CibbuanoJudd still in doubt

CARLTON skipper Chris Judd still remains in serious doubt for Saturday's crucial clash against Richmond at the MCG.
Judd, who was heavily concussed in a collision with Essendon captain Matthew Lloyd at the MCG last Sunday, was restricted to stationary handball and short kicking drills in a brief 15-minute session at Princes Park on Friday.
Blues assistant coach Gavin Crosisca said Judd would be given until the last minute to prove his fitness.
"He wasn't overly flash on Tuesday or Wednesday," Crosisca said.
"We did a little bit of indoor stuff and the lights got to him a little bit."
"They will do the concussion test and so forth but he should be ok."
"He is the sort of player you would give up until 10 minutes before the game to see if he is right."
Crosisca denied reports that the 24-year-old was nursing a cracked cheekbone as a result of his clash with Lloyd.
"There is no bone damage I would think, it's just a bit of a brain wobble," Crosisca said.
"Its not like Chris Judd's an outside player, he is going to be bullocking in straight away so he needs to be confident within himself."
