Josh Kennedy Was Told

[BlueFan4]

When we drafted Kennedy, we told him that we will build our future around him and Murphy, pretty disappointed in Carlton, but we got Judd.

 

[setanta17]

well to be honest the club really had no other alternative as WC were playing hard ball

 

[Lajon]

boo hoo.. all you whingers will be cheering as loudly as anyone when Juddy bursts through the middle of a stoppage, clears the ball and delivers it lace out to Fevvy.

Bump sound from under computer desk.

 

[setanta17]

kennedy is only 20 so i think it was harsh to force him out

 

[Free Willy]

Similar thing happened in 92 with Minton-Conell. (Diesel trade)

3 years later we won the 95 premiership with Diesel winning the Norm Smith.

Some times hard business decisions need to be made.

Sad for Josh, we all liked him, he loved our club......... sad, but we have JUDD.

 

[BlueFan4]

Im just saying i dnt like the way it was handled by the CFC, but im over the moon we got juddy.

 

[Salaryman]

I wonder if there is a statistically significant correlation between the anti-tankers and the anti-judders?

 

[TOA.]

You told him all week he was required and will not be traded. 4pm yesterday he was told he was not required.

Probably could have been handled better by not telling him all week he was staying.

After Josh ahs spent the summer with his family, and caught up woth his high school mates, he won't look back.

I'm sad to see him go, but some of the anxiety over the deal this week is spilling over as misplaced emotion.

Josh has gone in 3 days from a maligned dud in the eyes of some, to the centre piece of our resurgence..........even those who rated him here thought he wouldn't be a superstar.......just a very good CHF.......

Yes, we are a bit light on for talls, but hey, Austin to CHF and Harts into the backline...........who will notice.

It was an equitable deal........or as equitable as it was ever going ot get.

We had to give up something, as did the WCE.

Both have lost, but both have gained.............lets move on.

Really?
So when Ratts spoke to him and Paul Bower about the possibility of being traded after Judd announced he was leaving his pathetic club behind.........he was then told he was a required player?

Hmmm, so why did Worsfold talk to him on Sunday?

Yeah, you know your stuff.

Did we?

 

[DamianBis]

Bluebear, Judd is still a 5 hour drive away from his home so it's not like he's really gone home.

Apparently his mother was really annoyed at him for going to west coast.

and punnished him by writing a song about him...don't think he'll do that again!

It was on CH 7 here in Perth. I get the feeling Loxley told the blokes unofficially.

one the money BB. Love josh but hey, its judd

 

[Jackfrost]

The sign of a good negotiation is when both parties are unhappy.

Well done Carlton, Judd was my hero

 

[Magnificence]

I wonder if there is a statistically significant correlation between the anti-tankers and the anti-judders?

Bingo!

 

[Dramoth]

I wonder if there is a statistically significant correlation between the anti-tankers and the anti-judders?

I was fully anti-tanking, but hey... Judd is one of the all time bests and he will be awesome for us...

I was never anti-judd... just said that the club didnt really need him to succeed in the future.

 

[btdg]

I wonder if there is a statistically significant correlation between the anti-tankers and the anti-judders?

I was massively anti-tanking, and massively pro-Judd.

In fact, the same logic supports both. Anti-tanking was about competing as hard as possible in every match and providing value to supporters who paid to watch. Getting Judd is about, well, competing as hard as possible over the next few seasons, and providing value to supporters who pay to watch...

When we drafted Kennedy, we told him that we will build our future around him and Murphy

The future changes......... keep up!

 

[Faz 2000]

The most important thing about having a plan (eg. building future around Murphy and Kennedy) is knowing when to change the plan due to changing circumstances (eg. Chris Judd saying he wants in).

Ideally, yes, we'd keep Kennedy. And it could be a decision that bites us later. But... seriously... aside from Kennedy's supposed moping, I do not see ANY poor-handling by Carlton in this instance. They negotiated with WCE straight up, got the deal done at a price that left both parties going "hmmm... that was a lot to give up". Which is how a reasonable deal should feel.

Wasn't there a statement made by Carlton early in the week saying Josh would not be part of any Judd deal?

 

[Bluebear]

No.

Radio and newspapers reported that initially only pick three was on the table in response to the WCE initial bid of 1, 3, 20 and JK.

He was ALWAYS on the table - here on BF we had the deal 3, 20 and JK done over a month ago when Judd said he was leaving.

Secondly........we didn't lie to Josh, we have built a future around him and Murph.......Murph directly and JK in his trade value.

 

[HBF]

Wasn't there a statement made by Carlton early in the week saying Josh would not be part of any Judd deal?

Can't say that I recall that. The only player that was publically told was not going to be part of the Judd deal was Fevola.
