    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

      I like Judd but I don't like his Visy deal and feel that it has tarnished his legacy more than gouging etc.

            Yep. Hate the game, not the player.

              He was upfront about the deal and the AFL gave it the OK. Should a player not be able to earn money aside from his playing contract?

                If that money paid is commensurate with the work done then I have no issues with it.

                        So you condone his actions? All those acts were deliberate and intended to cause harm to his opposition player.

                        At least Johnson's diving never physically harmed his opponents.
                        Would this be an appropriate time to bring up Libba senior ?

                          I guess you think it is - Do you think Johnson's diving is equal to Judds elbows, gouging, chicken wing?

                          As with Judd, Libba actions were intentional and rightly or wrongly he always felt the wrath of the public and the tribunal.

                            I agree with you azabob, whilst I hate diving but it is in no way as despicable as the incidents Judd has been involved in.
                            The reason I bought up Libba was to try and point out a closer comparison to Judd, Libba was a champion for us but some of his actions on the field late in his career where very poor.

                                As long as you are happy for Ted Whitten to be judged as a bad bloke because of the many times he intended to cause harm to a player.
