Good on you, Cameron Guthrie!

Thought this was super cool at the time it happened - Cam Guthrie, himself a budding star for the Geelong Cats, stopped former Brownlow medalist Chris Judd of the Carlton Blues after the Cats had wiped them out and did something that happens on occasion on the soccer pitch but almost never in footy. He asked for Judd's jersey.

It was a sign of ultimate respect for the role model Guthrie had as a footy player, and probably the first and last time he'd play Judd in an AFL game. In fact, he probably outplayed his idol that night, but that didn't erase years of admiration. 

Judd's reaction was..."I'm sorry, what?"

As I said, it's not something that footy players do. But Judd couldn't help but be grateful, and he willingly traded jerseys with this young player he may not even really have known.

Privileged to compete against a player I have always had great respect for. Thanks for the jumper @cjayfive
