It doesn't seem possible for something to be funny AND sad at the same time........but that is how i would feel if this turns out to be true

He will be fine.This is all a beat up. He is saying to carlton suporters ,not to have huge expectations on him ,so he can get back to his brilliant best without the massive preasure.
He will come back just as good as he was.
He will come back just as good as he was.
This part is brilliant! He loves to play the media-shy boy, and make everyone think he's Mr. Modesty, but it couldn't be further from the truth.
He loves it at Carlton, because he knows they have no one that gets close to him, so all the talk is about him. Just reading that article, and looking at his body language over the last 5 months or so, I think it's safe to say his greatness ends when he steps off the footy field, because he seems like an arrogant tosser.

I hope he gets better, the game will be worse off without him if his injuries are at the extreme end.

i dont care if the guy is up himself, up someone else, media shy, media tart, recluse, extovert, introvert, w***er, good bloke , crap bloke, nanas favorite, public enemy #1 - I DONT CARE.. i wanna see him on the paddock, ripping up the turf, pill under the arm, selling dummies, busting packs, drilling passes... hey, i hate the blues just like every other bomber fan but i LOVE footy and i LOVE the players who can do what others only dream of... so i hope Juddy's fit and firing..and ready to rip the opposition a new a- hole , except when they play the bombers..thats all i ask...

As much as it will hurt watching him tear other teams apart in a Blues jumper, it will be a shame for football if he doesn't get over his injury.
To be honest, the article sounds more like Judd trying to hose down expectations of not only his own initial form but Carlton's prospects for 2008.

Carlton believes it won the battle for Judd over Collingwood because it was able to sell an on and off-field package that appealed to a man who has never sought the huge profile he has nevertheless created.
I love this hypocrisy from sportstars et al.
"Oooh, I hate the media. Just to prove it, I'm going to create a couple of week long media circus where I play all the big Melbourne clubs off against each other to see who can get their tongue the furthest up my bum.
"And to further prove how much I hate the spotlight, my missus is going to sign up as the face of the Spring Carnival and Myer. Because we hate the spotlight down at Casa Del Judd. Hate it I tell you."

1) Judd wasnt an arrogant tosser last year when he was in Perth, or any of the years for that matter. The Eagles all attend a particular hospital in Perth, where they get their scans, have surgery, and have physio. Judd regularly visited sick patients, and not just kids either. An elderly patient (roughly 80) who was quite sick wrote to West Coast HQ last year asking for Judd to visit him in hospital in the middle of the season, and Judd didnt just have a quick visit - he stayed in the blokes room on the ward and chatted to him for over an hour. No media about, no PR brownie points to be gained. He just did it. As for him and his manager trying to get the best price possible for his contract - you guys do realise every player in the AFL does this....
2) The injury news is legit, however no-one can for certain determine how quickly he will recover, and to what extent he will recover. One of the orthopaedic surgeons in this particular hospital in Perth is mates with the surgeon who Judd had scans with in Melbourne. The Melbourne doc told the Perth doc that Judd should have major surgery, which consequently would have a longer rehabilitation period that would see Judd get back to match fitness several rounds into the season. Given the news, Carlton looked elsewhere, found an alternative surgery option, and rolled the dice hoping Judd doesnt break down again. People, making "matter of fact" statements is pointless. Judd might struggle and break down again in '08 or he might play all 22 games this season without any trouble. However, the major surgery was in his best long term interests, and would have given him the best possible chance of making a complete recovery.

Lots of people who visit hospitals are tossers, it doesn't mean they don't have a heart. So, I'm not sure what you're getting at. Obviously I don't know the guy, but this is a forum and runs on our opinions, and to me he comes off as a bit self-loving.

So we've given Carlton a nice, shiny toy but didn't tell them that we had broken it first? Not a very nice thing to do.
Logic and common sense have no place on this board. Lift your game son
See above
Well said. Judd has really sucked in the footy public, but some of us haven't been so easily fooled. The guy has dollar signs in his eyes and uses the media beautifully.
This news makes me worry about Luke Ball ,it is a $hitful injury.
Despite the political turmoil in The Chad's country, Chad, The Chad has come out of asylum to post on this matter.
Point one from The Chad:
If Judd barely takes the field for Carlton and the worst is realised and he does have to retire, it is a genuine tragedy for football.
Point two from The Chad:
If the above is realised, will Carlton fans squeal hideously like Brayshaw and Kangaroos Football Club supporters did about Hay? Of course not. So with all the 'hatred' of Carlton fans going on around here it makes no sense - Blues fans handle themselves with a lot more class than the Haystack Squealers.
Point three from The Chad:
If Judd made his intentions to West Coast clear at an early stage, did they have any part in this botching of his rehabilitation in order to make him damaged goods? Josh Kennedy for a crock looks like a mighty good trade. Who decided Judd to go SYDNEY (of all places??) for the surgery. Did he have the same surgeon has Harry Kewell? (kewell flew to australia to treat a groin injury). Why did they go the patch-up job...we all know they went the patch-up on Cousins' hamstring as well. There is no doubt in The Chad's mind that West Coast had a role in his poor treatment in order to lessen his trade value as they knew Judd was already on his way out.
Anyway, the president is fleeing and so is The Chad.
PEACE to all.

Sad if true, however watchLuke Ball struggle over the past two years with the same injury Judd incurred in 2007 make you wonder if he will ever be the Chris Judd we saw at WCE.
Ball has the exact same injury and has had the exact same surgery as Judd and is still on a mod training program at the Saints.
I saw Judd late last year and his pace had gone due to the injury.
Hopefully he gets back but I fear it may well be a Luke Ball type injury where he will come right back to the field and be a GOP at best.
On a side note I am interested why there have only been a couple of arlton supporters on this thread while thee were about 10 on a thread about St.Kilda.
Seems like JeffDunne is right when it comes to obsession. Strange supporters at cheatsville.

Precisely. The best media operator is the one who doesn't seem to be using the media at all. Princess Di (Dead) was very good at this until her schtick got a bit too obvious.

Naughty naughty west Coast, no cake for you today PMSL
Not looking good is it.
A clutching at straws scenario could be that its all a big marketing wind up 'will he or wont he play ?" but thats gotta be far fetched.
I;m betting he's spending a fair bit of time talking with his mate Luke Ball (probably a better bloke to talk to about it than even the medico's) ...we all saw that Ball is a similar standard to Judd before he was struck down with this thing (or similar thing) but he has played through the pain and at least contributed to his club until he recovers.
Will Judd play through the problem and accept being a lesser player than he knows he is in a similar way to Luke Ball ? or will they cottonball him ?
My understanding is that the medico's told Ball he would not make it worse by playing...but that video in the sheds after the game of him in agony doesnt seem to support that.
Be a bloody shame if we lost Judd to the same/similar thing....coz there's no evidence that Ball has recovered yet and it has been 2-3 yrs now.
