CibbuanoJudd wins second John Nicholls Medal
September 28th 2009 13:42
CARLTON skipper Chris Judd has won his second consecutive John Nicholls Medal at the Crown Palladium on Monday night.
The win comes just a week after Judd finished second in the Brownlow Medal count to Geelong star Gary Ablett.
Judd polled 558 votes to claim the best-and-fairest award ahead of fellow midfielders Marc Murphy (451) and Bryce Gibbs (415).
Coleman Medallist Brendan Fevola, who elected not to attend the count pending further action against him by the club for his drunken antics at the Brownlow Medal, finished fourth with 390 votes.
Judd played all 23 games in 2009, racking up over 600 disposals on top of a season-high 102 tackles and 137 inside 50s.
Murphy, who was in the 40-man preliminary squad for this year's All-Australian team, played all 23 games for the season, collected a career-high 588 disposals and was the club's third-highest goalkicker with 31 for the year.
Gibbs also played all 23 games for Carlton in 2009 and led the Blues for kicks (321) and total disposals (615).
Meanwhile, Aaron Joseph capped off an impressive debut season by being named the Blues' best first-year player and finishing in the top ten for the John Nicholls Medal.
The 20-year-old tagger, who was taken with the number two pick in last year rookie draft, was elevated to the senior list ahead of round one and played all 23 games.
In other awards, David Ellard was named the Best Clubman, the Spirit of Carlton Encouragement Award went to Jordan Russell and Dennis Armfield won the Women of Carlton Player Ambassador of the Year Award for his on field achievements, community work and the manner in which he represented the club on and off the field this season.
