Judd rumours grow, but he'll play Cats

[Silvagnis]

It's sad to watch.

He's gone from an explosive line breaker to a hard ball feed out. He's not breaking tackles, he's not taking running bounces, he's not a scoring threat, he's not running down players. The way Kepler Bradley got around him last week showed he has no lateral movement. The way he had two set shots for goal fall short from 35-40 m last week showed he has no leg power. He looks exactly the same as he did for all of last year (post injury).

He's still good enough to win a hard ball in congestion but he's a shadow of himself if he cant break tackles, burst to space, carry - then deliver.

The Blues would be better off resting him for the rest of this year.

A WCE fan dishing out advice on player management?

Next you'll tell us we did the wrong thing with Angwin and Norman...

If Judd needed the rest he shouldn't of played in HoF Tribute Match and if has affected him not having a break then he let the team down by playing.

The player will always put up his hand. Dont blame him for that.

Someone else needs to take the decision out of his hands. You dont need him this year - will he be there when you do?

Hi guys,

Did anyone see him train today?

I'm getting sick of the speculation regarding his groin but he does seem like he is not 100%. Does anyone know how long it takes to recover from such an injury? I'd like to see him rested for a few weeks if needed.

From what i saw last week against Freo he seemed like he wasnt 100%,and if he isnt they should just rest him untill he is fully fit..

Judd is a wonderful player and its sad to see him play at only 50% capacity. Personally they should rest for the year and get him fit and healthy for next season.
