Some people have no respect for Judd

[Judd3]

1 of our supporters briefly interviewed said that she never kknew a premiership captain to leave a club - Big deal. Respect the man. He is Vic afterall, and does miss his fam ily. He has given the club everything, without him we wouldnt be what we are today { championship club Im refering to, not drug users }

How would they cope being away from home for 6 years. Morons, he should be bowed down to.

I respect Judd a lot but its still a bit of a kick in the gut im sure most people just dont want him to leave like myself. I thought he'd sign on for another 3 years and then move back but oh well.
Unfortunately for him he'll probably end up in a Vic club that wont win a premiership while hes there and its a possibilty that he wont regain his great form after his injury.

How would you cope being away from home,what the **** is that .People move out of home all the time and believe it or not they move out of state or Country and never move back near the family(mummy).I just hope its not money that is the mojo for his decision .But good luck to him anyway love the champ.

I'll save my utmost respect for one club players, thanks (particularly guys like Black, Wirrpanda and Braun etc. who had to move interstate at young ages - Wirra @ 16 - and did so).

With Judd's decision he's let down a lot of people at WC who placed their faith in him and did their best to make him stay ((like I mentioned in the other thread). Here we all were thinking he's a good bloke and all...
He's also made a complete mockery of WC captaincy. Sure Cousins has ****ed up big time off-field, but I'll take a guy like him as captain any day over someone who well behaved off-field, but who's heart's not in it. To me he's just shown himself as someone who plays for himself, not the team.

He's given us some great memories and was an integral part of our premiership, there's no doubt about that and it won't be forgotten, but this really stings (and at a bad time too) and if we don't get adequately compensated (which I get this yucky feeling is going to happen - fingers crossed it doesn't) it will sting a lot more.

I know you're disappointed, and I don't blame you, but for the time Judd was at the Eagles he gave everything, he left nothing on the field. His heart was in it 'till now 100%. It's interesting you mention off-field behaviour, because in a small way, the off-field behaviour of Kerr, Cousins etc may have had some influence on his decision to return home.

If Judd is worried about off-field behaviour then he should give up playing for any team. WCE have had a bad run with Cousins, Kerr behaviour wise but not every player in a football team is squeeky clean.

I'm not doubting that he didn't give 100% on the field, you'd expect that from any player, but the responsibilities and expectations of a captain extend beyond just that.

Maybe the off-field **** had some influence, but he was best mates with Daniel Kerr, which would make it very ironic if so.

Kerrs his best mate though, from what i've heard anyway.

I dont believe the drug scandal would be a factor in judds decision, he is a Melbourne man welcome home champ

Wont win a flag? with Judd in any team, he could win the bloody World Cup!


A lady on the news said as soon as west coast start going down he walks out on the club, that's a disgrace. That's garbage, he gave his all to the club, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to be with his family. I know I would.
