CHRIS Judd says he chose Carlton because they are a powerful club and are going places. The Blues and West Coast completed their trade deal for the Brownlow medallist late in Trade week.

Judd says he was always confident that the clubs would agree on trade and deal.

Judd also said that the past few weeks had been "pretty hectic" but he was delighted to have the paperwork completed and with his move to Carlton signed, sealed and delivered.

Judd is thought to be getting a five-year, million contract with the Blues which will complete the biggest player transfer since Tony Lockett left St Kilda for Sydney in 1994.

Carlton completed the (I think cheap) trade with key forward Josh Kennedy and first and second round selections, number three and 20 overall, in the national draft in return for Judd and the Eagles' third-round selection, number 46 overall.

"I didn't have huge doubts that the deal would get done," Judd said at a media conference at Carlton's Princes Park headquarters.

Judd said that he had selected Carlton because he thought they were a "powerful Melbourne club" that was going places (cough).

"They have got a young and exciting list," Judd said.

"I could be part of something from the ground up, that was the exciting part of it for me."

Judd had battled a groin injury for the second half of the season and had an operation in Sydney two weeks ago (The Blues will be preying that the injury wont return in 2008).

He said the surgery has helped ease some of the pain in his groin, but he will know more at a check-up in six weeks.

Carlton chief executive Greg Swann hailed it a "fantastic day" for the Blues after a "few anxious moments on the way".

"It's one of the most important days we've had here (at the football club)," Swann said.

"Chris Judd is the premier player in the competition and will be a major boost to Carlton as the club embarks on what is a new and exciting era. We look forward to officially welcoming Chris to the Carlton Football Club later this afternoon," Mr Swann said.

Conclusion :

Whilst Carlton has got the good end of the bargain, there's still many factors involved including the slug out of the salary cap, the dodgy groin and ankle problems (The Blues will be hoping that it wont return) and the longevity of Judd's career and on Judd's side of the deal - will Carlton be a (serious) finals contender in the next 5 to 10 years / until the end of Judds playing career, it would be a shame for Judd to finish at a poor performing club.

Chris Judd Trade Talk with Collingwood

COLLINGWOOD yesterday ended the four-day merry-go-round for the services of Chris Judd, but where he ends up is still the million-dollar question.

The Magpies are, if you listen to the jungle drums, favourite to sign him.

Carlton, Melbourne and Essendon are also waiting for a call from Judd's manager Paul Connors.

At least one of those clubs – Carlton – believes Collingwood is the front-runner.

Adding to the intrigue is that Melbourne, the team Judd supported as a youngster, believes it is a chance to secure his signature.

The Bombers spoke to Judd on Sunday.

It's possible Judd might not announce his decision until the start of trade week.

The Magpies, led by president Eddie McGuire, chief executive Gary Pert and coach Mick Malthouse, yesterday met Judd and Connors at the Lexus Centre.

McGuire told Fox Sports' On The Couch the club would now wait for Judd to decide on a team.

"He would be a very good poker player, Chris Judd," McGuire said. "All we did was present the things we believe our club to stand for, the Lexus Centre, the coaching."

"There was nothing there that was any trickiness."

McGuire said rumours of the Magpies looking to trade ruckman Josh Fraser as part of a move for Judd were nonsense.

Fraser missed the preliminary and semi-finals with a back/hip complaint.

"I actually saw Josh and said to him that I'd heard these rumours and they're completely unfounded," McGuire said.

"I wouldn't have thought that Josh Fraser, given the fact we need ruckmen, would be one bloke we would be wanting to get rid of.

"This might all change in two weeks' time when we sit down or if Chris Judd rings up tomorrow and says, `I want to be a Magpie', and then we need to decide what the mix is."

The Eagles have already stated a deal with the Magpies was unlikely because the Magpies did not have low draft picks.

Connors has refused to make any further comment.
