Buddy v Juddy

[Blueboys7]

If i had the choice right now between judd or buddy at the carlton football club id go buddy. The only reason is we are in desperate need of KKP and he is a gun and only 21. But the best player well who knows? They are different types of players...

 

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

Franklin is better.

 

[wce4premiership]

Both superstars.

However, Buddy is going to a place no footballer has ever gone.

Could very easily become the greatest player ever by 25.

Idiot.

 

[wce4premiership]

He'd turn that club right the ____ around. Ben McKinley's very good though, was he one of the draft picks Carlton gave you for Judd?

Nope we got him a few years ago.

 

[wce4premiership]

Judd has the runs on the board - Brownlow, Premiership Captain, AA, Best and Fairest etc...Buddy will need to prove himself for more than 1 season to be in the same league as an elite player like Judd.

Buddy is proving himself.

Also it's harder to dominate as a fullforward then it is to do in the middle.

Judd will never be better then what he was at the eagles, he may be that good again but not better.

 

[Thrawn]

I abstain.

Must be hard for a 6'6 monster to dominate! When he is quick off the lead, great over head and great when the ball hits the deck.

How can you say he wont be better? He has just come back from injury.
Essendon - 32 disposals 2 goals 4 tackles
Collingwood - 26 disposals 7 tackles
Melbourne - 26 disposals 3 goals 5 tackles
And he is still not 100% fit.
Stupid comment he has played 5 games this year.

He's saying that he won't be better than he was at the Eagles, he'll be as good as, but won't reach any NEW LEVELS. Not saying that he's not returning to form.

I think the problem you're having is that you want to say Franklin is the best player in the AFL, but you know deep down that Judd is the best footballer in the competition easily.

No . . . i didn't even vote . . .

 

[Power King]

i think we've seen the best of judd though, he's very consistent and has probably reached the height of his powers, whereas buddy is still lacking polish and has gone up a level from last year, still improving . . . whatever happens with him, he'll go down in history as an excitement machine.

^True franklin still has lots of room for improvement, however i dont think judd is 'past his best'. I do agree that he has probably reached the height of his powers, which is a remarkable height, but 'past his best' means that he has reached his best form and isn't able to recapture it because he is past it. In my opinion, Judd can maintain his stellar form for another good 4 years (barring injuries)

 

[TheNewEra]

BUDDY by a country mile then the rest, when an opposition supporter is looking forward to watching a hawks game purely to see what buddy might do you know there u have not only the most exciting player but the best in the league. Too bad carlton spent half their salary cap for judd thinking he was the best to only last a month into the season. buddy to the hawks is worth quarter of judd to the blues. sorry u just have to laugh

yup, it's premature to say he's past his best, doomsayers and tall poppy syndrome people say he'll never be as good as hair-judd . . . maybe if he did a knee, but it's only a groin operation.

 

[unit27]

G.Ablett is the best player in the AFL, i watched the game against Sydney and in the 4th qtr he was unbelievable.

 

[Bay Pie]

Most will go for Franklin.

Carlton supporters and a sprinkling will go for Judd.

Judd's still a gun but Buddy can influence a game like the Duck and Ablett did, already.

 

[Blueboys7]

Collingwood supporters will say:

DALE THOMAS

 

[HFF]

Idiot.

Was it something I said?

 

[croady_fan24]

Both fantstic players

My vote: Buddy. He is leading to a place where no footy player has gone before.

 

[wce4premiership]

Was it something I said?

Best player ever in 5 years.

That'll never happen.

 

[jonoman89]

atm, judd - based on consistency and freakishness

buddy definitely could crack it if he keeps his form up for the year.

 

[Eel_storm]

1 more vote and the percentages will equal the vote numbers for each player.

 

[Bigeasy]

We are comparing apples and pears. Both magnificent players who are fantastic to watch.

 

[jiphoc]

coming back to playing his best you mean

I have seen alot of carlton play this year, being at the games he does not seam to control the game like he used to. He just seams to be another brilliant midfielder, in the same group as many more. Gary Jnr is the new Judd.

 

[Carn Hawkas]

Buddy. On his way to becoming the greatest of all time.

 

[crawf_legend]

Buddy. Obviously! He is the one to watch!
