Miller upto his old tricks

[GhostofJimJess]

guys do we really want Judd.

Oh yes, we want Judd. No doubt about it.

But I'm totally with Cogga here - it must be completely on our terms, and Pick 2 need not even enter the deal. No.1 Pick in the PSD should ensure this.

Pick 1 -> Richmond
Pick 2 -> Carlton

Richmond agrees to ignore Judd in the PSD.

Isnt Francis Jackson our recruiting man????

SPEAK UP FRANCIS!

Yes he is and miller has apparently got nothing to do with our recruiting anymore - thank god for that

I've said it about a million times but we should do that deal, then pick Judd in the PSD anyway...

conspiracy theory from left field.

those who would have understood during the TW facade, re. interviews with prospective clubs, when he was only going to come to the tigers, would be thinking that what is unfolding with Judd is eerrily similar.

Could it be that the rumour doing the rounds a couple of months ago, that we were courting a big name is on the money and that big name is now making it look like he is going through the process, for the sake of looking like he hasnt already made his desicion to go to a club, that isnt one of the "preffered" clubs?

And when all the shit fighting amongst the "preffered clubs" goes nowwhere, wow gee, looky here, we have an uncontracted player in the PSD. Now what do you know?

Food for thought.

I have been thinking the same thing ever since the start of the season when Miller said we were at 92.5%. I thought "we are setting ourselves up to be the only team that can afford Judd".

At the time getting pick 1 in the PSD (hopefully!) didn't come into it. Now we have even better leverage. We have the pick and we have the cash.

Except that Weaver says no team is on 92.5% so Miller must have been lying.

we are at that, and we have richo and bowden to go on the veterans list. despite popular belief we are indeed cashed up to the eyeballs.

We have a fair bit of salary cap space available.

Money is tight however. If we wanted to pay 100% of the cap, we'd have to cut back hard in other areas like recruiting, coaching and player development.

you cant tell me that getting judd wouldnt pay for itself. increased memberships, gate receipts and sponsorships would far exceed his wages. get the best team on the park that we can, the club is mad not to. win games, and we make money. simple.

Don't know all the details of the deal but i have heard from a very reliable source that judd has committed to melbourne and that he will definately get there.

unfortunatley Darth, things are never that simple and with an approach not altogether different to that reckless idea, ol Clinton Casey lost us 2mn big ones over the course of a year...lets stick to the plan...$%#@ Judd and all he's worth

hope so, that would be very nice

WC would want more than pick 2 for Judd, Priddis and Waters. But I think you are on the right track. The Blues could offer to WC pick 19 and another player in addition to the deal you mentioned.

Carlton Pick 1 - Kruezer and Judd Lose: Pick 3, 19 and player
WC Pick 2 - Morton and 19 and player Lose: Judd, Priddis
RFC pick 3 - Cotchin and Priddis Lose: Pick 2

How does that sound?

NO CHANCE we can get priddis
west coast will not lose judd AND priddis in the same year

 

[Infamy]

Pick 1 -> Richmond
Pick 2 -> Carlton

Richmond agrees to ignore Judd in the PSD.

Stupid trade
Cotchin/Cale Morton & Judd > Kreuzer & Mitch Morton

If we wanted to do a trade like that then it would be Pick 1 & 3 for Pick 2 and agree to overlook Judd. Now that trade I would do.
