Chris Judd eye gauging Michael Rischitelli

[Warsaw]

Chill, he was just tickling his eye.

 

[ryzket]

Just heard on the radio, Judd saying he was pushing on a pressure point behind his ear or something.

Weird thing to do, lol

 

[Thrawn]

He's gone.

I don't know why some people are actually defending it, it was a stupid thing to do. Total brain fade, and it will cost him a couple of matches.

Just remember, just because he is Chris Judd doesn't mean he's immune to criticism. Disappointed he did that, what was he thinking? The explanation doesn't do it great justice either. I am hoping his honesty in this will help.

 

[The Coach]

Absolutely right! Judd himself was just on the Ten news basically admitting what he did was stupid and he expects it to be looked at. It was a weak act and while he tried to describe it as an attempt to hit a "pressure point" in front of the ear, an explanation that just made him look like a bigger idiot, he knows he got busted.

If someone had done the same thing to Judd, Carlton fans would be bleating!

He deserves weeks based on vision which shows he gouged a player's eyes while the player was pinned to the ground under a pack. Judd's media comments tonight were basically an admission he has done the wrong thing.

Go Lions!

Fact is - it would barely be newsworthy if it was Wiggo or JR.

i agree. he's done this before and was lucky not to get anything. people need to remember there is a big difference between tough and dirty

So now Juddy is a dirty player

He's gone.

I don't know why some people are actually defending it, it was a stupid thing to do. Total brain fade, and it will cost him a couple of matches.

So what is it that you are saying he has done - so that I know whether to defend him against your emphatic assessment

this is the AFLs golden poster boy? lol

Seriously, it doesn;t look good but a closer look on you tube, from front on he didn;t seem to really gouge, and Rischitelli didn;t remonstrate just got up and continued to play. IMO looking at the footage from behind Judd it looked worse than it really was.

It;s a big deal cos it's Chris Judd.

 

[kickavic]

its not gouging, but its not footy either

 

[MacMum]

Thankyou Thrawn for YOUR honesty and unbiased opinion...a pleasant change


for others who think there was nothing to it......check AFL board, thread "Judd scrapes Riscitelli's face" p.20..post 297....photo clearly shows a finger in Riskas eye..

There may have been no damage, but that is not the point...
His explanation needs investigating as well, as that also could have been dangerous...

Pressure point indeed!!....hhmpff!!

The Juddster has really let himself down here AGAIN.

Driving your fingers into someone's eye-sockets is a horrendous, despicable act.

It beggars belief that one of the icons of the game has such a serious character flaw.

Very disturbing.

 

[chopperduck]

I think he is probably right in what he has said, i think he was going for some point behind his ear. At the ground to me it looked like he was rubbing his thumb in riska's ear. Point is, its still not right, and i think you'll find isn't within the rules of the game.

This is what we are defending him against.

Driving / eye sockets GET OFF THE ****ING GRASS

no doubt he had mischievous thoughts but your description is plain ridiculous

I suppose Geelong supporters would have a fair bit of knowledge of icons that have serious character flaws. Newsflash!!! It is not unusual for successful, gifted people in all walks of life to have character flaws, some a lot worse than running a finger across someone's eye (gifted music guru, Phil Spector is currently serving jail time for killing his partner).

Your hysterical description "driving your fingers into someone's eye-sockets" demonstrates that your post is less about concern for Rischitelli & more about taking a 'pot-shot' at Judd.

At this stage I would prefer that this matter be left up to the AFL's MRP to make a determination on, rather than some 'nuff-nuffs' on BF who have their own private agendas.

 

[kickavic]

he looked like a blind guy trying to work out if that was really his wife underneath him

 

[blue gunslinger]

I thought that was Teflon Buddy

 

[kickavic]

there is no doubt judd is one of the games best on-ballers... but do u think he would have this god-like status if he was never flanked by cousins and kerr?

 

[maceman]

Judd used a gauge?

Yeah, I reckon he gauged whether to gouge or not Once he gauged, he decided to gouge. Next thing you know he'll paunch then maybe punch

Judd joins Carlton in 2008, after a 15th place finish in 2007, 2 years later Carlton play finals.

Cousins joins Richmond in 2009, after a 9th place finish in 2008, Richmond finish 2009 in 15th place.

Kerr stays with the Eagles, who finished 5th in 2007 & 2 years later they finish 11th.

Who was flanking who?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Opposition supporters will do well to steer clear here. It is not the main board and you need to tread carefully.

I just realized the Bichmond under-achievers are actually chasing a victory of sorts - Juddy not being available for Rnd1 next year

I suspect it wouldn't make any difference to the result. We managed to beat them the last time Judd missed a game.

Fortunately it appears that Rischitelli has avoided serious eye damage.
No decent football supporter could defend the actions of Judd. Making light of such an incident shows a complete lack of respect for the moral integrity of our great game.

 

[The Flying Doormat]

No that would be Nathan Bock.

That would be Nathan Bock, again.

Kickavic - what an original name. Why not use KayGee or Studlee.
Stick to the Chardonnay, you idiot.

It seemed like it was obvious that the players knew. Riska did remonstrate to a degree. He did grab Judd's jumper and attempted to push him away. And then Rich had clearly seen it, because he wasn't happy with the Juddster.

But the reaction should have no influence on the charge. Just because someone doesn't react doesn't make it acceptable.

And by the way, the apostrophe button is the one to the right

Step away from the screen sir or you will be fortunate to avoid serious eye damage as I am an indecent football supporter

Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick

[Mad Bomber Sean]

My massive respect for Judd just got a bit thinner ..

Why the hell did he bother ??? I wasnt like you guys needed to do that to win the game? I really dont understand it.

Does Chris try to use this pressure point stuff on Twiggs to shut her up after she's had a nose full of coke ?
