If he doesn't pull 3 weeks min there is something very wrong...

Again, I'm not defending Judd at all.I'm defending the fact of what is worse and what sort of sentence he should get. Some of the rot on here is completely outrageous.
What happened to thread title? I thought no dislocation actually occurred?

I don't think you can argue that from the video at all. I reckon there was intent to cause pain, but the end result was way more than intended.
may have a caseOh please, Judd knew exactly what he was doing.
You simply cannot spin that, other than plea mental illness.
Watch from 0:14.
Judd never gets the arm extended behind the back, which is the position needed to dislocate the arm. When pushed away the damage is caused because the arm is turned at that point

Its a bit of the tall poppy sysndrome too. Until Friday night my only "gripe" about Judd was the way he overused the facial grimace each game. He really can't help that, and it is a trivial thing to focus on.
But now, Juddy has given us on a silver platter reason to question his integrity and character. I agree, this is going to be difficult to defend, and if CFC try to argue all he was doing was stopping Adams from handballing, the MRP / AFL better shoot that line down.

You don't need to pull the arm back to dislocate the shoulder, that's ridiculous and your assumption with no knowledge of circumstances of injury.
The shoulder joint has the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body and as a result is particularly susceptible to dislocation. If you have ever been in the gym and have worked your shoulders, you will know that the shoulder can be injured/dislocated VERY easily as a result of an abnormal action.
It was reported by the North Melbourne doctor that the shoulder was pulled in and out of the socket, which lead to the dislocation and injury. And since Adams ALREADY had an injury to that area, it was common sense that it was a no-go area.
Watching the replay, you can easily see Judd trying to pull the shoulder out of the socket, at which point Adams was writhing in pain for him to stop - he ONLY stopped when Swallow pushed him away.
There was also NO other reason for Judd to be in that position and orchestrating that act in the first place. Adams was on his stomach, with Judd's own teammate on his back, it had no place in the play whatsoever, it is not a part of the sport.
Just when you think you've seen all the arguments, someone weighs in and says that Judd should be shown leniency for not killing the bloke.Pretty stupid by Juddy, but bit a bit of perspective please.
Only an example, but what Wellingham did last week and what many others have done in the past have the potential to kill the person on the other end, maybe an exaggeration, but highly possible. What Judd did was never going to kill anyone. If indeed there was a dislocation, what is worse, a dislocated shoulder or a smashed face? Someone travelling like a freight train and smashing you in the face would most likely be a little more uncomfortabable than someone twisting your arm. IMO if Wellingham got 5 then Juddy will get maybe 3 or 2 down to 1 with the early plea. His previous record may come into it though, so 2 will be a good outcome. But there has been no precedent really in this case, but to say it was worse than Wellingham's, get a grip.
I'm not defending what Judd did for a second, but the reason why the commentators and/or media didn't jump on it straight away as they tend to be a little more balanced and not meant to show any bias. At the moment, it's pretty much Judd haters that are calling for larger penalties.

Oh so its now his team mates fault???
Judd is responsible for the arm being in that position in the first place with no plausible explanation for having lifted it there.
I thought Hunt was the most dog act but not as serious as Betts was uninjured.
Longergans tackle was fine and part of the game, unfortunate he got injured.
Judd was very dumb in what he did but I don't believe he had intent to injure or hurt Adams much like Lonergan.
I think Wellingham was reckless in the way he went about, not his intent to injure Simpson once again but copped his whack. Probably lucky not to get an extra week.
I just find it hard to believe that any player goes out of there way to cause serious injury to another player. Split second decisions can lead to it but I don't think players think of ways to injure an opponent.
Look I find it implausible that Judd managed to dislocate Adams shoulder simply by moving into the position it was in. If he had thrust it into that position he could of dislocated, but not like that. Still his fault, still needs to be punished.
will everyone shut up about Hunt?
They are totally separate incidents. Just because both were allegedly stop a handball means precisely zero

Oh but he did. If his intent was to stop him from handballing out, he should have stopped at a reasonable angle. .

WTF. Way to misinterpret. There are some mental short people on here.
Completely disagree.
Thread would be three times bigger if Adams chicken winged Marc Murphy's left arm.
