I think Judd probably fit into the category as well. Stood out like bull balls on a Pug.Was talking about this with my (now adult) boy today. Quite a while ago but my memory is Judd was quite obviously something special, but in a "if you watch a lot of footy you can easily tell he's going to be pretty good" way.
Harley is even if you've never watched a game before you can tell he's already better than everyone else good
Hard to believe it was over 20 years ago.Easy to forget how good Judd was as a kid
More than 20 years ago.Hard to believe it was nearly 20 years ago.
Sometimes I feel like Reid on the burst is still him in second gear.I think Judd probably fit into the category as well. Stood out like bull balls on a Pug.
Scary thing is Reids burst is very close to Judd. Judd may have him just for top speed but Reid also has the immense core strength, can break tackles better and is stronger overhead.
We have something very, very special and I believe (bar injury) a generational talent.

I was clearly taking the piss.
You're probably right mate. As an avid fan, it was that very first game that still sticks in my mind.He did but it's overlooked that Judd's standout game (the Brissy one)...where the casuals realised this guy is amazing....was a year and half into his career
Harley's played 6 games and everyone know already
No need for the Jud / Reid comparisons, Judd was and out and out legend and HR's going to be as well!!
I had to go back and edit my post. I had 2006 im my brain for some reasonMore than 20 years ago.
I remember Judds first year when he received the ball on the wing at Subi and was involved in a chain of disposals that saw him kick a goal to finish off the play. Can’t remember which team against or which round, but you could tell he was going to be special.
We also got good players around Judd as 1 gun isn’t enough. Just hope we can get some more quality players around Reid.
Crazy to think 4 years after drafting Judd we played in the 05 granny, then won the flag in 06. Same timeline see Reid hoisting the cup in 2028.I had to go back and edit my post. I had 2006 im my brain for some reason

I know I know getting ahead of myself. But it’s fun to have hope again after the last 3 years of misery.
This is why I have been reserved in my adulation of this kid. I absolutley loved Judd and was shook when he left. Like a few bottles of wine consumed shook.I reckon he'll stay. Everyone getting the jitters after Judd left.

I was shook like “Where were you when..” moment shook. Clearly remember leaving Lone Rangers shooting gallery with two peeps and putting on the car radio and heard the news. Was like the final siren of the 05 Grand Final gut wrenching, ugh.This is why I have been reserved in my adulation of this kid. I absolutley loved Judd and was shook when he left. Like a few bottles of wine consumed shook.
We need to keep adding midfield (and other) talent for sure.
We have a good start (and can’t wait for Hewett to get back), but another couple of quality mids will round out that area of the field (as Yeo and eventually TK move into the 30+ age bracket).

Felt like Judd was gonna return to Victoria eventually, so I wasn't shocked at all that he requested a trade.Judd leaving stung, to the tune of our greatest ever forward, two premiership players, about 500 games, 800 goals, two Colemans, three All Aus, and Tony Notte.
i laughed so hardand Tony Notte .
Same, he's my favourite ever player and made me love the game again after having enough of footy for a few years.. I just randmonly flicked on a game, must've been Judd's 2nd or 3rd game when I saw him turn on his afterburners down the wing when someone (can't remember who, but was no slouch) was hot on his tail.This is why I have been reserved in my adulation of this kid. I absolutley loved Judd and was shook when he left. Like a few bottles of wine consumed shook.
And I dont want to hear "oh Judd was always going, he was a robot, he never connected", this is my story.
Part of me is guarded and very aware that the $$ and home temptation is always around the corner.
I'll enjoy the ride Harley will take us on however, absolutely no pun intended.
