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.

Move to Carlton

On 16 September 2007, two days after West Coast's semi-final elimination by Collingwood, it was announced that Judd would be requesting a trade to his native state of Victoria, despite earlier hinting that he would stay in Perth during an interview with Shane Crawford.[1] He notified West Coast coach John Worsfold and CEO Trevor Nisbett of his intentions earlier that day.[2][3] As arguably the most talented player in the competition, his departure created much attention and speculation among the Melbourne-based clubs, the media and the football community. is the 259th day of the year (260th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

In the weeks following the announcement of his departure, Chris Judd met with four Victorian sides: Essendon, Melbourne, Collingwood and Carlton. It was widely assumed that his future lay with one of these four sides. On Monday October 1, 2007, Chris Judd's manager informed Essendon and Melbourne that they were no longer in the race for his services[4]. Judd's management informed Melbourne that Judd was surprised with their presentation, but felt that their Junction Oval training facilities were "an issue", even though he supported Melbourne in his youth. is the 274th day of the year (275th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

On October 2, 2007 Judd announced that his preferred club was Carlton. Carlton was initially favoured as the club most likely to secure the services of Judd, because they held two early draft picks which could be used in negotiations with West Coast[5]. On October 11, 2007 Judd was officially traded to Carlton along with a third round selection in the 2007 AFL Draft (#46 overall) for Carlton's first and second round selections (#3 and #20) and Josh Kennedy. Judd will wear the #5 guernsey vacated by the trade of Kennedy.[6] After much deliberation over the off-season, Judd was awarded the captaincy of the club entering into his first season with the Blues. His first game in navy blue was a Friday afternoon practice match on March 7, 2008 against the Western Bulldogs at MC Labour Park, with his presence attracting 12,000 fans; Judd scored a goal and had 20 touches.[7] is the 275th day of the year (276th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Judd began playing with Carlton from the first round. Initially below full fitness due to a groin surgery, his ground time was limited, but in Round 3 he had over 30 possessions.

Personal life

Towards the end of 2003, Judd began writing a column on the West Coast Eagles official website called "Juddy's Jibe". Some of his opinions presented in these columns prompted extensive media commentary, such as his view that footballers should not be role models. Throughout the 2006 season, the column was also published in Melbourne newspaper The Age, where Judd spoke about issues such as global warming, terrorism, superficiality in the mass media, world peace and James Surowiecki's book The Wisdom of Crowds.
