Charity, family, the end of an era, and a bloke smashing his expensive golf club. Not a bad week we’ve had. Here’s the top five stories from aflplayers.com.au.
1. Chris Judd calls it quits
We’ve heard plenty about the champ this week. And everyone was lining up to pay tribute. Our favourite line came from ‘Juddy’ himself. Asked how he’d like to be remembered, Judd said: “Just as a country boy with a heart of gold. Not being from the country, that’s going to be hard.”
2. Daniher makes a difference

3. Oxley loses his head
There’s no point trying to explain this one. Just watch Collingwood young gun Adam Oxley in the video. Costly trick, Ox.
4. The Power of fitness
“I don’t think it’s just a coincidence that I have played my best when I have been able to train hard and get my body best prepared.” Jay Schulz knows all the fitness secrets. Now, you can have them.
5. Jonesy’s biggest fan
Melbourne skipper Nathan Jones is the ultimate family man. His greatest fan – his grandfather George – was a special influence on his life.
