Carlton superstar Chris Judd has been stretchered from the MCG with a knee injury in the first quarter of the Blues’ clash against Adelaide.

Judd, 31, landed heavily on his left leg in a marking contest with Crows’ star Patrick Dangerfield and immediately collapsed to the turf in pain.

The dual-Brownlow medallist started to limp towards the bench from the outer wing with the help of trainers but play was stopped so he could depart the arena on the motorised cart.

He was immediately subbed out of the game with Jason Tutt taking his place.
