Chris Judd

Settle down a bit, that post was referring to SkankDankers comment claiming that Judd has never been a DT gun...

How many trades have you got Porpz and how many will it take you to upgrade Judd?

Lol! Sorry!!!

Um.. i have 5 trades left and if I upgrade Wonna this week it will take me another 2 UNLESS i downgrade him to Sam Mitchell.

Judd is so over-rated in DT, at the start of the year everyone was drooling over his low price when obviously Murphy was always going to score higher, as Murphy can take a mark and doesn't get the no.1 tag.
Judd needs 30+ disposals to break 100 whereas good DT players should only need 20. He breaks the lines but in DT that doesn't matter.

A few other classic examples are Mcleod and Gram, and to a lesser extent Gilbee and Kerr, however Kerr does rack up the tackles but handballs too much...

Judd has always been a premium SC player, but never a premium DT player. There are only 7 midfielders who fall under the category of premium DT mids:

Ablett
Corey
Bartel
Thompson
Swan
Kornes
Cross

Marc Murphy and Lenny Hayes are just below this however Murphy could become elite in by the end of this year.

So in answering your question, no Judd is not an elite/premium DT midfielder.

I think you need to add scotland to that list. Averaged 104 in 2006 and 100 in 2007. Struggled early on in the year with the inclusion of judd and stevens but has bounced back and averaged 100 in the last 6 weeks. Highly underrated i believe.

Do you think I should upgrade Judd this week?

8 trades left and about 250k in the bank.

Who are your other mids? If you don't have any of the biggies (Thommo, The Bald One or Swan) I would consider it...

As I said Judd has never been a great (elite) DTer, but as a seventh he would be just fine, particularly after the break. Even with 8 trades I would only trade him out if the rest of your team is pretty established - particularly the second tier backs who are all rubbish.
