Judd is a Blue

[KUNG FU]

Thank Christ thats over. No more threads ever on that issue. 3, 20 & Kennedy as everyone seemed to think.

I can't wait to see what else transpires.

That's what it was always going to be. Can not believe they managed to drag it out until late Wednesday. Probably trying to talk JK around - who is said to be pretty upset, and I don't blame him really. Club has basically told him to get nicked, after he's just established a life for himself in Melbourne.

Juda$ got what he wanted. Plenty of cash. Mercenary.

West Coast probably miss out on Cotchin now, but you never know.

 

[bus24]

Now it's being said that it's not done!

Oh my, what a ****ing circus !!

Still, that will be the deal though.

 

[KUNG FU]

Oh Jesus. Delete this thread. This whole process is sickening!

 

[ShearMagic9]

Haha what a circus indeed.

What the hell is the hold up?

Gotta feel sorry for JK, but that's professional sport sometimes. It's not as though he doesn't know anyone in Perth either

 

[J-Ro-20]

the deal has NOT been done yet. its another media outlet getting ahead of themselves...

 

[crowsarethebest]

HAHAHA... This is pretty funny. When it is finally over we will see a billion trades go through... that is if it ever goes through.

That will be infinitely more interesting than this trade. Hope it happens.

I feel like making a thread called 'Pavlich a Crow' just to fit in around here

 

[RoosterLad]

Why would anyone feel for JK? He is going from a basketcase to one of the best clubs in the league. Judd has ruined his career by going to that shitty bunch of cheats, he smells like Pavlich who is also wasting what could have been a great career.

I never, ever feel for West Coast - but any system where a player of Chris Judd's calibre changes hands and the no.1 draft pick is 'off limits' is a joke.

He is probably the best player ever to be traded, accepting of course that King Carey was past his prime when he came to the Crows.

Was your mouth out

Ever heard of Darren Jarman

 

[RoosterLad]

That was the greatest trade ever.

I doubt that's true. No where else has reported it. Plus Kennedy would rather stay he said. http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=304481

 

[bus24]

I can't see how he could stay after the way he's been treated by Carlton. Nothing short of pathetic IMO.

I did say probably........

Darren was a champ, Modra, Rehn and Carey were all great players.

Jarman was perhaps the only one you could make any argument for, given the stage of the careers of the other 3 when they were traded.......

Judd is 24, club captain, brownlow winner, and an outstanding character.

I love Darren Jarman (what Crows supporter doesn't?), but sorry, I think Judd is well and truly the best player traded under the current system.

This Judd thing is blown way out....None of the clubs will win a flag with him alone. Carlton dont seem to realise this. He is their Great white hope. THey will lose more than they will gain.

All that will happen is WCE get stronger. Bad for us.

You are joking right? Of course no club will win a flag with any one player, but he will make a significant difference to any team.

Any trade which doesn't include the no.1 pick is really ripping off the WCE. While I have no sympathy for them, what it does is show the system is flawed.

I fail to see how Carlton will lose more than they gain by picking up Judd AND retaining their no.1 pick

Josh Kennedy is going to be a good player, and pick three could be value. Also Judd is not the player he was at start of year. He is having surgery and wont do a pre season. He will still be a good player but not Juddlike. We wont see his best till 2009 and then it wont be vintage Judd.

WCE are getting rid of him at the right time.

Gawd, washed up at 24 with his best footy behind him

Was leading the brownlow before he was injured.....

I think we'll have to disagree on this one

 

[jackster83]

If the Judd trade goes ahead, he will become the most targetted player on the field in the whole competition. Opposition players are really gonna get stuck into him (pity Glenn Archer retired) with verbal and physical banter. The crowds in Perth will be pretty hostile as well. I hope big Q Lynch slams into Judd and tears him a new one.

interesting point that:
What do outside clubs of those concerned in the deal, think of Judd? Do you still respect the man etc? Is he losing his shine?

Nobody respects a mercenary.

Great player - not a great man.

Yep my point.

The injury he copped will get worse over time and he wont be "juddlike" any more. He will have surgery in off season so will not have a decent preseason this year. Mid to late 08/2009 we will see what the new Judd is capable of. His surgery is not a cure but an adjustment.

He will be like Aker. Play a handfull of great games but more average games.

My prediction is that Carlton will get burnt.

I'm one of those that couldn't care less what footballers do outside of being, well.. a footballer...

Footballers are not my role models and are certainly not people i look up to, I just liked to be entertained and watch great football. I think Judd is a fantastic player and my opinion of him has not changed one bit.

I guess the same goes for me with Ben Cousins, I couldn't care less if he took all the drugs in the world, I only see him as a footballer and my opinion of him hasn't changed.

But thats me and I know a lot of people may feel differently.
