Chris Judd among the elite James Hird
They are raising the bar and challenging Judd for the title of No.1, but in my mind the way Judd has evolved his game shows he understands footy and what it takes to be consistently brilliant.

Judd silenced a few critics with his second half against West Coast last Saturday. Back on Subiaco we saw him run away from players again. It was great to see, but surely these one or two acts do not define greatness.

In my opinion, what makes Judd great is his work ethic and ability to win the ball under extreme pressure.

Ablett and, more recently, Hodge know what it is like to play under the sort of pressure Juddy is under week in, week out.

The only difference between the three is the assistance the others get from their teammates.

At the moment Carlton is not as good as Geelong or Hawthorn and it does not have their depth of midfield players.

Looking at Judd's career numbers tells us a story about his looseball versus hardball gets. In his first three years at West Coast he won 53 per cent of his contested ball in looseball situations, and 47 per cent in hardball situations. This enabled him to use his pace and agility to cut through the packs and burst clear.

Since 2004, his breakout year, the percentages have slowly become much bigger for hardball gets. In fact, so far this season he is averaging 31 per cent looseball gets to 69 per cent hardball gets.

This means he can no longer break free from packs as it's almost impossible to break free from hardball situations.

Judd looking forward to kicking more goals
Judd says the expected reduction in soaring interchange rotations next season, with the bench now cut from four men to three and a substitute, will mean more time for him inside the attacking 50 metres.

"A lot of it is about just spending more time in the forward line,'' he said. ''It would be good to have that opportunity to go up there and try and snag a few more [goals].''

Blues set to fire: Judd
Judd said his men were ready to prosper.

''I think so. A lot of our players are getting to that age where they have played three or four seasons of footy and have the same number of pre-seasons under their belt,'' he said.

''That's usually the age when players really start to make some significant steps.''

''It would be great for us to win a final, it would be great for our Melbourne supporters to get to see us play a home final,'' Judd said.

''It's not something we sit down and put ceilings on where we want to finish. We want to improve every year and [next] year is no different.''

Pierik should be pumping up the likes of North, Melbourne and Essendon who missed the finals last year.

Maybe this explains it....

1,2,3,4...who do you think they barrack for?

This is the bit in the video i like most.

He fully realises how hard it is to win a flag.

Alot of the champs have never won one, and it shows how much experience he does have and that quote summed it all up.

Gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.

THE death of the hard tag will help ensure dual Brownlow medallist Chris Judd reaches new levels this season, according to Carlton assistant coach Alan Richardson. Richardson said that with the soundness of Judd's body, an improving midfield and the health of support act Brock McLean, the Carlton skipper would be an even scarier proposition for opponents.

Judd, 27, could hardly have achieved more at Carlton, winning three consecutive best-and-fairest awards and last year's Brownlow Medal.But Richardson said he might have another gear.

"People say he can't improve. Well, I think he will improve," he said.

"Physically he's flying and he's still relatively young, with a body doing the right thing by him. I would be surprised if he didn't keep improving."

I hope Richo is right and Judd takes it to another level in 2011. How scary is it to think that he can actually be better than he has so far in his career? If I was coaching another other team, I have no idea what I would do with Judd when they play Carlton.
 
Well another superb performance from our Captain last night. Once again was in pretty much everything as usual, and it is no surprise that when we seemed to be struggling CJ steps up and ignites the entire team.
His goal at the start of the last quarter was just the tonic our boys needed for them to lift and get back the intensity that we were showing in the first half.
So many time's he is the one that steps up when we need it and the others just seem to follow.
On last night's performance I dont think it would be out of place to think he will, once again, be right up there on the Monday before the GF.
 
All the talk is about the Gold Coasts first game, everyone is forgetting that the best player of the last decade and the reigning brownlow medallist:) is set to play his 200th this weekend.. Good luck juddy and let's hope your'e only half way through

200 up

"I still remember starting up AFL football and wondering if I'd ever play a single senior game," he said.

"My real strong focus was to just play a senior game so I've been very lucky to play in some really good teams, achieve some success and hopefully we've got one last roll of the dice at this footy club.

"It does feel like a lot of footy, but hopefully there's a bit more left. I certainly feel very excited to be playing at the minute because we think this club's got a pretty good story to tell."

Cousins led the way on training, says Judd

For all his faults, Cousins remained a meticulous trainer during his career and stressed to Judd the need to focus on improving areas he felt were important. ''[It was] based around taking real ownership over your training, not just having an attitude of just coming to the club, being told what to do and going away and doing it,'' Judd said yesterday.

''But having some real control over what you want to work on and how you want to prepare for the game, because when you are out there on the ground, you want to be 100 per cent confident that you have done what you need to and you haven't just followed the instructions of what someone else thinks you need to do to get ready.''

Judd said Sydney's Adam Goodes had been his toughest opponent, while he rated his 39 possessions, four goals and eight tackles against the Brisbane Lions at Subiaco in round five, 2006, his best performance.
