Filthy player. Carlscum through and through.
Ease up mate, let's not temp karma shall we?
I don't like him, but I hate to see champions end like that.
Like him or loathe him he was a champion of the game and deserved to go out playing football on his terms.
I won't miss him as he seemed to always play well against us.

He's not that old!!
His first game was against us in Round 2, 2002 at the MCG.
true, forgot about that arrogant mongel worsfold.

He went through the charade of choosing Victorian clubs, Collingwood, Carlton and Melbourne from memory, knowing full well he was going to the Scum because of a dodgy third party deal. Maybe know he can take his rather skinny wife out for a few counter meals to get some beef on her bones.

His stats for his first 100 games were superior to Fyfe and anyone else you care to name and included a Brownlow, Norm Smith and a premiership.
His move to Carlton to escape the toxic West Coast culture may in hindsight be seen as a mistake by both parties but no one can deny he gave them tremendous service. He became a harder inside mid from necessity due to the dearth of quality midfielders compared to the Weagles and while not as spectacular as during his halcyon Perth days he was still an undeniably great player.
It's always sad to see a champion bow out in this manner irrespective of who they play for.
Yep well said, wouldn't wish it on anyone
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!
meh, he played on a year more than he should have and finished a few games short, spare me the crocodile tears! Dirty chicken winging, eye gouging mercenary, he'll get no sympathy from me. Great footballer, yes but the guy is a turd.

Well Tony Lockett just got made a legend and he was a brutally dirty prick (as well as an awesome footballer) but the unsavoury aspects of his game have faded with the passage of time but we still remember his footballing deeds.
It'll be the same with Judd. A few isolated incidents won't detract from Judds achievements and nor should they.

I don't disagree with any of that, it's all this sadness about the way he's bowed out that makes me want to dry retch. Boo hoo, I say
On Lockett, he actually gained some respect from me a few years ago after a rare interview. He said something like "I was nothing special, just a big thug who knew how to kick a football". I suspect he was playing himself down a little but you have to admire the honesty.
Hate the guy, hate his team, hate the dirty things he did on the field, but there's no denying he has been a great of the game. Sad way to go out. Should have been lifted off the ground on his teammates shoulders, not on a stretcher.
Was one of the best footballers of a generation.
I liked watching him for westcoast and was at their flag win. Hated watching him the last few years, seemed to play with a frustration and did some ordinary things. Didn't deserve his second brownlow in that year but a two time winner is probably just.
Hated to see him go out like that.
Was very much looking forward to him retiring after another collingwood win with the blues at the bottom of the ladder.
