Does anyone reckon chris judd should have got the captain of the blue??.?

Question

honestly it is his first year at carlton how many other players in there first year at a new club got to be the captain..?..

Answer 1

**Regardless of how good a player he may be I have not agreed with him getting the captaincy in his first season at the club.

The captaincy is something that needs to be earnt and while he may have deserved it at the West Coast Eagles, I think Carlton should have waited at least one season before giving it to him.**

Answer 2

I don't understand how Cartoln can hand over the captainsy to Judd if he hadn't even played a game with them. Sure, Judd was an absolute gun over at West Coast but who knows if he was going to be respected by the players and vise versa. I would get angry if Geelong got Judd and then he got to be captain. Seriously, what a joke!

Answer 3

No, I think Nick Stevens deserved it more. He only got it because Carlton wanted to entice him to the club. Judd hadn't even played a game for them and he was already captain, what a joke!

Captaincy is not necessarily for the best player, but for a respected figure that is close to those in his club, and knows the team they play for very well. Judd should have got it in a few years.

Answer 4

defs not...

but i dont no bout any1 else who deserves it..

i guess there is nick stevens...

anyway..

go lions!!

Answer 5

its crazy they let the newbie at the club become captain. definately belongs to someone else

Answer 6

Don't take much notice of that Carlton leadership group. They put Gibbs in their leadership group before he had even played an AFL game!

I don't really mind Judd being named as captain though. He has all the experience needed, he has captained a Premiership and leaders like that don't come around everyday. It possibly would have been better to just give him one year to settle in and being a normal player without all the other strings attached that come with captaining an AFL side.

Answer 7

I also think Nick Stevens should have go it before Judd.

And I'm even a Carlton Supporter.

Answer 8

Y NOT

Answer 9

yep, it's happened b4 this year, Barry Davis at north springs to mind, when barrassi got them a flag in his 2nd year, Davis came from essendon, they got into a granny in their first year together, (barrassi, davis, wade, etc) but lost it to the tigers, '74, they won the nest year though over the hawks, seen that one at the G live. stood on the old steel beer cans behind the goal at the city end.

so yeah it's happened a few time b4 that too, barrassi at Carlton, capt/coach etc etc

Answer 10

not sure

Answer 11

For starters i may be biased.

No, I think its pretty cliche, he hadn't even played a game for them. Their just like he did a great job at west coast so why not. The whole judd thing was gone about in the wrong way, so i didn't expect the carlton captainship to be any different. Anyway i feel sorry for the passionate blues players who had dedicated them self for years at Carlton, it would be a kick in the guts for them. I don't think any other clubs would have done that if they were in their position , maybe kangaroos or demons. For example if buddy Franklin decided he wanted to come back and play in his home state i don't think either freo or eagles would give him captain ship straight away. One of the other players (nick stevens) should have got it, even if it was just for a year and then give it to judd, if his doing well.

....have a star*

Answer 12

he doesnt deserve it because why should he get it when he hadnt even played for the club

Answer 13

i think it was wrong. poor nick stevens.. thats like a stab in the back for him. chris judd hasnt even proved himself to the blues yet and still got it. ohwell i guess it was all part of the deal him being captain..lots of money and a million dollar spot at a currupted company.
