Meanwhile Lovett Murray and McVeigh get the same penalty for bumping.
Great for the kids to know that eye gouging now equals the same as a bump.

At least he went. Vlad would hate having to suspend his golden boy.
Good for the environment.
MRP is ridiculous - I dont know why we bother....

Got off very light... but I'd be lying if I said I was surprised.
Fortunately the damage to his reputation will carry on long after his suspension has been served.
Certainly not the squeaky clean poster boy he used to be.

No tooth Buddy says '**** off I would of killed for an eye gouge' 
2 weeks is fair. Absolutely no need to casually bend over a player on his back and do what Judd did. Whether it was an eye poke, attacking a pressure point confused or scratching his nose, I know if an opposition player did it to one of our boys I'd want them rubbed out, too.
Stupid by Judd but hopefully it means our mids will take some responsibility onto themselves knowing they'll start next year without Juddy by their side.
If you think it's worth anything more, you are kidding yourselves. While it was idiotic, it wasn't forceful enough to justify a larger penalty.

Backdated, so it incorporates his similar effort whilst wearing an Eagles jumper.
Crap isn't it? Try something that could cost a guy his eye and you get two weeks, or equal to Buddy's bump in play
wow 2 weeks with an early plea, i am shocked he got suspended, the system somewhat works
Can't be eye gouging if there is no contact with the eye you fool
Looks like a finger in the eye from the vision.

Just for those Blue fans still in denial...
That is a finger in the eye.

The cynic in me wonders if the suspension would have been the same if Carlton had won and the AFL wanted bums on seats this Friday night

Should have gotten at least six weeks, but seeing it is Judd, 2 weeks is probably more than what i was expecting.

Apparently it can, according to the wise sages on BigFooty.Can't be eye gouging if there is no contact with the eye you fool
I gather he was charged under the "unnecessary contact to the face" misconduct rule? Which is what I thought actually occurred.
Anyway, I have no sympathy for him, what he did was stupid and looked awful. No problems with his being charged and suspended at all.
As to the appropriate length of the suspension, well that can be argued ad infinitum - I would have thought 3-4 myself, so probably about right.
Should have got at least 3000 weeks.
But at least he was found guilty.
But at least he was found guilty.
The incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points). This is a total of six activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Three offence, drawing 325 demerit points and a three-match sanction. He has no existing good or bad record. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 243.75 points and a two-match sanction.
Can't really argue with that.

Eyelid looks closed to me. And the finger looks like it is in the corner of the socket.
Don't get me wrong, I am not defending what he did for one second. But my understanding of eye gouging is forceful contact with the eyeball.
Does the AFL actually have a definition?
Serial offender. Is he now the dirtiest player in the AFL?? Probably.
Thought one would learn - do it once and escape - thank the player who helped you get off and never do it again as your rep has been saved.
Do it again and be treated like a fool by fans from all footy sides. Next season when he returns the fans should wear an eye patch and call it the Judd protection device......
