The Daily Judd
Issue #2: Don't Forget His Number
It probably isn't the most important item, but when Judd moves there will be some clubs who present him with number 3 and others that won't. Here are the best teams for Judd to get his number, and also included is the player who had number 3 this season.
Melbourne - Clint Bizzell
Why was Bizzell even at Melbourne in the first place, that doesn't matter as he is gone now, so number 3 is waiting for a new owner.
Essendon - Scott Gumbleton
Matthew Lloyd seems to be working out a trade for Judd, possibly as he takes a break from looking for a new coach at Essendon, and that trade could involve Gumbleton.
Collingwood - Ryan Lonie
The Magpies don't really have picks or players to offer, but they are still a big chance to get Judd. There won't be anyone at Collingwood unhappy to give Judd number 3.
St Kilda - Xavier Clarke
The Saints were expecting Judd to drop to pick 5 in the 2001 AFL draft, he didn't so the Saints picked Clarke. The Saints wouldn't mind trading all their Clarkes if it meant they got Judd.
Western Bulldogs - Chris Grant
He has a great past, while Judd would provide a great future. It is unlikely that Judd would become a Bulldog, so Grant will probably wear number 3 for another season.
Kangaroos - Brady Rawlings
If the Kangaroos do get Judd, then rawlings could just switch to number 8. As Wells is one of the only real trade assets the Kangaroos have.
Carlton - Marc Murphy
Murphy could still have the locker next to Gibbs by changing to number 5.
Richmond - Brett Deledio
Deledio and Judd are close to the exact same height and weight, so maybe some wouldn't notice if Judd was in the number 3 next year. Although there is the hair.
Hawthorn - Jordan Lewis
Number 3 will be missing at the start f next season, as Lewis is suspended. The Hawks already had a chance to get Judd, they may not get another .
Geelong - Jimmy Bartel
If Geelong win a couple more games they won't care about the trade week, they probably won't even know it is on.
If Judd did end up at Richmond, some available numbers are 2 and 13. If he isn't superstitious, 13 might be a good choice. At Carlton, they might also have 2 and 13 available. If Carlton move out the disappointing Russell, 2 becomes available. Whitnall seems to be on the way out, Luke Blackwell would probably get number 8, which would mean 13 is free.
