He was the scapegoat yesterday for an unaccountable Salem, who was running around doing a lot of pointing

Exactly,Salem's player goes back,McVee's player runs up the ground so Salem switches.easy to have 30+ and not man up

    According to Caro in her article this morning, McVee “looks likely to depart”.

    This is one of the strangest situations I can recall. Every indication is that he wants out except for the complete opposite indication coming from@Ghostwriter and @Dannyz .

    I'd trust Ghosty before Caro she always wrong. She is just another jornalist parrasite

    I wouldn't be fooled by his reduced output this year. Has had a delayed start at a confused club.

    He has the combination of grit and silk which we sorely need.

    The kid is quality and I would be shattered to see him walk.

    Regardless of any talk on here from GW or journo’s, I’m concerned. The facts are the club is very quiet with any positive news of a signing. The clubs used contract signings last year as a tool for harbour hope and direction. The silence here is deafening.

    Im only taking one aspect seriously.

    He HASN'T signed.

    No reason not to.... ( that we know of )

    Why ?

    Doesn’t matter whose scuttlebutt is aired... the fact remains he's unsigned.

    Strikes me as odd and a concern.... irrespective of anyone's assurances

    My concern here is in a year when our young talent and commitment is more important as it is clear our premier window is closed, the club is not making any announcements. Particularly after the win this weekend.

    I’m hopeful it’s announced in the next two days on slower news days. Without an announcement this weekend, it’s more likely he has not signed and he is open to moving elsewhere.

    Last year’s announcements were on the back of we can bounce back as contenders.

    This , i believe , is in Judd's court. He's holding out. Club can't announce what it hasn't got.

    Why is he baulking ??

    Money? If he can get an extra $100k+ per year elsewhere on a longer contract, why not hold out?

    He's seen plenty of others at the club get nice, big fat contracts so why not get in for his chop

    Should we now be expecting a signing in light of the Goodwin news? Telling, if so.

    This might not be the case. But something was/is causing him to baulk. It had crossed my mind is he waiting to seasons end, or thereabouts, to see the lay of the land. Could be more than just the coaching. 🤷‍♂️ might be nothing to do with coaching 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    Intriguing though for sure.

    But Ghost also said Goodwin was here to stay, so hard to know what will eventuate.

    This caught my eye too

    Hard to tell if this is just Ralphy connecting the dots but would be poor man management by Goodwin to have flagged this with him at the start of the season and then never delivered (ditto for Rivers in the midfield)

    McVee will be a weapon if unleashed. As commented before we need him in whatever role we were trying to mould Windsor into in defence.

    Bowza & McVee need to control our ball movement from defence.

    Wouldn't mind seeing McVee on the wing at center bounce. Not quite physical enough to be a starter mid, but great runner, great skills and can involved at stoppage still.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
