Judd gets 3 weeks, escapes attempted murder charge

[Andrew Mc]

Q: Just how much of this sort of crap do you think Judd would be copping week in, week out, year in, year out. Judd (and the others above) can't fart on a football field without being rammed into the turf by five players. Big f%^ken deal if they give a bit back occasionally.

Can't ever remember him being eye gouged. So, how much of "this sort of crap": none. Dog act.

 

[legend166]

The 'I was going for his pressure points' thing is incredibly bizarre.

 

[flea29]

Not only has Judd brought the game into disrepute, if he wins the 2009 Brownlow, he'll do the same to that award. Not much can be done about that, but it will be forever tainted if he does win it.

As for the 2010 Brownlow, my understanding is that a player is ineligible for the award if he serves a suspension during that season, regardless of when the offence occured, but I'm prepared to be proven wrong on that.

Bit over the top.
Why would the 2009 Brownlow Medal (awarded to the best & fairest player of the H&A season) be tainted if Judd won?

Can't find the rules at the moment but I'm 99.9% sure you are wrong on the 2nd point.

He's done the crime, he'll do the time. Would have him at the Lions every day of the week!

Breaking News :

Carlton to play Fremantle at Etihad Stadium in Rd 1 and Rd 2.

haha! loved it!

 

[Andrew Mc]

sen said he had no prior record but didnt he get a week for whacking stevie baker a couple years ago?

May have been outside the time period for prior offences, but you'd think whacking Baker would earn him credit anyway.

Let me put in my two cents worth:

- 2 weeks (or 3 weeks) is fair enough - deserves it.


To all those flogs carrying on about how his halo has slipped - let me ask you one thing (and this applies to all the absolute superstars out there including Buddy, Matthew Lloyd, Gary Ablett, Reiwoldt etc ...):

I agree with you however none of the players mentioned above have been charged twice with the same disguisting offience. I would accept a fist to the face or another players gut but the head is out of bounds according to the AFL - what is even worse is that he used the excuse that he tried to use a pressure point attack.

Chris, after the Campbell Brown attack you got off because Brownie lied - what the hell are you doing it again for

Oh and one other thing if you try and pop the finger in young Rebecca and miss what excuse do you use then - just doing the Hopiate

Fair summary of what's going on imho.

Absolutely stupid act by Judd and the penalty is appropriate, with over the top bigfooty commentry.

I was disgusted and supprised when he had a got at Brown years ago. Watching on TV over the weekend has unbelievable. He was so casual and considered and would obviously be captured on TV.

It is difficult to imaging why he would do so unlwess he has a brain wiring problem.

 

[Madblue]

Obviously not an eye gouge but still a rediculous thing to put fingers anywhere on an opponents face. Deserved the suspension no doubt so he'll cop it and move on.

 

[Father Jack]

what bits of the MRP's decision is at issue here? It all looks pretty straightforward to me, i don't think he deserved any more weeks than he got.

 

[The Riddler]

Fail.

 

[jcraw1]

"I was pushing my thumb into the pressure point behind his ear," Chris Judd said.

What in the name of ****?

If that was behind the ear I'd hate to imagine what his missus has to put up with in the bedroom

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Let's be honest - for that sort of chinese reflexology you'd normally have to pay $100 or more

Riski Business should be thankful he didn't have to pay for any treatment. Plus Judd had the good sense to wipe the sleep out of his eye for him!!

Sweet.

Open season on Aaron Joseph folks. Andy Lucimitis says its okay.

Simon Black gets tagged just as hard as Judd, never seen him go the eye gouge.

[corncob95]

can he take his punishment in the n.a.b cup

 

[RichoRox12]

3 weeks is not enough. What he did was disgraceful.

The bump is actually part of football - the eyes go nowhere near the ball other than to look at it. To even have the thought process of attacking a player's pressure points or his eyes or whatever he supposably tried to do is quite disturbing.

Very true BrownDog,

There's not many Carlton supporters defending his actions, even his bizarre excuse. I just think he was being scragged and snapped.

It happens to the best midfielders: Ablett, Black, Harvey,Voss etc (and of course Judd). Taggers will do what they can to put them off their game, Joseph included.

Great win by the way, I was gutted but have full respect for Brissie. Good luck against the Doggies.

 

[Madblue]

Wasn't an eye gouge, wasn't charge with an eye gouge ! Just stupid unneccesary contact to the face by Juddy and he's paying the price, which he deserves.

 

[Bell Ringer]

Using "The Waterboy" to motivate the boys during the week backfired massively on Ratten...

Rischa: "He poked me in the eye!"

Juddy: "Captain Insano shows no mercy"

 

[Seadog]

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

Buddy would've got one week with a guilty plea. So probably about right.

 

[longsuffreosupp]

Pressure point wtf?


Should consider himself lucky he didnt get it and knock the person out.

 

[King_of_BigFooty]

Scumbag mercenary.

He has become the most hated player in the game along with his w***er team mate Brendan Fevola, and rightly so.

 

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Juddy, a friend says hello...

"I'll show you how to apply this pressure point technique properly!"

 

[purpleman]

There should be a board up at the G for all players suspended for gouging, biting and spitting.

Perhaps the Visy Board

Or maybe the Chris Lewis Board, seems a common theme down at wiggle central
