Will Judd ever be the same again?

[Hodgepodge]

Given that LukeBall hasn't necessarily recovered from his groin injuries to be the same player he was before, do you believe that Juddy's speed and/or acceleration might take a permanent blow?

i bloody hope so!

did u see the essendon and melbourne games? he is pretty much at 100% effectiveness when he is on - he just needs to get some consistency back. he'll be fine.

Arguably the 2 worst teams in the comp.

i'm not voting, just asking a question.

 

[Matt72]

I'm not voting as it appears he has already fully recovered so the poll is redundant.

 

[Big Nasty]

If you watch him play, you can see he isn't resticted anymore. He just isn't as good at Carlton.

 

[Carn Hawkas]

He is fully recovered, what we are seeing is his best.

LOL at you thinking he is at his best. Some of you people have very short memories.

The guy had no preseason, you can hardly assume he isn't going to improve.

He has been awesome in patches this year, it is only a matter of time before he can do it for 4 quarters.

OMG. He was struggling to run last year, now he just flies past opposition with his speed.
There's no way he has struggled the last two weeks.

Judd will never be the same again.

I was more reffering to consistency over 4 quarters, he is not at peak fitness........yet.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Let's judge him this time next year! A full preseason fully fit... etc. He was good against the Crows! Luke Ball was never a "FAST" on baller anyway!

He has struggled in his agility and speed, although he has recovered to the extent that he can actually win the ball in contested situations, shrug tackles and kick long.

It may be some time before he gets that burst of speed back, it is something at the moment that is lacking. I've seen him chase and he appears to be a yard slower.

He was quick before his groin injury/ies . . . trust me.
