The Spirit of Carlton Past and Present would like to congratulate Chris Judd on a magnificent playing career with the West Coast Eagles and the Carlton Football Club. While the end of a playing career is often a tough transition one thing that Chris can look forward to is his career getting better and better with every passing year.
We received a lovely note from Brian McMahon, a Blues member of over 50 years standing and would like to share it with the broader Carlton family.
Such a sad day after such an improved performance by the Blues.
A shame Chris could not play out his career with a developing young team now we have our SPIRIT back.
In every way Judd epitomised the ” SPIRIT OF CARLTON”.
When all seemed lost he walked into our Club when we were down and out after years on the bottom of the ladder.
He set our standards again, led by example, gave us hope and taught us to win and restored our pride.
He as Captain led us into finals and won. Whenever he was on the ground the game was never over and could be won!
Thank you number 5 you join the Carlton greats.
