I’d value AMW as a far more attacking player than Judd.

Judd is becoming very Salem like with his ball use, it’s safe but not damaging

I haven't seen AMW enough at AFL level to know for sure and he may well end up forward.

You're second point is possibly due more to gameplan than his attributes. I think at his best in a well drilled team he's finding teammates forward of centre. You've also got to remember that our defence as a whole has been way down on its best the last 2 years. That alone will impact Judd without the issues i've mentioned in a previous post. Let's hope King can unlock the puzzle. Goodwin was no slouch as a coach though so it remains to be seen.

I’m of the belief that Judd wants to play a role that doesn’t suit Judd, hence why he’s not played there.

I’ll be very happy if it turns out to be incorrect and he flourishes, further up the field

he wouldn't be alone there tho - rivers wants to be a midfielder but his defensive workrate as a mid is non-existent, hence why he keeps getting shunted to half back

mcvee has the capacity to be one of the elite lockdown defenders in the competition; i know midfielders get to run around a lot more, but the likes of jetta, starcevich etc. are far rarer and just as valuable imo

I think the running back role is perfect for him as he can use his kicking skills going forward.theres not many good kicks in this melbourne side atm so I feel he's wasted as the lock

Oh I hope in this binary world - we get the latter. Or put more succinctly:

That joke works on one level

or on zero levels.

So the coach has been announced, if we don't get an announcement preceding or following King's presser on Monday is it safe to assume he's goneski?

and that joke works on two levels

I swear I read somewhere that Judd told someone that he had re-signed with us.

@Ghostwriter go tell Judd that Ted is getting impatient and either he or the club needs to announce it soon or I’ll unleash my evil alter-ego on them “led tasso”

Pretty sure that's the answer to your equation Ethan.

Completely agree

I swear I read somewhere that that ‘someone’ will end up with MASSIVE egg on their face should the situation play out contrary to what Judd has been telling that ‘someone’ all along. Mind you, not just egg, but MASSIVE egg. Oh and that that ‘someone’ will look stupid as well (which is redundant since MASSIVE egg on one’s face is stupid-looking enough, surely).

“MASSIVE” egg 😂 sweet baby jesus, give me strength 😅😅😅

Judd McVee’s contract and signing surely sits with GM Richardson and List Manager Tim Lamb. Now that we have our new coach, I’d expect this to get sorted out in the next few days.

Do you dream this stuff up ?

Your comments on both Rivers & McVee come from fantasy land.

Jeremy Howe says hi. Left to go to the Pies where he was promised more time taking speccies up forward ... and we know how that turned out.

Soz @juddmcveegoat, love you ‘n’ all but Luci’s got you on this one. She’s been Judd’s #1 fan since the beginning. You’ll have to settle on being his #2 fan.

Mind you, she did dump Jayden for Salo, then dumped Salo for Judd, so stick around, she may just ditch Judd for someone else 😅

If she thinks she’s gonna be Luker’s #1 fan, the gloves are off. Word.

Using Word was so steezy

Like being at a mt Buller rail park in spring

Steezy

Yeah- taking speccies as a back

Me thinks ghosty may have been set up for a fall by Judd Mcvee, feel sorry for her but not for JMc, hope we get something worthwhile for a hb plodder. If freo give us a second rounder, GW might feel better next year. If JMc has done this then maybe it might be good he goes.

That darn dirty rat set me up for a fall? Knuckle, the hb plodder??? That’s a knuckle sandwich comin’ his way. See what I did there 😁

You know, I’m starting to think you’re not a real Viscount 🤨

Why would freo give us a 2nd rounder for a hb plodder.i think freo have plans to turn him into another Jordan Clarke,[censored] that'll hurt.

Once again we are attacking a current player and denigrating him because he might leave.

This is not specifically aimed at you, but rather posters generally.

It’s ok to post you don’t think someone will make it, but do we really need to ridicule our players?
