Opinion Cripps or Judd

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Crazy reading this thread, comparing Cripps to one of the all time greats. Posts suggesting he is a better captain and will go on to have more success at Carlton. Not even 12 months later people want to push him out the door for draft picks.

While I'll always say Judd barring a complete reversal of fortunes I feel like you did Cripps dirty by bumping this.

I didn't bump it. I just got here!!!

People were questioning Cripps 2020,2021 and now 2023.

He's been frustrating for awhile now.

THIS WOULD BE FITTING!

Still gives me chills.

Not me. This year he is struggling, maybe its the weight of the Brownlow, or the expectation has not lived up to where we are. Nut he is definitely down on confidence. No idea how he gets his mojo back, but hopefully during the bye the boys get a few days off to get their heads right and come like the team we all know and love.

Judd for me. More consistent and explosive power

 

[RAPPA]

We saw the best of Cripps. West Coast got the best of Judd.

Judd was just an out and out freak

 

[Gointocarlton]

Love Crippa but Judd

 

[Jatz]

It's Judd by a lot.

 

[Accidental genius]

Judd by a fair margin.

Judd had footballing skill and IQ.

Cripps more of a beast than a skillfull player.

WCE Judd everyday of the week
Carlton Judd it’s a-lot closer but Juddster still the man

What about that block for Judd in the first goal, we don’t do that now, all chasing kicks…

Judd.

Never put up a poor year. Was a superstar from start of his career right to the end.

Could play on the inside or outside.

Still the best mid I think I've seen in my time (35)

Judd at Carlton was still better than anything Cripps has done.

Judd had the ability to put the team on his back and carry them to victory, by possessions or goals or taking an overhead mark.

He also won a brownlow at Carlton and was all Australian captain while at Carlton, just saying…

 

[Michael Jezz]

Judd by a mile
Judd took the whole side on his back to the finals
Cripps took the wholeside on his back and it broke him

 

[bmaurizio]

Judd was an amazing & consummate footballer, then there’s a distinction for exceptional generational greatness, Chis Judd belongs proudly on this pedestal too.

 

[goreds]

I think it’s a bit harsh to be comparing these two…

As it has been stated above, Judd was a once in a generation footballer. A 75% Judd has Cripps covered…

 

[haveago]

Nothing in it.
By the time Crippa is done he will IMO go past Judd and I rate Juddy as the best I have seen for us!

 

[Pinnell]

Cripps bleed Blue. Judd was about Judd. Still is

 

[Juice030103]

can’t count Judds years as an Eagle


If Crippa can win a flag I think it’s over. Could actually be our best ever (so could Charles)

 

[Juddernaut08]

Talent-wise it's Judd. He had a higher peak despite being with us for less time.

As a Blues great though, I'm hopeful it will be Cripps. Certainly we've already achieved more success with Cripps at the helm (making a prelim)

 

[Jatz]

Yeah still Judd for me. Honestly don't think Patty can surpass him from here, purely as a player.

As a captain he certainly could/has.

 

[T2B_]

I think we forget just how good and freakish Judd could be. Saw him do things singlehandedly as a midfielder that bordered on absurd.

But yes taking nothing away from Paddy, as an all round leader and physical presence he comes out on top.
