Just out of interest, where can I get some odds on who said those things?
Perhaps a starting market would look like:
$1.20 - martyk
$1.40 - Renegade
$1.45 - WE Are Geelong
A speckled hen on martyk please, bookie!
Number 29
On the Hawthorn v Essendon telecast, Andrew Maher was asked who he thought was the better midfielder, Gary Ablett or Chris Judd. Being a typical Carlton flog, he said Oh, Chris Judd", as if it was a no-brainer.
Ablett is so far ahead of Judd in just about every facet of the game it's laughable, and I just wish people would get over what they are sniffing with this Judd nonsense.
Obviously I'm preaching to the converted, but I think Ablett is the best midfielder I have seen ... and he's getting better!! Just think it needs to be said.

Re: Number 29
Ablett can mark and kick more goals. I think that's 2 more strings to his bow than Judd

I unfortunately missed Friday nights game, and of course, Gazza's performance.
Has anyone put up some footage on You Tube that you know of. If so, a link would be awesome.
Thanks, Cat fans.

LOL couldnt agree more. the sooner he starts having kids the sooner we all get to see GARY ABLETT JR JR play for the cats, and see the greatest grandfather/father/son combination in the history of world sport!!!
If he keeps this form up and doesnt win the brownlow then theres something wrong with the system, he is by far the best in the league at the moment (just ahead of buddy, but forwards dont win charlie)
Go the little bald one!!!
I think that last comment is a good idea, for Costa or the Greater City of Geelong to support the welfare of the club by provision of a fund that supports the birth of more boys.
Government will chip in their 7grand, then city of Geelong puts in another 20 for a boy (especially if they've played over 100 games for F/S eligibility).
Got to love father/son rule. I'm amazed by how good Jnr has become, his ability to win a contested possession with the ball on the deck in between a number of opponents is just unbelievable. Even the commentators have a laugh at how easy he makes it look.
Also it is unbelievable that it only took the team to say something to his face that he 'could' be the best midfielder in the comp. It is inspiring that the team 'brought' this out of Gary.

Re: Number 29
and cousins was no slouch
cousins is was a much better player, and a player you would want in your team first, judd played the media well, and partially because of a chick in a red dress, which looked like it was styled by the daily planet
ablett and co 500 times better than judd

Re: Number 29
Cousins was an amazing player. Judd is great, but he isn't the most inspirational player. He just does the job and thats it. With Cousins though, you could practically see the entire team lift when he did one of his surging dashes. I think Ablett is the same. I consider him to be closer to Cousins then Judd purely because of the influential factor.
I think losing Cousins hurt the Eagles more then losing Judd. Cousins was their true leader, the one who constantly inspired them. With both him and Judd gone, the younger players had no one to turn to. Glass isn't a bad captain, but he isn't Cousins.

Re: Number 29
I reckon Kerr was the best of the WC trio. He was terrific again last night. He just seems to do everything.
I think Judd would probably struggle to get a run in our midfield right now - Corey, Ablett and Bartel are all better and Kelly this year has probably been as good. Not to say that Judd at his best isn't a terrific player, but as someone said, you have to judge on current form.

Absolute freak of a player. I always rated him extremely highly but this season he has gone above and beyond any expectation i had.
He is the best player in the comp right now and IMO he is playing better footy then any of the other elite midfielders have EVER played.
If he doesn't win the brownlow this year its criminal.

Re: Number 29
*ahem* I know Juddy is a little down on form currently (although he's still pretty damn good and almost certainly not 100% fit), but let's not get too carried away. Yes, I think I would pick Ablett at his peak over Judd at his peak, but only just. It's amazing how it only takes a couple of years of injury/form drop for us to forget (or at least diminish) how good Judd was. By all means let's enjoy Gaz's current form but let's also acknowledge that Judd is also one of the all-time stars of the game.
