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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
