Judd gets three matches

Re: Judd gets three matches

Great stuff... I'd like to know, will they finish with "In summing up, it's the Constitution, it's Mabo, it's justice, it's law, it's the vibe, and, uh ... No, that's it. It's the vibe."???

I love it, there will never be a lawyer as funny, as loveable and as out of his depth.

Although that great summation made about as much sense as their claim will, there is no chance the blue filth will look to a creative denoument, they oppose all those things and most importantly they oppose humour.

Otherwise we'd all be invited to laugh at the pressure point, no pressure point fiasco, humour might have saved him.. because right now the Judster is starting to smell like fish left too long in the sun.

Re: Judd gets three matches

Heard on the radio the jury can only look at the footage and not take into account his comments...

This is a bit like in a court of law where a judge rules out certain comments. That is very good for the legal niceties, but the fact is everyone has heard them. Sure you can't obviously base your conclusion on them but how can you ignore them.... that is unless all along you had wanted an excuse to let the accused get off scot free.

This time I think his tongue has dug his grave for him and seriously undermined his image at the same time.

A tool of the week nomination heading his way.

Re: Judd gets three matches

It would appear that it's more about what he said than the actions he took. I'd hate it to be one of our boys being rubbed out for that incident.

Disagree, Judd here has history. He luckily got off lighty that time. This time hands were in the face no where near the ball, might not have been gouging but certainly they didn't need to be there.
Still there is no valid explaination on why his hand was there. 3 weeks might be exessive but a lesson needs to be learnt not just by him but others wanting to put hands in the face.

The agrument of insufficient force in this case and others is ridiculous when attempted striking gets done. Besides insufficient force can just mean you have done it poorly and should be no excuse.

Re: Judd gets three matches

I would give him an extra week for wasting time. He was told 3 if he lost or 2 if he didn't contest. He took the chance and lost. Everyone knows that the head is untouchable accidental bump of fingers alike no touchie do we need to have another DVD telling players that Kung FU is an unacceptable way of preventing a player trying to contest the ball.

I'd hate it for a Bulldog player to be missing weeks for the same incident.

When was the last time a player let alone one of ours put the hand in the face of player that wasn't near the ball?
You must of been upset when Libba and Romero got done?
Judd got his just reward.

Gets better... after losing the appeal, Sir Judd says "I've since watched a couple of Steven Seagal movies and realised that pressure points are no laughing matter".

And they say footballers are big, dumb jocks...

Re: Judd gets three matches

As much as it being a Carlton playing makes it amusing that he got 3 weeks. It is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS that Judd was suspended for 3 matches for something so trivial.

We have a great sport. And in most respects it is well run - but the tribunal and direction of the rules committee's are farcicial. 3 weeks suspension for that is embarrassing.

How is putting a hand in the face of an opponent on the ground not near the ball trivial? Its hardly a weekly occurance. Millimetres away from the eyes. I suppose thats ok.
Still no valid explaination in what he was trying to do.

I don't understand all the people saying this. He was literally millimeters away from an eye gouge and we still haven't heard him give any excuse for what his hands were doing in that area. Why anyone would attempt to touch someone near the eyes is beyond me and whilst 3 weeks is excessive it is needed as this is the first time it has been charged and a statement needs to be made.

This is all forgetting the fact that he did even worse to Brown last time.

I'm still patiently waiting for his reason for doing it. All we got was the martial arts which was apparently a joke.

Re: Judd gets three matches

He didn't put his fingers in the eyes of the Lions player. If he had have done that - then of course it is more severe.

3 weeks is a very severe penalty for putting your hands on someone's face. He didn't hurt the player.
1 week would have sent the message that its unacceptable.

Serious question: Do you honestly think 3 weeks is a fair suspension for that incidence? remembering that slow motion makes the player appear to have much more 'intent' - as it was actual only about a second that his hand was on the players face.

Re: Judd gets three matches

And players that get suspended for attempted striking don't actually touch a player but their intent is clear and they usually get 1-2 weeks. Judd got 2 and fought it, which increased it to 3.

Mind you if Brown didn't lie for him I think he would have gotten 4. Then again if Brown didn't lie for him I doubt he would have done it again.
