Chris Judd - Footballing Recognition

Footballing Recognition

Judd's has been praised by AFL journalists and past players, in addition to formal awards he has received.

I'm continually amazed the way he plays his game... You hear him interviewed and you think what an unbelievably together, mature, young guy he is. He's a fantastic guy to have.

—Leigh Matthews, VFL/AFL Player of the Century

He is the hardest opponent I've ever played on. I remember watching him when he first burst on to the scene, I actually would look at him as someone I wanted to base my game around. His speed, his accuracy with his skills, his contested football. It's just fantastic.

—Adam Goodes, Dual Brownlow Medallist

I played with magnificent players. Nicholls, Doull, Jesaulenko, but Judd is by far the best I've ever seen. He is just so consistently good, week after week - the way he's going he will win another Brownlow.

—Ted Hopkins, 1970 Carlton premiership player, speaking in May 2011

It is almost super human, the way that he shrugs tackles and wins clearances and shimmies and shakes and sets up scoring opportunities and his consistency.

—Peter Bell, Former Fremantle Captain,

He is a magnificent footballer, an all-time great, yet there is now a but next to his name. He is no longer just Judd the Brownlow medallist. He is a Brownlow medallist, but also a player with a dark element to his name... Judd is not a dirty player. He is mysterious and eccentric. The dark knight.

—Mark Robinson, Herald Sun football writer, in response to Judd's chicken wing tackle in 2012
