Low impact? I take it you were looking too close at the action around the ball, not away from it. Judd continuously brought different boys over and had a chat to them, and it definately showed in the last quarter

I was at the game with a family member who happens to follow the Blues.
I thought I'd tag along and see Juddy's first game for the Blues. After all, I am a footy supporter not just a Pies man.
He moved quite well for his first hit-out and he will be better for the run, despite perhaps being a little underdone come round 1. Major buzz everytime he got near it.
To answer the question, no Judd should not have been named in the best. That's not having a crack but it definitely was pre-season hype related as to how he was named in the best.
There were other better standout players ahead of Juddy- which is a positive thing for the Blues.
Overall, everyone will be happy he got through unscathed.

Bugger it, i'll repost my write-up here. Again keep in mind, i wrote this at 2:00am this morning.
First Quarter
The ground looks abolutely superb, definately AFL standards. The turn out was massive. I arrived 20 minutes into the game, but I do know that Judd was very out of sorts for the first 10 minutes, but controlled the game from then on. Grigg's first quarter was superb, getting his hands on the ball and using the disposal. Mistakes in the backline kept us down, and Murphy playing shakey football didn't help. Also not helping the cause, Andrew walker made his way off of the ground, punching the air in frustration that his shoulder had been injured again after missing a tackle, landing on his chest, his shoulder in an awkward situation.
Carlton: 3.5.23
Wester Bulldogs: 5.1.31
Goal Scorers: Jackson, Edwards, Fevola and ???(was before I arrived, sorry!)
Second Quarter
Edwards started the quarter at Full Forward, Fevola playing around the forward pocket. Kade Simpsons ability to cover ground was unbeleivable. Jarrod Waite's efforts in defence were top quality, making life easier for the midfield and backline, one most notably Bryce Gibbs. His disposal was pin point, and he had no lack of touches. Brendan Fevola remains inaccurate, but managed a goal throughout the quarter. Our backline started to look as though it was going to crumble, but alike the Port Adelaide pre-season game, they made us look pretty good. Paul Bower looked as though he could mark any possible kick whilst Marc Murphy was finding his feet. Jamison's efforts are top quality, not giving anything away. Nearer to the end of the quarter, Hartlett's attacking certainly lifted, competing for the ball at every opportunity. After a shakey start, Chris Judd's skills returned to those of his West Coast years, brilliant. It seemed as though the second quarter would be the quarter where we would be blown away, but Matthew Kreuzer's work in the ruck changed the tone, and kept the Blues alive.
Carlton: 6.7.43
Western Bulldogs: 9.4.58
Goal Scorers: Cloke, Fevola, Houlihan
Third Quarter
After an Edwards goal 50 seconds into the quarter, the Blues looked to storm ahead of the Bulldogs, especially after a follow up goal to Chris Judd, getting his name on the scoring list for the first time at Carlton after receeiving a handball, sending the ball through the sticks. Bannister was suprising during the quarter, lifting his tempo and playing decent football. Eddie Betts knew how to get his hands on the football, but was unable to get the ball off properly, his disposal letting him down. After Marc Murphy was reported for charging, Jarrod Waite made a super specky deep in the Bulldogs forward line over Chris Johnson, definately rattling him. Short after, Will Minson picked a fight with Jarrod waite in the Blues backline, a very silly idea, as the specky wasn't intended to hurt Johnson. The Bulldogs couldn't hit a target for a span of the quarter, assisted by Matthew Kreuzer's one percenters, opening the door for Carlton a fraction more. Minson was completely out classed by Jarrod Waite, while Houlihan was busy being his inventive self. Kreuzer earned himself a free kick in the forward line through and excellent tackle, not converted. Matthew Kreuzer was easily the best man on the field for Carlton during the quarter, depsite Judd's continuous good form. The Blues were able to get to players in space during the waurter, something they hadn't done often during the game.
Carlton: 10.11.71
Western Bulldogs: 11.7.73
Goal Scorers: Edwards, Judd, Russel, Fevola
Fourth Quarter
The last time the Blues would ever kick to the Heatley stand turned out to be a good one. While Bower was playing well from the Half Backling, Grigg easily picked out the free man in Heath Scotland in a packed forward fifty. His ability to cover ground and back up his decisions was amazing. A great kick from Adam Hartlett 45 metres out on the boundary line put the Blues up against the Dogs by 5, 79-74, although short lived. Eddie Betts received the ball right infront of goal, making a mess of it, rolling it too far across face. A successful kick would have the Blues up by 11. Kade Simpson moved very well all over the field, showing his great footy sence. Bryce Gibbs ability to get deep into packs led to a great mark from Jake Edwards to put the blues up again by 5, 86-81. Shortly after, Steven Browne was pushed in the back, leading to another Carlton goal putting the aheD 92-82. Jordan Bannister had no problem in getting his hands on the ball, but his disposal let him down. A quite Setanta O'hAilping was pushed to full forward, getting his hands on the ball and applying strong pressure on the Doggies backline. Ryan Jackson played great football furing the quarter. Bret Thornton made an excellent mark on the Half Back line, denying the Bulldogs access, although his disposal was off.
Carlton: 13.15.93
Wester Bulldogs: 12.12.84
Goal Scorers: Hartlett, Browne, Scotland
Overall Goal Scorers: Fevola (3), Edwards (2), Jackson, Judd, Russel, Cloke, Houlihan, Hartlett, Browne, Scotland and ???
I was pretty frustrated at times during the game, but the way we ended up moving the ball from the start of the second half (into space), everything seemed to flow. The handballs again were out to play, again the tactic not paying off, too many disposals. If we can utalise this tactic to best use, we would be a much better team. Judd's debut in navy blue came on a great day. A come from behind win on the last Blues game before the Heatley Stand is demolished was the best possible outcome, despite a walker injury.
According to Carrazzo, it doesn't look too good for Andrew.
"We've just been told he's gone to hospital and it's definately his shoulder. Unfortunately it doesn't look good," said Michael Jamison following the game.
Chris Judd all through out the game pulled players out and gave advice, great captianing.

Marc Murphy wore light orange and light blue Nike shoes after the game(ugliest things possible!).

Your spidey senses fail you, no sarcasim intended.
Aker was good until Grigg was moved onto him as a run with type player. Thought Grigg did well to shut him out of the game
Waite looks good down back. I hope this is his year!
OK guys... after seeing yesterday's game, what is your starting 22? Let's assume that Walker, Hampson, Fisher & Murphy are all unavailable for selection.
B: Bower Jamison Thornton
HB: Scotland Waite Hadley
C: Simpson Stevens Gibbs
HF: Edwards Hartlett Houlihan
F: Betts Fevola Carrazzo
Foll: Cloke Judd Bentick
I: Kreuzer Jackson Grigg Pfeiffer
Isn't Bentick injured, I don't think he has played a practice match as yet.
Hopefully Murph gets off otherwise Russell will replace Bentick.

It was as soft as butter mate, Murphy was going for the ball and tried to pull out when the Doggies fella' went in for the ball, ducking of course.
Was at the second half of the Bullants game today and he did some nice things, kicked a couple of goals, but wasn't moving that freely and he came off with a groin strain in the third quarter, so maybe he wasn't 100%. IMO, is probably just on the fringes of being in our best 22 atm.

Yes Bentick i injured, with a groin strain. He should be right for round 1 though.. We clearly missed his presence in the stoppages in all our praccy matches. We definately need him bak!!

Considering he hasn't played all pre-season, it's safe to say he'll probably come back through the twos.

Yes but will that be enough to get a game come Round 1?
