Like i said, it's just such a bullshit decision......

It's funny how everything in slow motion looks worse isn't it? I mean, I have been watching that all week thinking it was a lot worse than what it was and then I watched that youtube clip in normal time for the first time and it is now even more clear to me that it was a nothing event.

They need to go back to the old trail-by-video days where they didn't show incidents on TV until after the tribunal hearing. I mean seriously, how are the clowns on this match review panel supposed to make a non-biased decision when the media and football community are up in arms over one of the game's best players "eye-gouging" another player? There are blokes at my work who still think that he actually did eye-gouge Riscitelli because that's what they heard in the media on Saturday, Sunday and Monday and then have just had a few glances at the incident in slow motion on the news since.

No one cares about the evidence that comes out after the incident has been assessed, and in this case they clearly got it wrong. If they had offered him one week like it should have been, Judd would have taken his medicine and walked away. They made it 3 weeks and made it into a bigger deal than it needed to be. I just fail to see how Judd could have accepted guilt for a bullshit charge and moved on without challenging. Was he supposed to feel guilt for all the physical pain and mental stress that he has caused Riscitelli?

I reckon Judd has a right to feel ripped off because he has been. I bet he's wishing he had've punched Riscitelli in the head now - we may have won the game and he would've been offered 1 or 2 weeks, with a discount. Only enough to keep him out until the preliminary final.

Brennan got 1 week because it was on Carr. Plain and simple. They probably threw him a party in there.

The whole football world are saying Juddy has been harshly convicted with a 3 week ban for what he did. The AFL are pack of flowering idiots. It a load of shit.

So is this it?. Does he have to cop it sweet now?. Is there any more that can be done ?

Watching the TFS, the panel agreed that he did is was dumb, but no way it deserved 3 weeks. So why has the AFL crucified him ?

They interviewed him coming out after the appeals tribunal today, loved his comment about watching Steven Seagal movies and that pressure points are no laughing matter from what he saw.

BRING BACK PERFORMANCE BASE PAYMENTS !!!

He may have made a few mistakes over the last week but judging by his comments leaving the appeal he is smart enough to know that this is all a crock of 5hit.

Liked his focus on next year. Think we are going to see a bit more mongrel from Juddy over the next few years.

Go Blues !

Brilliant. His delivery of it too was spot on.

Carlton 2012: Lets remind them why they once feared the Dark.

What a load of crap!!

3 weeks for that and lloyd gets 4 weeks for sewell.

Put things in context AFL

Well look at that.... Judd uses the exact same words I did....

Anyone with half a brain would have realised that this result (from start to finish) would have occurred. There are some very blinkered and silly people in charge of and supporting this club.

I think he should have gotten 1 week just for being an idiot ... but three weeks is an absolute joke.

The decision almost stunned me as much as our last quarter against the Lions.

There was just nothing in it (even Juddy would realise he was a muffin) and thats what hurts ... if the player actually got gouged how many weeks would he have gotten then

Maybe two

WTF is going on with the AFL ... judged by the media ... just a flowering joke.

His greatest crime, mistake, call it what you will was talking to the media. That was what set off this unfortunate chain of events.

If he didn't talk to the media they would have found the visual evidence inconclusive as other people have said before on this thread. We can't do anything about it but learn from it and hope he limits his exposure to the media.


I hope Carlton win at least 2 of our first 3 games...
No Essendon* in the third week please.

It's all very well for the media and on the goats on TFS to come out in support now, where were they when the original points and penalty were released? Well, they were milking the fact that Judd had gouged and used pressure points .

@#$%&! 'em.

Still didnt deserve 3.

I accept the randomness of AFL as a whole so accept this but it doesnt deserve 3. If it wasnt Judd but a player from another club i am sure you would agree.

......and anyone with half a brain would realise that the whole thing is a load of bullshit - nothing but a media-driven beat up of a nothing incident.

Just because the outcome of this case seemed pretty much inevitable (to some) doesn't make it right. Why should he and the club just have backed down if they believed there was nothing in it? I bet Collingwood wouldn't have. Look at the Maxwell case as a perfect example. And I thought they had no hope in that one as well!!

The day that players/clubs don't have the realistic option to challenge rediculous findings from the AFL match review panel and/or the tribunal is a very sad day for football. It just takes away any right to the option of a fair defence.

I believe that day may have already happened.

If you reckon that action was worth the 3 week penalty then you're the only one here that is

Posters will please stop the name-calling.

Argue the topic only please.

What has been lost in all this, and obviously even with Judd and the club is that his comments at the airport had no bearing on the case or the penalty meeted out. It was simply based on the incident. I loved Judd's comment but it rarely had no relevance to the penalty or the case

Now that Juddy has crossed over from the nerdy group to the thugs group,I'd like to see him in a leather jacket with 3 day growth at all times.
I wanna see 'eyyyyy',with thumbs up ala The Fonz.
