How will you remember them

[Topkent]

I was watching Chriss Judd earlier and they were talking about his retirement and it made me think that once he hangs up the boots, I still feel like im going to remember him as Judd the eagle and not Judd the blue

Then I thought about Gazza Jnr and I think to me now he will be Gazza the Gold coast sun and not the Cat

I have no reason or theory as to why thats the case

So how will you guys remember Judd Ablett and other big Multiple club players , the same could be asked of Thomas, Franklin and Goddard in a few years when they retire

Judd will be a Blue.
Gazza will be split, but more talked about as a Cat.
Thomas will be a Pie.
Franklin will most likely be a Hawk, unless he plays for most of his 9 year contract.
Goddard is a Saint.

No way

I'm a port supporter so of course I will..

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Ablett a cat
Buddy a Hawk
Thomas a Pie
Judd a Blue
Burgyone a Hawk
Lake a Dog

Personally I remember Judd as an eagle - so dynamic and explosive.
Ablett will be remembered as both a Sun and a Cat - Both due to the family connection at the Cats, and the first captain of a new franchise.
Franklin will be remembered for his 3 strikes as a Hawthorn player.

I remember Gaz more as a sun then as a cat because In my opinion his work at the suns was better then his stuff at the cats and it proved how great he was.

Agreed.

I have watched quite a few Suns games now just to watch Ablett play.

 

[Greatness23]

I'll remember Judd for his dog acts.

I think it will largely depend on how long each player plays once they have switched clubs.

Judd might end up spending more years at Carlton (depending on if he retires this year or keeps playing) but i would think he would be remembered more as an Eagle (premiership captain). He might have achieved some personal accolades at the Blues but he wasn't able to achieve team success.

Ablett should be remembered more for his time at Geelong, we shall see when his career is officially over (one could argue as to whether his shoulder reconstruction will "slow" him down to the rest of the players level now or if he'll still outshine everyone for the next 2-3-4-5 years) and then judge his time at the Gold Coast Suns. But the reality is that he is a two time premiership player for the Cats, a vital cog in their match day setup. And being Geelong royalty. He hasn't done much at the GCS beyond being captain and winning a brownlow medal by default.

On the other hand with Ablett and Judd when people discuss them in years to come, they might refer to the player's themselves rather than the clubs they played for.

Franklin will be remembered in a "what could have been" scenario because of the way he left Hawthorn...................... even more so if he ends up not fulfilling his contractual obligations (willing to bet he will be "retired" in 2-3 years time).

People who write here that they will remember Judd as a blue never watched us play in the early/mid 2000's

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Judd, for me, will be a Blue.
Ablett, a Sun
Buddy, a turncoat
Thomas, a pie

I did, but I'll remember him as a blue, purely as hes been at the blues for so long now.

Shame, as he was a gun at the Eagles.

Success can play a part in how players are remembered. Stewy Dew is an example, would have only been remembered as a Power player if it weren't for 08. Dal Santo is obviously a Saint but if north were to win a flag with him there I'd probably see it a little differently not unlike Luke Ball.

 

[ioppolo]

I'll remember Judd as a campaigner

 

[Catsmaninamerica]

Ill remember Jared Rivers as a Cat. Because he managed to play in more wins in 2 seasons with the Cats than he did in 10 combined at Melbourne.

 

[Maddo11]

Even though he always tore the Swans apart 05-06 as an Eagle, it's getting harder to remember Judd as an Eagle (or with hair for that matter).

 

[mike123]

I won't remember Thomas at all. I'll just try and wash his memory away.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Buddy, Judd and Ablett will be remembered as Legends of the game.

 

[dogs105]

I'll remember Jeremy Cameron as a Crow










I hope!

 

[kanye_best]

i personally think when players like Judd or Ablett are remembered in years to come, the teams they played for might not even enter the discussion.

 

[doona]

Why is Thomas in this thread? I reckon in 10 years I wont even remember his name.

To me:

Gaz = Sun (When I think of Geelong mids now I think of Bartell, Selwood, Ling but not gazza)
Judd = Eagle

 

[DaVillaBlues]

I'll remember Uncle Pauly as a Don !!

 

[NatTheKnifeFyfe]

I won't remember Thomas and Goddard
