If we were lucky enough to have a practice game there, and Judd was playing, even a half, I reckon a crowd of 5,000 might just turn up. Obviously, it depends on what day it's on. Hopefully they wouldn't schedule it for a Friday afternoon for example.

No more TG. Anyway, we'll still get a good kid in 11 months time, no matter where we finish.

You would have thought Richmond would have learnt their lesson after they drafted Justin Murphy with a top four selection in the 1993 AFL draft. Richmond passed on hard nuts and guns such Chris Scott, Brad Johnson, Simpson, Chris Johnson and Gehrig for a Tambling type downhill skier with skill.Tambling did an excellent impression of a witches hat during our last encounter.
It appears bad habits die hard at Punt Road since they also picked Pettifer ahead of Burgoyne in the 2000 draft and traded for McMahon.

I think we should keep very, very quiet when talking about the 2000 draft!
Still can't work out what Tamblings "specialty" is. He's not slow, but not lightening quick. Can kick a goal, but is hardly a devastating goal sneak, and struggles to kick over 40m. Has been hopeless as a inside midfielder - reacts slowly and gets pushed off the ball. Terrible defensively - the way Carrazzo just walked around him was embarrassing. Tiges fans keep telling us every year he is ".. training the house down..." and "..this will be his year.." etc etc. I think what we have here, is the Tiges the used a first round pick, on a 5th round pick player. A Miller specialty.

The Tambling over Franklin decision will go down in draft history as one of the biggest blunders ever. Could even surpass the Fiora over Pavlich bungle as well. Oh Richmond, they are hopeless.

I don't want him to bust a gut in the preseason. Would be a tragedy after this build up to have him get badly injured in the preseason and not play a game in the real stuff this year. That feeling of Judd running out in round 1 for us will be awesome.
Pretty sure Ratts has said that he won't field our best team during the NAB Cup, but rather all our younger, inexperienced players so that we can see what type of kids we have.

Spot on AWG. Ratts said that round 1 will be priority this year, and not the NAB Cup. Give the kids a run in round 1 of the NAB Cup, and if we happen to get up, then I guess they will have a look at which players to bring in (if any) for round 2 of the NAB Cup.

I suspect our NAB cup campaign will be over after one or two games this summer, so I don't expect we will see Judd.
He will play some limited time in the practice matches IMO, just to get a run, but the aim will be for round 1 vs Tiges, who just quietly, judging by the number of Blues related threads on their board and the continued numbers of trolls.........ARE SHITTING THEMSELVES!
I think that he should definetly play at least 1 game in the pre season.
First of all, it will take a couple of games to settle into our side.
Second, it could take him a couple of matches to get match fit and back on the field.
And finally, i think that it sends a bad message to everyone else at the club to say that Judd is more important than everyone else and therefore won't play in the preseason.

He is the most important down at the club though and the rest of the team would know that aswell. He is the best player in the league so of course he would be treated different. Also he is the most important in terms of his fitness and he is reaching his peek in his career so its important hes in good shape.

Just heard on SEN one of the commentators predicting the Blues for top 4. You would of loved hearing that if you're a Blues man. For mine, it was Judd, Blah blah blah, Judd Blah Blah, Judd Blah Blah.
It may happen. Good luck to you guys if you do that well. But Geez there are some red hot teams around.
I'm hoping we make the 8, top 4 is a bonus.

I dunno. I still think he should play at least one game.
Although round 1 would be so much better to watch if he hadn't played in the preseason.
J..I'm hoping we make the 8, top 4 is a bonus.
Who cares, you'll be merged with the Dees within 5 years. BTW, without Franklin, you're barely top-8 standard as we saw in the recent finals series. Adding 105kg+ of Dew won't change that reality.

I think he should play him the last round of the pre-season, just to get his fitness up and going for round 1, just so theres not worry about Judd not being able to keep up with the games pace.

That wasn't Andrew Maher talking us up, was it?
I'd like to see him play NAB cup. I think the on field leadership he will bring to your team will grow game by game.
As long as he doesnt get injured I think this would be the best thing for Carlton... An injury to him in the NAB cup would obviously be a disaster though.
P.S:- i put $20 on the Collingwood Carlton Grand Final quinella in 2008 @ $120. Hope the old rivalry comes back strong in 08

We have nothing to gain by playing either Judd or Stevens in the NAB cup. I say we give a young guy like Blackwell a crack.
If I was in Carlton's shoes, I'd go with this. Perhaps in the later stages of the NAB Cup you might bring him in and play him 1/2 of every quarter - does the NAB Cup allow a 6 man interchange?
If you're knocked out of the NAB Cup early, I'd give him half a game in every practice game leading up to round 1.
Very happy not to see him until Round 1, however, i'd have no problem with him playing 1/2 - 3/4 of a game in two lead up matches either NAB Cup or in the regional series.
