Fantastic Five: Chris Judd's best moments | AFL

A superstar for West Coast and later Carlton, Judd dazzled in midfield with his breakneck speed and power to break tackles and finish on the scoreboard. A dual Brownlow medallist, premiership player and Norm Smith medal winner in a losing Grand Final team is a rare combination to earn.

Best centre setup ever in AFL , Judd , Cousin and Kerr omfg

[@falcon5095]

Cox

[@Doogsay]

Yep, spot on.

[@itsbrookseynbazil4689]

Plus cox and embley, there midfield is unbeatable

[@pavementpounder7502]

Best midfield trio

[@valueinvestor77]

Pff, I’ll take Voss, Lappin and Black.

[@Bridels]

At 2:25 hearing the commentator actually jizz himself over Judd shows how good he was

[@jcc1760]

The most explosive player from a stoppage we ve ever seen in our great game

[@phillarkin8720]

Judd is one of the best players I have ever seen. But why do highlight makers always concentrate around goals. Judd did a lot of team orientated work off the ball as well. A true team player. One of the best ever players.

[@Kim-zd4sq]

West Coast Judd was ridiculous

[@Reboundfifty]

Better than Carlton judd, no premiership & 1 wooden spoon

[@obi-nine1504]

HjamesR23 I’m a die hard Carlton supporter, and even I reckon west coast Judd was better, don’t get me wrong Carlton Judd was a gun as well, our best ever midfielder, but west coast Judd is the best pure mid ever.

[@Doogsay]

As much as I do love the great man, Judd after his prime traded for Kennedy well before his was a brilliant trade.

[@djtridium]

Arguably the greatest trade in afl history (it is in my opinion)

[@jimbohaha43]

@@djtridium it would be if the eagles drafted better. It was a win win trade though - Carlton got the messiah and the eagles got the key forward they were desperate for

[@kanemareolas508]

​@@jimbohaha43however the Eagles won a premiership out of it and the blues haven't as of yet (definitely haven't while Judd was there). If success is measured by premierships (which in my mind it is), then the Eagles won the trade.

[@SOYCD99]

Chris Judd with hair was the greatest player I've ever seen.

[@Dr_Footbrake]

A.M. Benny was my favourite player growing up but he couldn’t do a lot of what Judd could

[@dominikweil1485]

@@Dr_FootbrakeJudds skills were better but, Cousins was a better gut runner, and Kerr getting in and under shoveling hand balls out to both Cousins and Juddy, plus Cox's tap work. It was an amazing midfield.

[@nobdbbd3346]

Gary Ablett jnr was better

[@bullymaquire8797]

What does being a“Richmond fan” have to do with anything? You honesty believe you have any incentive in the outcome of what transpires in the AFL past and present? Talk about dissociative dissolution.

[@HisTuness]

Dermotts reaction says it all, 5 goals in a half at that age from the middle 🤣 The player was just built differently.

[@padzsc]

He was simply and utterly the best

[@mikeclifford7525]

Thought his goal late in the 2013 Elimination final against Richmond should have been in there. Biggest roar ive heard at a game

[@thanhquach8155]

One of the best ever played the game!

[@jlrob85]

#3 At full speed picking up the ball with his non preferred, snapping it on the run on his non preferred whilst being chased down by Chappy. Amazing

[@capta1nnark546]

The prelim against neil craigs crows was also a great performance. In that game he sold the dummy and bounced the ball at the same time, craziest thing i have ever seen. Shoulda been on here. West coast judd is right up there with duck, lethal and the abletts as the goats

[@timtam8771]

Congratulations on a great career Voldemort.

[@nutcase3549]

What a great player and role model this bloke is

[@Doogsay]

In my opinion, GOAT. Best player I've ever watched. Could escape a contest with ball in hand better than any other player.

[@Aussiebloke311]

Ide take him over prime Ablett any day

[@Doogsay]

Yep me too.

[@jj6392]

Prime Judd will always beat prime Ablett. only sheep from geelong say otherwise

[@nobdbbd3346]

Nah

[@JohnJones-gu3rs]

prime Judd was good for a half of football, rarely played 4 quarters. Ablett would play 5 if he could. Ablett > Judd. let alone the accolades

[@saint5852]

please don’t compare them after they have retired just be happy you got to see them both play

[@gregarroinalidadavich9220]

Surprised the chicken wing didn't make the cut

[@jewdavid5627]

He was great across the half-back line. He had amazing speed.

[@obi-nine1504]

he never played in the backline what are you on about. he was just incredibly explosive from the stoppage. GOAT midfielder

[@celiamacanlalay3775]

Judd no need for the 'Dusty' push off...just beat them with sheer guts, talent and running

not only that judd had some insane core strength, he was incredibly hard to tackle.

[@thebradmarkschannel957]

Worst trade ever, Chris Judd would of been the greatest player to ever play if he didn't leave the eagles.

[@broando336]

didnt we trade him for Kennedy?

[@TribbyGibby]

Got him for Kennedy who is about to break the all time West Coast goalkicking record, 2 x colemans and played a key role in getting west coast to 5 of the last 7 finals series, far from the worst trade ever

[@fren183]

I think he is saying it was the worst trade from Chris' perspective. Leaving west coast to join the rabble that is CFC.

[@jayv8068]

? Judd was overrated as hell, probably one of the most overrated. He kept making a 'tired' expression every 2 seconds and di hardly anything at carlton. In fact his 2 most memorable moments at Carlton was giving someone a chicken wing and eye gouging

[@aidanking1501]

What about the chicken wing tackle?

[@westwalk9953]

You’d think winning a flag as captain would at least make the top 5?

[@Reboundfifty]

Apparently winning a norm smith in a losing side is more important haha

[@philippe_1984]

He never wanted to be captain and the 2006 GF was not a game in which he contributed to his top abilities. The games against Sydney were always played under their sluggish play. Winning '06 was a huge effort against a well drilled side.

Ummm can you not be rude? That’s my opinion

[@MegaLiterally]

Sorry let me re-phrase that. Thanks for your opinion, in my opinion you are wrong :)

[@Dr_Footbrake]

Arguably a better all round player, but not nearly as influential on games as when he was at WC. His career kinda reminds me of Michael Jordan’s where he had to adapt his playing style as he got older and some of his physical qualities dropped off which, imo, actually raises his (Judd’s) standing amongst the greats.

[@obi-nine1504]

@@Dr_Footbrake that’s a good way to look at it. i agree
