Judd superb as Blues batter Demons

For the second successive week, Melbourne's resistance was useless.
Not quite as useless as it - and the Demons - were against Geelong last week, but useless just the same as Chris Judd led Carlton to a 76-point smashing to cap Melbourne's AFL week from hell.
Judd and the Blues put on a masterclass in the 21.8 (134) to 7.16 (58) victory at the MCG, and contained within was a lesson to Melbourne in just how far they are off the AFL pace.
The Demons' last five defeats have been by an average of 94 points, and the club's knife-work on previous coach Dean Bailey during the week did little to change things.
At least Melbourne - under caretaker coach Todd Viney - offered a first 20 minutes of promise, before Judd jumped a steamroller and his Blues teammates hopped aboard.
What followed was a team playing with unbridled enthusiasm crushing one bereft of confidence and spirit.
The Blues played crisp, fluid football which the Demons can only dream of - and look years away from being able to play.
Melbourne were smashed at the clearances, battered at the contested ball and Judd surely pocketed another three umpire votes as he seemingly marches towards a third Brownlow Medal.
His second quarter was simply sublime.
Judd had 12 disposals at 100 per cent efficiency, four clearances, two tackles and two goals - one a remarkable left-foot shot from the right forward pocket only the freakish can convert.
It was among 11 unanswered goals the Blues rained on the Demons from late in the first quarter until the six-minute mark of the third, when Melbourne's best Jack Watts kicked his second.
The Blues led by 58 points at halftime and never relented - Judd finishing with 31 possessions.
He had great support from fellow midfielders Bryce Gibbs and Marc Murphy, while ruckman Robbie Warnock also dominated.
The Blues had 14 individual goalkickers - small forward David Ellard finishing with three majors.
Melbourne's day was made even worse with a badly broken leg to young defender James Strauss and utility Luke Tapscott stretchered off after being knocked out.
Strauss fell to ground awkwardly in a marking contest and initial suggestions are he has broken both bones in his lower leg.
Tapscott was hammered by teammate Stefan Martin in a fourth-term collision and left the field in a neck brace.
