Football career

West Coast Eagles

Although concerns surrounding his shoulders, which had been operated on twice already prior to the age of eighteen, clouded his prospects, Judd was selected by West Coast with the third pick in the 2001 AFL National Draft. Expectations continued to rise when he was awarded the number three guernsey at West Coast, worn previously by former club premiership hero Chris Mainwairing. Judd responded with a four-goal haul in what would be his lone appearance in the WAFL for East Perth, ultimately earning the maximum five votes in the Sandover Medal count and prompting the Eagles to debut him in the senior side the following week.

Throughout the 2007 AFL season, Judd's future at West Coast was the subject of much speculation after his declaration that he would not enter into contract discussions with the club until the completion of the season. Mid-year, Judd's chronic groin injury sidelined him for several weeks. When he returned to the game, his performance continued to be restricted by the injury (he played in the forward line) and he was rested for several games in anticipation of playing in the finals series.

On October 2, 2007 Judd announced that his preferred club was Carlton.
