JUDD will return to the EAGLES after Carlton

[SS_Fury]

hahha..see your putting words into my mouth...i never said he left for money and money only..i said it was more likely a combination of things, including money as just one of them...where you got the rest from is just a fabrication..have a look, i said noone really knows the exact reason but the man himself...that is all my argument ever was...you and your parrot friend decided to jump on the whole head in the sand thing

 

[HBF]

If you heard him speak last night, there is no way on gods green earth that Judd will leave Melbourne again. NEVER.

 

[SS_Fury]

and i agree with that

 

[HBF]

and i agree with that

Fantastic.
As for the real reasons why he left, who knows, but what he has said to the press is that he wanted to come to Melbourne. I wouldn't have thought it would have been money, as West Coast would have been paying him top dollar over there anyway.

 

[normsmith]

how much more evidence is needed. do you live under a rock or something...

Gibbs Simpson Walker say no more
Stevens slow as a wet week.

Leaves Judd and Murphy,yep those two are good but you will need more than a two man midfield.

A shame they're not as talented as Selwood, Hurn, Rosa, Stenglein, Waters and Butler.

Gibbs would be the best young player on your list by a long way.

At least Mitch Brown has huge lats.

So no thread on your board then?
Oh well, maybe next time.

The MAIN reason Judd left was to escape the Weagles rampant Drug Culture. That was very very obvious, and many people were talking about him leaving for that very reason at the start of Season 2007. When a premiership Captain refuses to re-commit to his Club and the start of the season, right in the middle of the exposure of a massive drug-scandal cover-up at Weagleland, the writing is on the wall. Your soul-less regional franchise is a pathetic mess, and has tarnished the reputation of our great game. We should think twice about allowing such regional Tack-on-Clubs into our competition in the future. In hindsight one Freagle team was enough.

I can think of 36 million reasons why people who live in glass houses, such as yourself, should refrain from throwing stones.

Absolutely he made it crystal clear!

No he would not.

We all know this was a silly thread, but lets not get carried away. If you are going to make statements like that at least make them realistic.

Gibbs has got a long way to go and would not have played any where near 22 games last year for WCE IMO.

Say no more - they are quality kids with huge futures in front of them.
Stevens isn't quick, but he can play. I suspect he'll have a huge 2008.

Didnt know this thread was still going..
Bluebear i dont have the time and energy to spend on such a pointless argument. Read HBF's post:

'Fantastic.

Im not arguing a point that is going to fall on deaf ears. I however stand by my belief that no-one really knows apart from Judd himself all of the reasons why he left. As i said, it was probably many, including his relationship with cousins, money, life after football with pratt (judd=environmentalist) etc etc.....to say i have my head in the sand and he left purely based on our so called disgraceful drug culture who, by the way, are lucky to be even let into the competetion according to your parrot...well...retorts like these dont 'Keep it civil' as you wish, therefore i simply cannot be stuffed

Sorry about the cut and paste, but I couldn't be bothered typing it again:

(from the previous page for those who wish to IGNORE what Judd has ACTUALLY SAID)

When Judd signed with the club he said:

“I’m not big into pizzazz,” Judd said. “I think there was an article calling me and Bec the Posh and Becks [Victoria and David Beckham] of Melbourne, and that’s really not us.

“I want to play my footy, I want to train hard, contribute as much as I can to the footy club and other than that, you know, I don’t want to be a rock star.”

Pizzaz and Rock stars? Who would he be talking about?
Any ideas? Hmmmm.....not referring to the "rock star" status of WCE players in Perth is it?

and now at a club function he has said

He basically said he was really glad to get out of WCE, especially now that the investigation is going down over there. I stood next to him during the speeches...and he kept shifting his feet, and doing groin stretches, and at one point had to sit down. Let's hope the groin gets itself settled! He said he'd be right to play at around the 4th practice match.

SS.......despite your complaints, you do seem to spend an awful amount of time and energy arguing this "pointless arguement"...........will you respond, or be true to your word and grow tired of semantic debates?

 

[HBF]

Could Judd have just said that he didn't want to be a rockstar, meaning that he didn't want to be hounded by the press, and giving interviews every other day. I reckon Judd is too smart a footballer, and person. by comparing the rockstar quote to anyone in Perth.

Plus, given that Perth is such a fishbowl, just about every footballer over there is treated like a rockstar.

 

[audas]

Perth is the most isolated city on earth, which by definition hosts the most insular people on earth. The Parochial, myopic, intellectually and culturally deficient psyche of its locals lends to a reactionary, defensive posture to their exceptional eastern counterparts.

Apparently they have lots of rocks and have a special pub where they like to get pissed on Sundays. Says it all really.

 

[Dramoth]

norman, angwin....pot kettle black

We can to and fro all day like kids: but the fact remains we are all speculating...my OPINION is that we are ALL right and it ALL had a bit to do with it. Money, 'culture' etc etc.
Tack on club eh parrot? keyboard warrior on your own board arent you

Angwin... talented, but we sacked his ass
Norman... talented... sent him to the ants to get his head straight because Angwin was the instigator... in the end, he couldnt get himself sorted out, so we let him go...

Cousins... Associating with a known gangster... Isnt affecting his playing football, lets turn a blind eye. Pissing drinking and running from a booze bus... just take the captaincy from him... lets not bother sending him for councilling... he doesnt need it... he is our champion brownlow medal winner... Admitting that he has been taking speed... lets get the AFL to fork out for his rehad and lets just suspend him for 13 weeks... he will get himself sorted out.

Mainy dies from a drug overdose and the last person to see him is Cousins... an admitted drug user... kinda shocking there, but hey... a club champion has just died, lets concentrate on that...

Cousins gets pulled over with a bunch of illegal drugs in his car and "apparently" a half naked chick and no script for the drugs...

After 4 years, you ***** finally sacked the prick... How many times has Cuz ****ed the club and the supporters up the arse in all the time that he has been there...????????

Pyro666s' dad taught the **** at school so he knows what a prick Cuz really is...

And you have the audacity to say that we are the same as the West Coke eGirls concerning drugs...

Get it all right and maybe you can start comparing yourself to us... and if we have a constant offender like Cuz on our list, we might be like you w***ers...

Hold on Audas...

While yes, they might be the worlds most isolated capital city in the world and have the life style of a small country town...

There are some nice people there... Pyro666 and his new wife are two I want to mention and most of my friends there are also pretty nice... but then again... none of them are west coke egirl supporters to be honest.

And admittedly, they do have a special pub on sundays where they like to get pissed... it's called the Leederville and it is usually a good day out considering that a lot of the patrons there these days are Rugby Union supporters who are from all walks of life who immigrated to WA from NZ, ZA and even England.

There is also a great sports bar up in West Leederville called J.B. O'Reilly's... but once again... most of the patrons whenever I went there were rugby fans and were all cool.

Ummm if you are into the same sort of substances that Mr Cousins likes, Northbridge is the place for you...

Outside of that, the rest of the place is full of redneck and chavs... kinda depressing really

The rednecks and chavs invaded from the east chasing the resources boom dollar. Perth was perfectly lovely before that. But you just keep deluding yourself, we like that you're ignorant about the place, as it leaves more for us to enjoy.

lol. So now Victorians are to blame for 5+ years of the rampant out-of-control drug culture at Weagleland. Unbelievable. The whole thing is an ever escalating mess. If the Weagleland CEO came out at the start of the year, and admitted to the extent of the drug problem, rather than attempting a massive, scandalous continuation of the coverup that had been going on for years, he would have earned some respect. But instead the public were fed a litany of lies from these franchise cronies. Cousins received some "token rehab" and was rushed back into the side ASAP, when it became clear Judd was carrying an injury, and was no longer able to carry the Weagles single-handedly like he did in 2006. No concern for Cousins health. Just disgraceful. The AFL may need to appoint an administration at Weagleland, in order to stop the rot. These are the reasons Judd wanted out. Can you blame him?

LOL...

I am ignorant of the place...

Like **** I am...

I lived in the place for about 20 years of my life... I think that I am qualified to talk about a place that I know extremely well...

It has my favorite beach in the world... Cotts closely followed by the port beach...

It used to be great down on the beach until about 4 when you would wander upto the OBH for the afternoon sess and then home.

But it is all those homegrown redneck losers and chavs from Balga and Girraween that are spoiling the place and not the people coming from the east... If it wasnt for those people, Perth would really be one of the biggest shitholes in the world. Because if it wasnt for their money coming in Perth wouldnt have grown like it has.

You can think of them but they would be invalid. None of that $36mill fine has anything to do with the Carlton Football Club. It involved none of our employees, did not impact on the club in any way, and was over before Pratt came to Carlton.

There are plenty of threads on Visy and Pratt throughout BF .... suggest you utilise those.

 

[Beloved]

Oh god, here we go again. Judd wouldn't want to leave, just to return later. It defeats the purpose of coming to Victoria to be with his family, with his faaamily, not his extended family in the form of the Eagles.

 

[greennick]

Perth is the most isolated city on earth, and it shows.

Most isolated state capital, not the most isolated city...

I can't see why people are defending the place so much on an internet forum. If they live here, they know what is good about the place, no need to get in a petty argument on whether or not it is a hole.

The people over East have nothing to do with Perth's resurgence however, that shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what is going on here. You see, Perth is experiencing this largely as a result of the mining boom. Those people are coming here on the back of that boom as it offers superior job opportunities compared to where they are from. A lot of people I know have also come over for the lifestyle as they feel Perth is a very easy place to live. Anyway, I'm not going to defend the place, whether or not you like it is up to you, just setting a few facts straight. Being the fastest growing capital city in the country is a fair indication there is something to like about the place.

Every place you've named is full of posers and punces. No wonder you've got bugger all good to say about the place.
