Does he owe you anything....

[pistol17]

Question for all the WCE supporters/posters.

Chris Judd has been with the eagles for 6 seasons in that time he has won 2 best and fairest awards, a brownlow medal, is a premiership captain and won an afl players association award as well as the west australian award.

The question is - Does Chris Judd owe West Coast anything? Yes they drafted him but with the above mentioned awards he has won and a premiership as Captain IMO he owes West Coast nothing.

If it had of been Pavlich leaving I would be saying the same thing even though we havent won anything.

What are your opinions/thoughts??

 

[Scratcher Gillespie]

Doesn't owe us a thing. Achieved more than anyone ever thought possible, and delivered us a premiership. Good luck Chris.

Of course he does, i had plans for him to play 150 games, get life membership, then get twiggy to start popping them out.

I reckon we could have got at least 4 mini-judds running around. We'll have to hope rojo has some super-kids now

 

[Genesis67]

I think perhaps so, tho not as much as some people may think.

Remember why Hawthorn and St Kilda passed on him. It was the Eagles that took a chance on a kid with dodgy shoulders. It was a risk, no one could possibly know what he would go on to become.

He is the most marketable commodity in the AFL. Marketing is a two way straight, he earns the advertising dollars now off his own bat, but it was the Eagles connections with the big end of town that got him those dollars in the first place.

He was given the best of everything, given every opportunity to earn the one thing every professional footballer craves more than anything. A Premiership medallion.

At the very least, I think he owes the Eagles, and probably ever more importantly his ex-team mates, some loyalty.

I think Judd at West Coast was both a Honour for him and the Club.

 

[Scotland]

Yes, it has been a 6 year long two way street.

The player was paid handsomely, was given the opportunity to play in a top football side and was given every opportunity to get the best out of himself.

The player owes the club every chance to be reasonably compensated for the loss of his services as much as the club owes the player the opportunity to join a new club of his choice.

How many games do you need for a father / son selection? I had a feeling it was 100.

 

[94_Eagles]

Of course not, he just plays for the team I support, or used to.

But won't stop me from calling him Chris Judas from now on.

No he didn't "deliver" us a premiership. He was a part of a team that won a premiership. You are showing a lack of respect for the other players who played during that year.

What does owing someone mean

Does he owe me respect, money, his blood? Someone please explain this theory.

second kid due in january...
18. 5 years to go...
It'll be the jones junior v judd junior.
Somehow i feel it's a losing battle for juddy..
good luck chris. You gave us our first brownlow medallist, a premiership (As captain i mean), and put us on the map. Well cuzzy did that to, but for different reasons...
I hope your happy wherever you go...

I guess he doesn't owe the Eagles anything, but also the club's been good to/for him. So if he owes the Eagles nothing, the Eagles owe him nothing as well.

So, nobody owes anybody anything. Judd wants to go the club of his choice. The Eagles will want to get maximum value from his trade. Can't see this running all that smoothly really.

 

[Embers]

It is fair to say however he owes the club a shitload of shoulder tape. He must of went through a crate full in his 6 years with us. Ill expect the crate to be delivered by Monday to be wrapped around the groins of our new god Darren "the dazzler" Glass

 

[Isandula]

He owes us a good trade and thats about it

 

[Star_is_Braun]

He owes us a good trade and thats about it

exactly.... all he owes us, is to make sure that we don't get to overly screwed...

 

[West Coast 06]

I thought he owed the club the right to be told he was leaving before others knew. I think he also owed Worsfold and his team mates the same thing.

The only problem I have with him going was the fact that he asked the club to leave negotiations til after the season had finished, which they respected, all the while knowing he was not even entertaining the idea of re-signing with us. It seems kind of two faced to me.

Absolutely, that's why the club's dirty.

Glassy has more than one groin??

 

[94_Eagles]

In reality, can you imagine watching the whole of this season knowing that he wasn't going to be here next year? 2007 would have been even crappier with that hanging over the fans collective heads all year, not to mention how his teammates and the club would have felt.

 

[Mighty Eagles]

If you get drafted by an AFL club you should be grateful and almost owe your entire career to the club that drafted you. At the end of the day being drafted is something that you should honour, and after retirement give something back to that club.

 

[dogeatdog]

At the end of the day it was a WIN/WIN scenario for Judd and WC, everyone should move on and hope the future will also be a WIN/WIN

that's what i'm hoping for in any case

about him telling the club his intentions before the season started I do not believe it would have worked out well, its dead if you do and dead if you don't for him

 

[Spange]

No he didn't "deliver" us a premiership. He was a part of a team that won a premiership. You are showing a lack of respect for the other players who played during that year.

amen bruva

 

[Alphanumeric]

I agree.

I'm preying we don't get screwed in this trade.

 

[Quinz]

He owes me $50, but then he went and nicked of to Melbourne didn't he? The sneaky bastard.
