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: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
