Judd Gets To Carlton - Official Trade
Judd and pick 46 go to Carlton, and the Eagles receive big forward Josh Kennedy, pick 3 and pick 20.
From the AFL site: Judd deal completed
Judd goes into the centre square at Carlton and is probably joined by ruckman Matthew Kreuzer as well as Nick Stevens and Marc Murphy. Pick 46 is going to be useful too, and if the Blues can put some of their immense resources into scouting players they could find a future star.
The Eagles get Josh Kennedy, and they will put him in the line of players that includes Mitch Brown as backups for Hansen and Lynch. Pick 3 could be big news on draft day, as Richmond have Morton-itis and probably take Cale, especially if they have already traded for Mitch. That means Trent Cotchin could be the pick, although Rhys Palmer might be a better option. Pick 20 will probably get them another star, and several WA key position prospects will be available there, but they are loaded when it comes to young tall forwards and defenders. A ruckman could be the way to go at pick 20 for the Eagles.
From the Herald Sun: Chris Judd will play for Carlton in 2008

If the Tigers trade for Mitch Morton, or guarantee to pick him in the preseason draft, then Cale Morton joining Richmond would have to be close to a certainty.
At pick 2 the choices for Richmond could be Cale Morton, Trent Cotchin or Ben McEvoy, and maybe two or three other prospects are a chance too. McEvoy is tall, Cotchin is quick, but maybe Morton has both those attributes and will be their pick. Cotchin would be great in the midfield at Richmond with Deledio, but Morton might also help there as well as having the potential to be a key position player.
Tomorrow they might announce that M Morton is on the way to Richmond, and if that happens Cale probably follows. Then they only have to send someone like Tuck to Hawthorn to trade for Jarryd Morton and the Tigers will have the entire family.
