Re: 2011 Player Review - BF wants you!
#5 – Chris Judd (Captain)
The Context. After an outstanding season in 2010 some of us wondered if Chris Judd could keep up his Brownlow winning form. Surely no player, even with the once in a generation talent of Judd, could keep shouldering the heavy midfield load that Chris absorbed? Fortunately, in 2011 his midfield compadres produced the best seasons of their young careers. Marc Murphy had a sublime breakout year, and Mitch Robinson crashed into every contest in a way that frightened his opponents, his parents, and probably his own teammates.
So did Chris take an easier road in 2011? Maybe rest up forward more often, play an outside midfield role a bit more? What’s remarkable is that Judd took his game to yet another level in 2011. His contested ball work, his ability to create clearances where no human had a right to do so, his gut running, and his displays of sheer football brilliance left no one in doubt. In 2011 we had the privilege of watching football genius at work. His peers in the AFL Players Association recognised this, overwhelmingly voting Chris the Most Valuable Player in the land, and Best Captain. He also came second in the John Nicholls Medal, and selected in the All Australian team of 22. The experts began debating where Chris Judd stood in comparison with the all time greats of the game. He was the runaway Brownlow favourite among virtually all observers – except it seems the umpires. Well, maybe the ledger has been squared with Dane Swan.
Key Statistics
* Games: 24 in 2011, 222 in career, 134 with West Coast
* Disposals: Total 633, K 301, HB 332 (at 26.4,12.5,13.8), efficiency 66.5%
* Contested possessions: 333 at 13.9
* Clearances:159 at 6.6; Inside 50s: 105 at 4.4
* Marks: 69 (7 contested); Tackles: 148 at 6.2
* Supercoach: Average 115.6
* Quirky stat: Drinks out of two drink bottles when on the interchange bench
Performance. In his fourth season in Navy Blue, Chris was Carlton’s leading player in terms of contested possessions (333 at 13.9), clearances (159 at 6.6), tackles (148 at 6.2), handballs (332 at 13.8), and goal assists (33 at 1.4). He was second in total disposals (633 at 26.4), and third for inside 50s (105 at 4.4). Let’s take a moment to unpack these stats. Judd’s contested possessions and clearances from stoppages place him in a category only a few AFL players can aspire to. He creates enormous drive by winning the contested ball and handballing off to a teammate. If the opposition has the ball, then they better get rid of it quickly or Chris will lay one of his 148 tackles. He has a presence and influence in games that no doubt inspires teammates and earns the respect of opponents.
Best game/s. If we had to single out games to showcase Judd’s prowess, then let’s look at the Collingwood R17, Sydney R6, and Essendon R18 games. Against the Pies Chris had 35 possessions with a staggering 23 contested and 9 clearances. Against Sydney Judd went further. He finished with 25 contested possessions and 15 clearances. That is not a misprint. In one passage of play in Q4 Chris ran along the boundary line under intense pressure, kept his feet, controlled the elusive ball, and kicked to White in space near the goals. Brilliant. Carlton had not won at the SCG since 1993. It was a massive team effort and Judd played a major role in what was arguably a season defining come from behind win.
The Bombers game was football bliss for Carlton supporters. This is when AW did his SkyWalker thing. In the first quarter Judd contested for a mark in the goal square, gained possession somehow, then shaped to handball, but Garlett was in traffic, so Judd held back until Betts came streaming through to receive and then goal. All of this in just a fleeting moment.
Personal milestones. Chris played his 200th AFL game against Gold Coast in Round 2 and kept up his elite form through most of the season. He seemed to be moving more freely than in the recent past. But he picked up an ankle injury mid-season and yet had the tenacity to play through it.
On 26 July, Chris and Rebecca welcomed the arrival of their first child, Oscar. Some BigFooty wags congratulated Bec for her timing. The early arrival on Tuesday meant Chris could play the Friday game against North. Others noted that Oscar is definitely a Judd – the nurses put a tag on him almost immediately.
What now for 2012? Carlton supporters will be hoping that Chris’ body holds up and allows him to continue to express his talents. Hard bodied taggers have been repeatedly pitted against him. The Club has tried to find personnel to share the load, and to an extent this is happening, but more work needs to be done to assist the champion.
It’s hard to talk about deficiencies in his game given how good Judd is. Yes his efficiency is not great at 66.5%. But if we look at how congested the play is when he wins the ball, then turnovers are hardly surprising. Kicking at goal is a more genuine area that could be improved with 14 goals 16 behinds. And when the time does come for him to play more up forward then accuracy is an area Chris could work on.
In 2011 we had the privilege of watching Judd’s contribution to the Carlton Football Club. It is the hope of many that, sometime soon, the heroic efforts of Chris Judd and his teammates will be rewarded with that sweet taste of success in September.

I could have sworn it was a five year deal, did we extend it at some point?

Judd doesn't strike me as a Bradley who will play 300 games. Seems too competitive to move to away from the coal face and play a more "marginal" position at half back like Braddles. Hope I'm wrong. It would be great to see Juddy go on as long as Goodes who got to 300 games.

Good stuff. I think we should all feel warm and cozy that without the captaincy, the threat of retirement, the VISY deal shenanigans hanging over Juddy, he's still a freakin' weapon who plays for Carlton and will do so for >=2 years more.
The quieter and more under-the-radar Juddy is, the better. He'll still TERRIFY teams come September.

Judd freshens up
Judd freshens up
Can't wait to see him out there on Thursday night. He might be nearing the end of his career but he's still a brilliant player who has plenty to offer. Hopefully we are able to lessen the pressure on him not just by passing on the captaincy but by sharing the on-field work load more evenly than we have in years gone by.

He lifted in the 3rd quarter and if it wasn't for those two undisciplined goals we gave away we would of run over the top of them. Whether or not he flips a coin at the beginning of a game he is still a fantastic leader.

Liking his role up forward that could keep him fresh compared to the grind of the midfield.
The rumours of his demise are greatly exaggerated.

Good point RK and well spotted E. Up forward Chris can hit the ball hard and run clear to have shot on goal. I admire Judd's ability to find clean air. Down back a few times the boys have been under pressure and the handball goes to the next player who is also under pressure. But players like Judd even when they are under pressure have an ability to find a teammate in space. We then turn defence into attack and run away with the ball. Wonderful to watch.

Skipper makes impressive Marc
It would be a dream come true if Judd plays on for at least another season.
