McVee is out of contract end of 2025.

Without being shot down, I have it on pretty good authority that he will be asking to return home/play for West Coast after this contract expires.

I would imagine the club will be trying everything they can to retain Judd - given how good he has been in his first two years in the AFL side. FWIW, Woewodin also put feelers out to WA clubs given limited opportunity/setting record for most games as starting sub last year.

I hope that both of these don't eventuate and would like to think the large contingent of young WA talent will stick together.

Not overly fussed on Woey as I am not 💯 convinced on him but Judd is a must keep 

Hopefully he signs on for a few more years, but wouldn’t surprise me if he did choose to go home either.

Would be a lot more disappointed to lose McVee than Woey, but do like both.

Things can change though, so let’s see what happens as the year progresses.

Can't abide McVee leaving - not just because he is my fave  🥰!

Did some checking around.  He loves the club and the coach.  Working on a deal to be announced in the coming month(s).  👏

So relax folks.

McVee should have a 3-4 year deal on offer.  He has the skill and composure to be a very very good player.  Let’s get this locked away early in 2025.  

Cal Twomey said on a recent Gettable podcast that West Coast were coming hard for McVee with big $ being thrown around.

You'd hope he stays loyal seeing as we picked him up in the rookie draft when there wasn't much interest from elsewhere, and the fact he's become good mates with a number of the other young players at the club.

Plus he's from Geraldton, a 4 and a half drive from Perth.

We will get cooked in a trade

Out of contract and no one in the media knows who he is, recipe for disaster

If he has thoughts of going home, he may agree to a 2 year extension.

$$$ always worry me but unless Eagles are being stupid we should be okay.

Prefer a 3 year deal rather than 4 for the usual reasons

Eagles appear to have not been very good at attracting the talent back home unlike Freo

My source is very reliable, so I do hope I'm wrong but i'll be amazed if there is any news in the next few months re staying.

thanks for the inside info

Agree with your sentiments regarding hoping it’s not true!

Can he leave as a FA as he was a rookie?

 

asking for a very concerned MFC supporter

No.  But it is rare for someone out of contract to not be trade on request.

Is that supporter 'Luci' 😉

Yeah I don't get a go home feeling from Judd at all from interviews. Things can obviously change but he seems to like the city, will be alert but not alarmed.

That is my fear:  things change 😢

Melbourne are prepared to offer Judd a deal to 2029 like they did with JVR. They’ll be happy to accomodate another 2 years though if that’s all he wants. 
 

He’s very happy at the club and also has a partner who plays in AFLW side.

The McVee family should move to Melb

I recall mentioning that we are building quite a list of WA’s that would be good for trading.
