No offence but do you really think Kennedy will be as good as Brown?Blues_Man said:

Yes Judd is the BEST player in the comp Kennedy and your first rd players are not and could be the next Luke Livingson or Mark Bolton.cypher said:Kennedy and one of Gibbs/Hansen/Gumbleton for Judd?
Where do we sign up?
Essendon are already planning to pick up Josh when he is 30 and over the hill.

On the other side of the coin you could say Judd was the main reason West Coast have been good and him being out the last 3 weeks is no coincidence.avid blue supporter said:
Kennedy looks very much like a young bloke we got from Glenelg about 20 years ago who went to captain Carlton and is probably up there with Big John as our greatest ever player. Look what we got from Sticks and imagine that from Kennedy. Good midfielders are a dime a dozen but good kpp players are very hard to come by. Have a look at West Coast now. I wouldn't trade Kennedy for 2 Judds. He (Kennedy) is going to be very good and we will get a player in the next couple of years who I think will be almost as good as Judd, Ball and Hodge in Walker.
Have a look at West Coast now without Judd. They don't have any good kpp in the forward line and have to put Hunter there. By rights they should have lost their last 3 matches bar for the fact they played Carlton and Geelong. Look what happened on Saturday when the played PA - they were sh*thouse and got thumped.
Why give them a helping hand with a gun like Kennedy
NO judd is not the best player in the comp ..i would take Jonathon Brown in a heartbeat if i was offered either ...as for your other question ...Kennedy has the potential to be another Kernahan / Brown type player .mcphee_is_a_gun said:

I think people wil vary in opinion as to who's the best player in the comp. I hope both Kennedy and Ryder are good players for our respective clubs we both badly need quality talls for the futureBlues_Man said:

I know he is the best player in the competition and a gun but giving up the potential in 10 year players Hansen and Kennedy for Judd won't happen. There's almost no chance of a Livingston or Bolton getting drafted early with the way club's recruiting departments leave no stone unturned with draft camp, psychological profiles and even looking at players' family life.mcphee_is_a_gun said:

He'd put a positive spin on it much like Sheedy in that aspect which i admire.cypher said:
I agree with you that the in drafts these days duds probably wont be picked up early as clubs tend to go for the safer bests but anythings possible maybe the recruiters will read out the wrong number and get Carlton stuck with a dud

No argument with you there.
But that is the point of my argument, they rely too much on Judd. I'll tell you now that if that had a gun forward say like Fev, Barry Hall or Johnathon Brown to kick to, then they would be travelling well with or without Judd. They had Judd up and firing in the GF last year but still couldn't win because they had no one to kick to.
Imagine in 1 or 2 years with Kennedy at say 100kg and Fev up and going, what a midfield of say Murphy, Walker, Stevens, Blackwell and say, Waite could do for these guys and where Carlton would be.
With a side like this Judd may be happy to come back to us on his own accord.
Good big KPP are too hard to come by and should be kept at all costs.
Ridiculous... just a silly West Coast fan trying to stir up some rumours.
1. Judd is the captain of the WEAGLES, doubt he would be of the character to take the captaincy if he wanted to desperately leave end of season.
2. ALL players play for a premiership... and unless WEAGLES win it this year he'll stay there for in the next 2-3 years they'd have a better chance to win one than our beloved Blues (although I hope we do win it next year!).
3. Think of the Salary to pay for him and the what we lose... Kennedy a 1st round pick plus another 750K a year. When Kennedy and the 1st round pick will cost us mimimal over the next 2 years. And if Kouta does retire we have 1million freed up next year... we can probably buy two good uncontracted players on top of keeping our 1st round pick... so 3 good players is better than one outstanding Judd.
4. Members come to watch real BLUES play... we come to watch Fev, Kouta, Whitnall, Waite.... as opposed to our other side pick-ups, Stephens, Teague, Morrel etc etc. As much as we can embrace other side pick-ups I and I bet you tend to embrace our players that have been in-bred blue through and through. And a young kid may embrace a Kennedy more-so than a Judd.
Fellow Blues don't take the hype... prob some WA fan who probably watched Kennedy play as a junior and putting the Judd = Victorian and Kennedy = WA and putting a nice spin on it.

A straight swap - Kennedy for Judd - would take it in a second. You would be crazy to turn that down - Judd is the best player in the competition, Kennedy has potential but won't ever be that good.
A swap of Judd for Kennedy and a first round pick - would take it, depending on what Kennedy shows the rest of this year. One superstar is worth more than two potential superstars, regardless of how much potential they have. Would try to get the Eagles first round pick as well though, so it would be more like pick 2 and Kennedy for Judd and pick 15

How old is Judd, 25 or there-a-bouts? Maybe 6 or 7 years left as an effective on baller. Kennedy, 18, has the potential to be a great KPP with 12/14 years ahead of him playing for the Mighty Blues. (Admittedly he may want to return to WA at some stage) + very Low draft pick, (possibly Gibbs, Sellars.Gumbleton, Hansen) (at least another 12/14 years service. A trade for JUDD, IMO, no bloody way.

dude, what are you talking about...Judd is 23, and has 10 years of great footy ahead of him. He is the best player in the AFL.
In saying that, I would not trade Kennedy for him. We have a potential absolute champion and superstar CHF on our hands, and we would be crazy to let him go. I haven't been this excited about an up and coming kid playing for the Blues in a LONG time. Judd would be asking for a huge contract, and, given the current financial position that the club is in, we should not even consider it.
Only possiblities of getting Judd are if we finish bottom and somehow get him in the PSD, or if we trade Livo, Davies and Prendergast to the roos for 5 first round draft picks, and on trade them to the weagles for Judd. As you can see, this is highly unlikely
Very happy to keep Kennedy, thanks...
no way would we trade Kennedy. If we are going to start trading away young guns, even if it is for Judd, we might as well pack up our hopes and dreams and settle for being in the bottom 8 for a long time. Judd is a proven, brilliant player, but we have to hang on to our young guys, especially the KPPs. Kennedy, along with the group of other young 'uns, are our future.
He's actually 22 years old, and although I'd love to have him at Carlton, there is no way I'd give up Kennedy + 1st round pick for Judd.Lance said:
