Brett Ratten's side was criticised for not coming to the aid of its captain more during Saturday night's nine-point loss to Fremantle.
Judd seemed agitated much of the evening after being on the end of some close-checking tactics from Fremantle's Adam McPhee.
Hadley said while the Blues had not directly addressed Judd's weekly plight during their post-match review, the playing group realised the need to give their midfield general greater support.
“Hats off to all the gun players who get tagged,” Hadley said on Tuesday.
“It's a tough job. As a team, we probably need to look after [Judd] a bit more.
“You go out there and try to look after your best players and give them the football, so we'll try to look at that in the second half of the year.”
Judd also came under scrutiny for a clash with Fremantle captain Matthew Pavlich, but the incident did not draw further attention from the match review panel.
However, teammate Jarrad Waite wasn’t as lucky and will miss the next two games after accepting his ban for engaging in rough conduct on Freo’s Paul Duffield.
On Monday night, Ratten defended Waite’s actions, believing his forward intended to lay a fair shepherd.
Hadley, speaking before the Blues attempted to lift their spirits with a paintball session, also backed Waite’s physical approach and was reluctant to suggest the big man needed to curb his aggression.
“He’s been unfortunate,” Hadley said on Tuesday morning.
“A few of them have been touch and go. The club will look at it with him and work with him.
“I’m not sure which direction they’re going [with this report] but I’m sure they’ll have a look and see if there’s anything he can be doing to not come under scrutiny.”
Carlton is 7-6 after 13 rounds and Hadley said finals were still very much in the Blues’ thinking heading into the back end of the season.
The Blues will enjoy a few relaxing during the bye but once they resume training duties it could well be mouthguards in.
Hadley said after watching its review against Fremantle, the side had indentified where it fell down against Mark Harvey’s side.
“We didn’t play team footy, we didn’t go in hard enough,” Hadley said.
“They were the bits we take out of the game. That was all that was said ... we basically just haven’t gone in and got the contested ball.
“We need to get on the front foot and win the footy.”
