Should Judd play another year?

[Squadron82]

Has been awesome since he has come back from injury and still has plenty to give Carlton. A lot of talk whether he should go on or not, I think he should has proved that he still has it, a champion of the game.

What are your opinions on this?

 

[Falchoon]

On last nights performance yes.

but it's more will the body hold up over multiple weeks?

Is there an option to park him inside 50, dodgy goal kicking aside?

 

[HBF]

I'd say he goes around next year, but doesn't play every game.
Somewhere between 15-20 games next year should see him finish at the end of 2015.

 

[Modified Dog]

Hopefully he plays for another 3 years and Carlton keep on paying him the big dollars

 

[ManWithNoName]

Nobody's decision but Judd's.

We can all go on about "reputation" and "one year too long" but which of us would turn down a $500k~ contract for reasons like that?

 

[elhadjihenry]

Sub rule could prolong his career, could have match winning last quarter stints and not take too much physical toll on his body.

Not sure how much we would be willing to pay him for a limited role though.

oh well if he retires you can just go on hating another bald 30+ dual club brownlow medallist.....

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Yep. Still think he has another 2 or 3 years left, if he wants to play on.

 

[fddf]

He is starting to get the 'old man' injuries quite regularly at the moment. On ability it's a no brainer but he would definitely be conscious of the fact he might struggle to play even 15 games if he goes on. Would he want to go out like that? Who knows? Either way, he has earned the right to make that call himself

Because maybe he has more pride than to take the risk of potentially struggling through one more year and his body not holding up, plus taking up a spot on the list.

Money will not be the reason for him to play on. He's not going to struggle to earn a dollar when he finishes playing. Every media outlet in the land would be throwing money at him, and even if he doesn't want to do any of it, he has his business interests.

 

[Geoff Heywood]

Should & will retire at the end of this year.

Carlton are better served giving Graham a game every week & playing Cripps more now that he is over his injury.

His business with Greene's son is expanding and that will be the next stage in his life.

 

[Silvagnis]

We'll ask Leigh Matthews who thinks Judd lacks will.

Incredible that Judd's still has the speed and fitness to win the hardball and break out of traffic. Freak considering he's had an interrupted pre-season and season due to an achilles operation, a hamstring and an ankle injury last night. Pushes himself harder than any other mid. Must dot all the i's and cross all the t's with his preparation.

And the obsession from Chewy continues .

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Yes, was huge last night. Was only overtaken by Fyfes last quarter for best on.

 

[Chaisa]

There's only one guy who should make that decision.

AFAIC it comes down to his body. If he reckons he's fit enough, then yes he should.

 

[mike123]

Yes, he still has his speed and his kicking has gotten better. He also stands up when the pressure is on and can kick clutch goals.

 

[Ketchup]

No

 

[Stig_90]

Of course he should. Just because he's 30 it doesn't mean he should pull the pin after a tough year.

 

[rampar]

he is still the champ.

 

[Blue Heart]

On last night's form ... definitely a YES for me !!!

 

[FuManchu]

Yeah why not.

 

[ziad]

against Sydney live it was no.

last night against a disinterested Dockers it was yes.

on balance - leave on a high at years end

 

[Carlo]

Yes, But not at Carlton, They're only going down so He'd be better suited for a team vying for the flag.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Probably not. Am sure he'll walk straight into a media gig. Blues need to bottom out.

He took a massive pay cut last year.
