It really must be killing opposition supporters, that Judd chose Carlton. I can’t believe some comments I have read and heard. One actually hopes that he gets injured and never plays footy again. This came from someone who was drooling at the prospect of Judd choosing their club. They will never get over it.
Poor Judd is going to go from a much loved player who was tucked away, far in the West, to one that will be booed when he gets his next kick. I am sure that we Carlton supporters will deafen the boo’s but they will be there.
Richmond, Collingwood, Essendon* they’ll all have a go at him. I can’t wait really, they will probably boo so often they’ll lose their voices. I’m sure throat specialists around Melbourne will have increased revenue due to lost voices and sore throats; they’ll probably call it Juddyngitis .
I have to admit it would have made me sick to see Judd in a Collingwood or Essendon* jumper. Not because Collingwood or Essendon* got him, but because I would have to admire one of their players. That is damn hard to do. Melbourne was irrelevant, I wouldn’t have been unhappy to see him there.
I have heard the usual Carlton bashing on the radio the last few days. They made me laugh. Comments like “they always go and buy the best player “. That’s right we bought him. We didn’t give anything to get him, just a cheque book right....
Or even better “Hope Judd gets used to winning wooden spoons”. That’s a classic really. If we did win another wooden spoon we would have pick one again right? So they want us to end up last and get the best young talent in the country again. Maybe even another priority pick. Hmmm maybe they should watch what they wish for.
Maybe we Carlton fans are getting too excited that we have Judd. Maybe we should be depressed about it, maybe we should be mopping around “Poor us, we got Judd”.
As excited as I am about Judd. I’m more excited about Jamison, Murphy, Gibbs, Kruezer, Grigg, Hampson, Bower, Edwars and Pfeiffer. Maybe it’s because I’ve already seen what Judd can do.
As for the Pies, Bombers and Tigers, send yourselves silly hating the Rolls Royce you incorrectly dreamed was going to be parked in your garage!!!
