the eagles are not in any possition to negotiate his pay
and any player manager worth his mustard would quiet simpley leak it to the media the eagles want to pay him less and watch the vic clubs scramble to offer higher bids !!
i know for a fact the eagles are trying to play the hand of contiued sucess with relations to finals apperances as a lure to keep him and even if he is injured he will still comand a high pay packet
i think your collingwood friend is just hopful that collingwood can buy his services
maybe
as collingwood people go he is a fairly decent bloke, and quite the opposite to the stereotype and comes across an honest bloke.
when I posted that Judd had a long term injury he turned out to be right on that based on subsequent press, and some of the stuff about dudak turned out to be right too, so i am of a tendancy to believe there may be some truth in his rumours.
either way Judd at his best is devastating player, at an incapacitated level he is still a handy player to have around.
continued success is a powerful lure and kept brisbane together for a number of years.
with judd it might be worth him staying plus tenure of contract plus even if he is offered a couple of hundred grand less, he'd still be on a phat contract.
