[Slats]

One of the greatest players of this generation.

Thanks for the memories Juddy.

 

[Power Raid]

an absolute legend of the game

such speed, strength and poise

 

[rdhopkins2]

It is my belief that Judd will pull the curtains on his career.

Judd at his prime was unbelievable. His endeavour, skills, strength, speed, evasiveness, tactical nous and competitiveness. A modern warrior.

A sad way to go out if true but it would be the best call I think. Many players often take 12mths back in the game to regain confidence and form.

Let's hope that he can continue an involvement in the game, whether it be player development, coaching or marketing the game.

What a wonderful career.

Finding it hard to comcentrate today. Sad day for footy in general.

 

[outabounds]

Just a super player. Pretty sad that some choose to score cheap points on the pros/cons of his trade to Carlton on a day where we should be remembering one of the greats. Get a life.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Sad ending for a great career hopefully he sticks around football in some capacity got the most out of his body and reinvented him self when he lost his pace utter champ hope he gets sent off in the right manor

 

[Galileo9]

i can see it. retire, start to feel better by november. come to west coast, play enough games to become a life member. at moment, he doesn't have life membership at any club (150 games criteria?).

although, surely wce will give him a life membership due to being a premiership captain. not sure if clubs including wce do that.

 

[Confuscius]

sad way to go out. Deserves to be chaired off the ground, he was simply amazing back in the day. He's been incredible at Carlton but his West Coast days were just something else. Broke away from stoppages with ease and was lethal in space. Up there with Gaz as the best in the modern era

 

[crownie]

Chris Judd playing for West Coast is as good as i have seen.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

In no suprises hes retiring.

 

[Araluenian]

Judd and Cousins were the bane of every side in the competition from 2005 to 2007. The game has seen few players better than Judd, who will surely challenge for the mantle of the best in the modern era. His career deserved a better end than this, but it's a career worth celebrating nonetheless.

 

[Keys]

Super player and arguably the best midfielder of his generation. Together with Kerr, cousins and cox he was part of the best centre square group that has played and they dragged west coast to a premiership.

He did everything possible to do the same at Carlton but never really had quite the same level of support around him. Nonetheless he lifted a club that was struggling at the time and gave them hope when it's fair to say they had little (happy for blues supporters to correct me if I'm wrong)

Will go down as an absolute champion of two clubs and amongst the top five at both (obviously at west Coast he was Carlton supporters will be better judges than me on that)

Really sad that the decision was taken out of his hands. All the best juddy

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Classy speech by Juddy, I appreciate the fact he acknowledge the gracious Crows fans who clapped him off.

Also Lenny Hayes farewell tour LOL

 

[pazza]

Champion. Thanks Juddy.

 

[Nostradumbass]

John Butcher? Lol KB...

 

[T2B_]

Gave special mention to the Adelaide fans being so classy and respectful and even got a bit teary

 

[Tiger71]

I am just stoked I got to see Judd in his prime. Enjoy retirement champ and thanks for all you have given the game

 

[jim boy]

if true, sad to see him go. The very first version of the 'Hot Topic Board' was created to deal with the hype around Judd.

 

[Superstar swan]

Juss was near unstoppable at west coast. His break away pace was something rarely seen. Its a shame his body deterioted so quickly. Should reach legend status

 

[Procrastinator35]

CHRIS JUDD....3 VOTES....3 CHEERS.

 

[SloppyJoe]

Just an awesome player, particularly when he had hair. If not for the groin injury in 07 and West Coast's off field issues he could have been the best ever. Instead, he'll just have to settle for legend status in the hof. Thanks for the memories, Juddy.

 

[95blues]

I didn't follow Juddy when he played for West Coast, just marvelled at how he always seemed to be in the goalkickers pretty much every game.

Question for Eagles Supporters: Who was his peak flat out speed comparable to in todays game? I know he was quick.. and his lateral movement was out of this world but what about his pure speed?

 

[Paul Kersey]

Sad way to go out. We play Carlton in round 23, would have been great to see him off in that game.
