Farewell Judd McVee

Red and Blue Flame
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

McVee is out of contract end of 2025.

Without being shot down, I have it on pretty good authority that he will be asking to return home/play for West Coast after this contract expires.

I would imagine the club will be trying everything they can to retain Judd - given how good he has been in his first two years in the AFL side. FWIW, Woewodin also put feelers out to WA clubs given limited opportunity/setting record for most games as starting sub last year.

I hope that both of these don't eventuate and would like to think the large contingent of young WA talent will stick together.

    Not overly fussed on Woey as I am not 💯 convinced on him but Judd is a must keep

    Hopefully he signs on for a few more years, but wouldn’t surprise me if he did choose to go home either.

    Would be a lot more disappointed to lose McVee than Woey, but do like both.

    Things can change though, so let’s see what happens as the year progresses.

    Can't abide McVee leaving - not just because he is my fave  🥰!

    Did some checking around.  He loves the club and the coach.  Working on a deal to be announced in the coming month(s).  👏

    So relax folks.

    McVee should have a 3-4 year deal on offer.  He has the skill and composure to be a very very good player.  Let’s get this locked away early in 2025.

    Cal Twomey said on a recent Gettable podcast that West Coast were coming hard for McVee with big $ being thrown around.

    You'd hope he stays loyal seeing as we picked him up in the rookie draft when there wasn't much interest from elsewhere, and the fact he's become good mates with a number of the other young players at the club.

    Plus he's from Geraldton, a 4 and a half drive from Perth.

    We will get cooked in a trade

    Out of contract and no one in the media knows who he is, recipe for disaster

    $$$ always worry me but unless Eagles are being stupid we should be okay.

    Prefer a 3 year deal rather than 4 for the usual reasons

    Eagles appear to have not been very good at attracting the talent back home unlike Freo

    My source is very reliable, so I do hope I'm wrong but i'll be amazed if there is any news in the next few months re staying.

    Can he leave as a FA as he was a rookie?

     

    asking for a very concerned MFC supporter

    No.  But it is rare for someone out of contract to not be trade on request.

    Is that supporter 'Luci' 😉

    Yeah I don't get a go home feeling from Judd at all from interviews. Things can obviously change but he seems to like the city, will be alert but not alarmed.

    Melbourne are prepared to offer Judd a deal to 2029 like they did with JVR. They’ll be happy to accomodate another 2 years though if that’s all he wants. 
     

    He’s very happy at the club and also has a partner who plays in AFLW side.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
