Is the Judd Vs Hodge thing settled now?

Re: Is the Judd Vs Hodge thing settled now?

I think Hodge still gets picked first if you could start over. He's had a massive say in Hawthorn winning 4 flags and that's what they play footy for. Judd was an unbelievable player at his best. Hodge has the intangibles, the leadership, the ability to will himself onto the big moments of a game and lift his side as much as any player we've seen.

Has Hodge ever gouged any eyes, or done a chicken wing? Because that's what I associate with Judd.

Good thing Hodge is so fair and clean. Kinda bloke you'd love to have a beer with. (Just get the keys off him first)

I feel sorry for you to be honest. I think of his blitzing run's, his brilliance at West Coast, that insane 5 goal half.

Silly arguement. Does Judd drive home pissed?

Has Judd ever tried to decapitate someone with a point post?

I've still got Judd btw. I think there is a recency/premiership bias towards this argument; 03-07 Judd was untouchable, and the best player I've ever seen.

I wasn't really watching football when Judd was at West Coast so that all passed me by. I'll take your word for it.

And don't let him drink any beer.

That forearm to the face of Swallow should have earned a 4 week spell. If I was just judging fairness between he and Judd I would lean towards Judd.

This is hard because Judd lost so much of his physical capability in the second half of his career, much like Cooney

Judd at his best was better

Agree. Judd also played the last half of his career carrying a rabble. Imagine his record if he'd spent that time at Hawthorn.

Disagree. I think it's legitimate to take nasty on-field actions into account when assessing a player, as a player. Agree that off-field behaviour is not relevant to that judgement.

Then surely you'd acknowledge that Hodge had his fair share of moments when it comes to foul play?

Re: Is the Judd Vs Hodge thing settled now?

Sure. A pox on both their houses.

Re: Is the Judd Vs Hodge thing settled now?

Judd for me, just as much a big game player as Hodge - won a Norm in his first GF and was the leading possession winner on the winning team in his second.
