Two-time Brownlow medalist and premiership winner Chris Judd will reportedly join the team at Footy Classified for the 2018 season, replacing Garry Lyon.
AFL.com.au believe Judd has won the race to fill the void left by Lyon, who has opted to head across to Fox Footy next year.
Judd has some experience on the popular Channel Nine show, filling in for Lyon for multiple episodes during his break in 2016.
The former West Coast and Carlton midfielder will partner up with Craig Hutchinson, Caroline Wilson and Matthew Lloyd in 2018, when the show returns to Monday night.
Reports have also filtered through that Kane Cornes will become a backup panelist on Footy Classified, when regular hosts are unavailable.
Judd's move marks yet another major media change, as Lyon headlined big moves late last month when he switched to Fox Footy.
Lyon joined St Kilda retiree Nick Riewoldt on the subscription channel, and said he was thrilled to have made the switch.
“I can’t wait to kick-off the 2018 season with my new Fox Footy teammates,” Lyon said in November.
“I’m looking forward to debating all of the latest footy news with Derm [Brereton] and Jase [Dunstall] and getting a first-hand look at the famous Fox Footy Lab.”
