April Fools Newman skipper of an AFL TEAM

Re: Tigers top job a joke

I hate doing the Nazi spelling police thing to anyone, but you have finally got something right and I think you deserve our "Yay for the day"!

Well, well, well nice to see you noticed my little joke. I actually thought it was a bit too subtle but congratulations.

To the other point made by your colleague, at quick glance AUSSIE EAGLE rated Chris Judd as the best player in the competition. While I don't completely agree with it I think there is enough evidence to suggest that Chris Judd be regarded as the best player in the competition. As for your Zac Dawson analogy, anyone that can help Rocca to 8 goals surely deserves to be held in such regard as Judd, Ablett and Franklin.

Little joke huh? I call that more a 'little Juddism' - a twisting of the story to suit your idiocy.

But rather than resort to Aussie Eagle, perhaps this 1000+ reply thread holds more truth. http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=448848&highlight=Judd+Best+20+midfielders

Re: Tigers top job a joke

I'm know professor in the english language but from my knowledge to be regarded is to be considered, and in this case Judd is regarded (considered) the best player in the competition. Now as will always be the case it will never be fact or unanimous but he is still and for a while yet be regarded as the best player in the competition.

Ok, so I see it's a bit of a recurring theme with you. I'll leave it be.

And as for the rest of the post - Judd is NOT regarded as the best player in the competition. Ablett is, then followed by Franklin. And rightly so.

Judd certainly wasn't the best player last season (not even in the top dozen), nor the season before that. Ablett was, hence he's earned the tag.

Get yer hand off it.

Re: Tigers top job a joke

Judd was named All Australian Captain ahead of Sam Mitchell and Luke Hodge this year.

Oops.

I forgot that Sam Mitchell wasn't good enough to be named All Australian because he only kicked four goals in 24 games.

Great leader...

Ah, what?

So by that logic Franklin and Fevola are the best leaders in the competition.

On a more obvious note, Mitchell was far more consistent throughout the season; compared to Judd, who had 7 average-to-poor games.

Keep trying fanboii.

I agree that the use of Juddism is present in this thread. Isn't that just persuasive language? I mean when you have a point to make you get a bunch of statistics, analogies and various other techniques to position the reader to agree with your point of view.

Judd2Sewell has spoken, let it be written in stone Ablett is the best player in the competition. Well according to the umpires he wasn't. According to the footy show he wasn't. According to the herald sun he wasn't. I actually am of the opinion that Franklin is the best player in the competition based on a number of criteria but I also beleive that both Judd and Ablett have every right to be regarded as the best.

So...

Get yer hand off it.

If Judd can reclaim the form that won him all the acclaim in the first place then yes, he would be.

And you seem to be forgetting the fact Ablett missed games this season, he could quite easily have taken out each of these awards had he played the full season. You'll also note he averaged the highest in each of these polls.

Quite simply he was the best midfielder, and the most dominant player alongside Franklin. Anyone with half a brain will recognise the fact he's the best (or a close second to Franklin) ATM.

And do you really think Cooney deserved the Brownlow the most? Or that Hodge was only worthy of two whole votes for the season, despite the fact he was in the top few for the player of the season polls on here, and polled well in the other competitions?

Do you honestly think that Judd deserved the AA Captaincy, despite having 7 poor-to-average games throughout the season. He shouldn't have even been in the side let alone be the captain of it.

My criteria for 'best player' takes into account past and present form as well as potential. Which is why I rate Franklin so highly and Ablett a close third. While it may not be your opinion it is an opinion and neither is 'right' in the true sense of the word.

And you seem to be forgetting the fact Ablett missed games this season, he could quite easily have taken out each of these awards had he played the full season. You'll also note he averaged the highest in each of these polls.

I reconise Ablett's form and at best he is very good but we soon forget how good Judd was. If Ablett didn't miss games, yes he might've taken out those awards. While we're at it IF Judd didn't sustain his his hamstring injury would Ablett even be in contention or would Judd be too far ahead? Unless you know something i dont?

He lead a team from 15th to 11th. While it is not finals nor a premiership he showed great leadership and when Harley is seen as the main competitor and Hawthorn's leadership identity crisis (forgive my poor choice of words it is actually a good thing to have both Mitchell and Hodge as leaders) left Judd a deserving captain and AA representative.

If you could just get the wording of this argument a bit better, your point is actually right.

It only takes one person (e.g. Robert Walls) to regard Judd as the best player in the AFL, and then you can honestly say that he is regarded as the best player in the AFL. Although the guy that regards him as the best is a tosser, Chris Judd actually is regarded as the best player in the AFL.

But wouldn't that be more or less basing the 'best' on potential? Which would mean Franklin is the best. But would also mean we'd be vastly overrated players like Rioli, Gibbs et al at the same time, because they've got talent galore but have yet to fully transform that into on-field dominance.

Noone's forgetting how good Judd was. But the simple fact is he's not that player anymore (ATM). IF Judd was back to his best I'd say he would be firmly in the top three with Ablett and Franklin, it'd be impossible to really split the three really, but I'd say he'd be on par with Ablett (a whisker ahead even) and just ahead of Franklin. Either way you wouldn't want to be coming up against them.

As for the lead the team from 15th to 11th - you seem to have not taken into account the natural development/progress of your young players. Or do you mean it in the literal sense in that he lead, as in was Captain?

Mitchell did have a more consistent year than Judd, as did a few other players that really should've got the gig over him. But he's the Media's favourite, and with the constant media circus there'd have been fireworks had he not been included.

On a side note - You're right concerning our Leadership, Mitchell's the 'face' of the club whilst Hodge is the on field leader. Bias aside, they really don't come much better than Hodge where on field leadership is concerned.

Guys we already have 500 Carlton v Dawks threads let this thread focus on the joke which is the Richmond Football Club

I agree with Big Red.

Who is Chris Newman anyway? Ive never heard of him..

 

[W. Smithers]

Who'd be captaining the Blues next year if you didn't buy Judd?

Freo reject and WAFL star Warnock??

Who would have captained them this year?

Geelong reject and Carlton Best and Fairest Carrazzo lol?

Rattling off names doesn't make it true. In all honesty a leadership group of Waite/Murphy/Simpson/Gibbs/Fevola/Stevens would have been suffice. Any of those would've been a much better captain than Whoman.

I mean even our off-field trouble maker Fevola displays more leadership potential than your joke of a skipper. What I don't understand is how kicking a goal from the square makes you any better of a leader. Wouldn't a clip of sticking up for your team mates, spouting off directions or even other players at the club swearing by your leadership around the club. Something which Fevola, Stevens and even the much younger Murphy and Gibbs have acheived. There is a major leadership crisis at Richmond, Deledio is a great player but is no leader and the club would've been much better off with Cotchin.

Judd or Whoman? I think i know who i would rather leading my club to our 17th and 18th premierships.

What about clips of Judd backstabbing Fevola, West Coast fans, accepting off the books payments and him sitting away from the team on flights?

The only way that person will be Judd is if the old, cheating, thieving bastard kicks the bucket in the next 20 years and the 'environmental warrior' ascends to the chairmanship of Visy.

So yes I would much rather Judd than Newman. On the captain stakes, AA Captain.

no doubt, Newman is a good player but Judd is excellent, not the best player in the AFL anymore though...
