chris Judd

[efcboy]

Whilst I'm not a Judd fan I do respect him for walking on and ignoring the idiot showing some common sense and class. Something Clarkson completely lacks.

 

[efcboy]

The club he supports is completely irrelevant, but unfortunately people don't need much to tar you all with the same brush. The person involved seems to have either a mental illness or an addiction to something and he shouldn't reflect on you as a supporter group. I think it's seriously unfair that it's being reported as "ESSENDON fan attacks Chris Judd" rather than anything else.

He might have just picked up some free clothes from the op shop - Patrick Smith may have donated his singlet when he changed teams. They seem about the same size and intellect

Yep, for this I'm not sure how Essendon comes into this apart from the clothing.

In that area (Carlton, Fitzroy, Collingwood), you get a lot of people from lower socio-economic groups wandering around the cafe areas who have substance (drugs/alcohol) abuse problems and/or mental health issues.

Although as others have pointed out, there is a massive contrast between this and the Clarkson issue.

Very well said.

I think Judd handled it well too.

What an absolute tool the guy was.

Kudos to Chris Judd for not interacting with that idiot.

All class

Pleased with footy classified not even mentioning the team this dickhead supports. Judd acted with class and we never want anyone to have their lunch ruined.

Far out Sarah Lukin is good. Whatever the AFL pays her, she is worth it.

I remember once at a venue we saw an ex North Premiership player come in with his wife and another couple. Within 5-10 minutes the 3 blokes started mouthing off to him. Security cam along and cleared them off, player shrugged it off, but I thought what a bunch of farkwits picking on a bloke for no reason. Once they leave the field they're just like everyone else.

I am surprised that more of these incidents didn't happen in the last two years. The emotive reporting and saturation in the media of the supplements saga was a power keg ready to explode - We are lucky the keg fairly much stayed intact.

 

[Howard Moon]

well he couldnt exactly run - he has a hamstring injury...

 

[Jesse Custer]

poor juddy

 

[Lord Nicholson]

I think the guy just really wanted Chris to look at the HPC now and hopefully change his mind before the 2007 trade period ends.

 

[daffo]

That guy was a knob.

Well done to Judd to defuse the situation.

 

[carnthedons]

So some dickhead happens to be wearing Essendon gear and baiting people. Newsflash, we have lots of supporters and common sense says some of them are gonna be farkwits.

At the end of the day there's dickheads everywhere in society.

I hope the club cancels his membership.

I hope the club cancels his membership.

CCTV footage shows it happened on the 13/4 - a full 2 weeks before it was released.

Now tell me the timing was a coinky-dink.

 

[Autobahn]

Maybe Judd pulled a funny face

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Just on Judd complaining about people making money out of this incident, wasn't his interview with Channel 9 an 'exclusive'?

I think its a good article. The money making side of it.

I see the unfortunate side of the story for Essendon. Despite the intentions of the media, not everyone who hears or reads the news is stupid enough to think that this clown involved is anything that Essendon wish to be associated with, same thing for Port with their incident, its not a reflection on Port.

The headline just doesn't look as good as 'scumbag harasses football player'. We need to start an exchange program with some third world countries where we can ship over the filth of society and bring over people can actually contribute to society.

Just because someone supports your club, does not mean that your club supports them!

 

[Despair]

The media can be so negative.

Why "Essendon fan threatens Chris Judd"?

Why not "Good samaritan offers to help Malthouse's rebuild"?

My sides hurt.
