The Daily Judd
Issue #16: If A "Luke" Had Gone At Pick 3 In 2001
Just a "what if" scenario to consider. What if the 2001 AFL draft had Judd go earlier, and one of the Luke's go to the Eagles. Would the Eagles have made the two Grand Finals, would they have won one of them, maybe the Luke would have left after a couple of years in the West.
If Luke was coming back to Victoria now, would it be the biggest news item, would fans be celebrating Luke announcing he wanted to join their team, maybe their would be a Daily Luke post but probably not.
_____________________________ ___________
Slightly overshadowed by the news of Scott Camporeale's retirement announcement, there were also reports of Chris Judd deciding on the club he wanted to go to. It is Carlton, and it will be a lot easier for the Eagles to trade with the Blues than it would have been if the Magpies were Judd's preferred option. Pick 3, which could be Palmer or Morton, as well as a later pick and probably a player or two. Josh Kennedy's name is mentioned all the time, but with Hansen, Lynch, Brown and a few other tall players the Eagles are not a great fit for him.
Until the trade is official, anything can happen. But it could all be over on Monday, which would be Juddment Day.
From the Carlton site: Judd nominates Carlton as his preferred option
From the Herald Sun: Chris Judd decides to become a Blue
