My favourite Jude moment was that first final against the Weagles in 2005. Blood streaming from his head after a massive contest when he and Kirky were the tackle machines. Patched up and back on. Then to have his melon split open again in the GF and to have his GF photo's in that helmet with that disgusting bloody white bandage. What a champ.
As for the Dwayne Russell quote: he has said two to my knowledge (aside from this one) worth repeating i reckon:
1. Gavin Brown takes a sliding grab and the commentary is: "Brown... skid.... marks" (it's a bloke thing) and
2. Earlier this year talking about Travis Johnstone's beard and hair: "He brings his gear to the ground in an old shopping trolley..."Insert Your Life [HERE]Comment

My fave was in the GF when he was actually running off the ground for a rotation but smothered / intercepted an Eagles move so well the camera lost the ball. Freakish bit of play. Yeah, pity he missed a couple of sitters a year later...

Its no coincidence that he grew into the champ he's become since he stopped popping that talentless bore, Delta.
A great career!'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

Didn't have much time for Jude early in his career - and he was only lukewarm in our glory days, but I think he's one of those players whose contribution you notice more in a losing side.
Not sure if it's that or me just softening to him that makes me think he's been improving over the past 2-3 years (more or less since we offered him for trade).
Like 31, 37, and 6, it will be a sad day when he pulls up stumps.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

Art teacher, according to Dr J. junior, and he should know she taught him. May well have taught English too.
Sensational effort. Just pause for a moment and consider these stats:
VFL/AFL:10981st player to appear, 175th most games played, 720th most goals kicked
Sydney:1297th player to appear, 5th most games played, 44th most goals kicked.
They are amazing stats, and an incredible career that he should be proud of his achievemenst, and we as supporters should be glad we were there to witness the career. From his first game at Optus Oval where his first kick in AFL football was a grubby scrubby kick along the flank to today where in my opinion he is the barometer of the Swans. When Jude fires the team fires, when he doesn't, the team struggles.
Well done Jude. Have enjoyed watching your career unfold.Last edited by Doctor J.; 21 July 2010, 06:44 PM.Comment

Always loved watching Jude. And I agree his game has amped u p in the last few years. Leaving no stone unturned.
Always a charming boy and now a charming man; has the looks and doesn't seem to be particularly impressed by them (that bandbage bear look in the GF is testament to that). All round someone to be proud of, and he has worked and he is loyal.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Jude signed up, Jack is in talks for another contract, what about Hanners???? Out of contract at the end of the season, and we're yet to hear anything (correct me if I'm wrong?).Last edited by swansrob; 22 July 2010, 02:25 AM. Reason: spelt correct wrong and decided to change it before some other smartarse pulled me up for itComment
