That probably wasn't even his real cat.

BLUES 2010: PAV AND JUDD = FLAGS. DOING IT FOR THE LOVE OF DICK PRATT.

HAVE YOU SIGNED UP FOR TALKINGCARLTON SUPERCOACH 2009 YET?

Hi so I went to juddys book launch tonite!

Some key things he said:

Agrees the drug culture at wce was disappointing but thought the media was unfair to paint the brush that 'all the team were drug cheats'.

Said his favourite game for carlton was the 2013 prelim final against the tigers.

On bolton: said he was far and away the best candidate in terms of the key areas the panel was looking for, being development, teaching and most importantly the ability to be innovative with how the team plays. Further he noted how carlton and other teams were guilty of trying to 'follow' other successful teams methods for success but he was confident bolton could turn that around and make others want to follow carlton methods.

Said carlton has/had introverts but was pleasantly surprised that with our recent trades we had got players who wanted to be a part of our club and are keen to plsy for the jumper

Said that he hopes little oscar will play for carlton!!

Says he still loves the club and 'would be open' to have some involvement with it at some stage in the future. However made the point that he was happy to provide ocassional advice or support to any of our players should they seek it from him in the interim.

When asked about a media role or appearance on tv he said (which he knocked back).

There was 300 odd that showed up to Eastlake tonite and all of us were engrossed by what he had to say. Personally I thought he was very genuine and honest with his remarks and extremely generous with his time allowing questons from the mc as well as the fans that came along, not mention signing books scarves ets and taking photos (including with me ) with everyone that attended.

Yes I have a mancrush on him but he is an absolute champion!! It was an awesone nite!!

Nup, but Collingullie, Moruya, Numurkah and Nathalia are tour destinations.

Just finished the book. It's a pretty good read.

For those that follow the club closely, there's nothing really new or earth shattering. Though it's pretty damning on the lack of drive of the playing group and the clubs shortcomings.

Let's hope that hits home to all and sundry at the club and results in positive change.

I never fully absorbed the extent of how much injuries effected his career until I read the book. The scale and amount of injuries were enormous.

He battled through a lot to be arguably the best footballer of the last 20 years.

Shame that Carlton didn't write the script a generational player such as Judd required - ie being a member of a Carlton premiership team...still his Brownlow and MVPs were some compensation.

Judd really doesn't have an ego or selfish ego as he rarely in this book talked about the matches he excelled in.

This post rocks my world.

Champion. Both of you.
