    I posted on here that Rivers is one of the players wanting to go home for personal reasons and was ridiculed. This year did nothing to curb that refusing to give him midfield time.

    New coach has a big job on his hands because this guy is a future captain

    I think we only trade RivDog is if Dogga is coming back the other way. If not then I would be [censored].

    Trent’s main issue, the one the football department are always onto him about, is his defensive work rate.

    Of everybody who played an AFL game this season, nobody has a higher missed tackle % than him. He’s around 45%, which is comfortably clear of the next worst player in the competition. The best two way mids are generally between 25-30%.

    That’s incredibly damning for a bloke who started off as a defender. Because of this he’s not getting the midfield time he wants, and the footy department are absolutely correct to demand his pressure and defensive intent improves before he’s a regular in there.

    Freo are dangling pick 11 out there.

    https://www.afl.com.au/news/1416630/fremantle-dockers-dangle-early-draft-pick-in-bid-to-secure-mature-talent

    I wonder if we could get pick 11 for McVee and obviously we give them a material draft pick their way (say in the 20's)

    Disappointing if he leaves. I just took for granted that he'd be a 200 gamer for us.

    Given what our track watchers have said, it's a confusing situation (not doubting the intel)

    Pick 11 in a weak draft which is heavily compromised, not sure I like that.

    IF he was to be traded, what would a fair trade for us be?

    I doubt Freo would entertain trading pick 11 for Judd unless there were quite a few pick swaps involved or even players.

    We must keep this guy. For a team that is FINALLY building up some good ball users (slowly) its so important we don't let one go.

    Keeping Judd means we can continue trialling our best backline ball users further up the ground for better forward chains and inside 50's.

    I would really like to see Judd more forward of centre next year because out of the small-medium backs (Riv, Bowey, Salem, Windsor) I think he has the agility and ball use to be a really damaging player with another full preseason under his belt.

    Where did you find this stat?

    Trent Rivers and Judd McVee are not for sale, Riv’s top 10 and Judd’s not far behind and both are key links in the chain for us going forward.

    No one's untradeable but we need key players not draft picks.

    The McVee contract situation has become comical. Unfortunately it's not the MFC's only problem in this area.

    if the quality of this draft is as suspect as the judges make it seem, mcvee is probably a better player after three years of senior footy than any player who becomes pick #11 will be

    Judd is out of contract, he can put himself up for sale and there's nothing we can do about it

    I'm all for draft picks but I want the draft picks to compliment our next push for a flag which Rivers and McVee are a part of.

    Well, we can decline any trade offer and force him to the draft.

    Sure, but then he walks to West Coast for nothing in the PSD. Hardly a win for us.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
