At least he's represented Collingwood for premiership points,Judd "earnt" his captaincy by jogging a few laps at training.
It just shows what a joke Carlton is that this mercenary can get the captaincy without playing a game for the club.Judd won't make much difference to the blues anyway.It's like adding cream to a pile of dog****.It might make it more palatable but it's still dog****.

Judd *earnt* his captaincy by winning a Brownlow and a Premiership by 23. Name me one player in Collingwood's 100+ year history that has done the same.

Didn't think so champ, keep em' coming though I'm having fun

That's too easy.
Albert Collier won a Brownlow and played in three consecutive premierships by the age of 20.Chris Judd has a ways to go before he can be compared to an immortal like that.
Name me a player in Carltons history who could match that sweety?
I won't hold my breath waiting for an answer.

Well there you go I'll eat my words on that one. Considering it happened 80 years ago in a non-national amateur competition though I'd have to scour perhaps the Diamond Valley Football League to find a player to 'match it' up against the same calibre of opposition old Albert had to face up against.

I'll give you this one though, except in the end, your 'immortal' has been dead for over 20 years.

So you can cling on to that all you want in the end I'm not fussed haha

It's irrelevent when it happened,you can only go by what they achieved when they played and Collier achieved plenty.

I mean Carlton supporters continue to claim that Big Nick was the best ever ruckman,even though he was 6ft 2,fat and slow.Imagine what athletes like Dean Cox or Josh Fraser would do to him.

Albert Collier will always be a Collingwood immortal in that he'll always be remembered and revered by the Magpie family,and I'm proud to cling on to that.

Big Nick was the best ruckman of his era hands down, best ruckman ever is too contentious as a ruckmans job now is to do more than get in the way and win hitouts. I'm only stirring mate, you know carlton and collingwood fans, its all in good fun I'd never read about Collier but after looking at his resume he was a pretty impressive specimen!

I'm only giving some stick here cus I haven't had much to talk about for 5 years

Likewise.
I love the rivalry between us,and I actually look forward to the day when we can square off for the big one (and hopefully return the favour for all the Grand Final defeats you've gave us).No rivalry can compete with Collingwood/Carlton.

Although you could mount a case for Polly Farmer as the best of his era,Big Nick was great no worries about that,just watch the 72 Grand Final to see what he could do.I retract what I said previously about him.

haha yeah thats a nice list of names you gave there. And while were on it, what names do you have on your 2008 list? I would've maybe given you Buckley and Clement except they're retired. Ain't much left after that love! At least our 'no names' are only 20 years old, yours are almost 30! Things are lookin up at Victoria Park! lol

in the competition average age 21, so get your facts straight "love"... and it doesn't change the fact that your team sux

Jessica this year, believe it or not, is 2008, you were talking in reference to 2007 when calling us tankers, in 2007 we had the youngest list in the AFL. This year you may have the youngest list, well researched, irrelevant, but well researched...

Carlton still has the youngest list... she is just making things up JessW.

Get over it JessW, it is 2008 meaning that some of those famous names you mention are 30 years or older. I dont see that a 5 point loss to the over-whelming premiership favourites last year is a choke after having no expectation to win it. Maybe instead of tanking games we should let you people clean our club rooms for money, we paywell

Ahhh jokes about money, Here you go Joel follow up on this ad.

You can use that Delorean to travel back five years to when that joke might've been relevant

You ever heard of a little know multi-billionare called Richard Pratt?

Eddie hasn't even gotten to the level of washing our president's shoes let alone his room.

Sorry Kylie what is it exactly that Collingwood have to show for last season? In fact while were at it what exactly do you have to show for the last 17 years?
I don't necessarily believe we tanked, we're the youngest team in the whole competition, but if we did I'd still rather be tankers than CHOKERS!

Riiight, cus the aim of participating in the AFL is to have as many mid table finishes as possible and to win one premiership in over 40 years...

mmhmm.

You're right I can definately see that Collingwood supporters are asses.
