Luke Jackson the day after draft night with his new mfc jumper on having a break from talking to media at docklands said to me he has been to melb with sports rep sides many times and loved it and he knew he would likely leave WA anyway and was very happy 

Unlike Judd, Luke had no ties in Melbourne.  Judd's girlfriend is not only living in Melbourne, but also plays at the same club.  Plus, what would the incentive be for her to go to WA, when she's not from there?

    Not a fan of seeing him in the midfield.  Don't mind they gave it a crack late in the year with nothing to lose to see how he'd go, but he's far more valuable as an asset down back. 

    Agreed. They gave him some minutes in the midfield against Collingwood and he couldn’t crack double figures in possessions.

    He doesn’t scream inside midfielder to me and should remain as our premier small defender who takes the oppo’s most dangerous small forward.

    Nick Daicos was similar when they moved him into the midfield he wasn’t as damaging initially. Think they ended up moving him back to HB

    Semantics.

    Call it what you will. We all got the tone and it was unpleasant and unnecessary.

    edit: Judd told me he’s feeling great for a Monday morning. Can’t believe a bloody word that kid says 😉

    Nothing to do with Judd as an individual, but in the light of tight AFL salary caps this news shows how small our competition is, compared with the crazy financial world of sport in the United States.

    Juan Soto is staying in New York, but he won't be with the Yankees.

    Instead, the New York Mets, long believed to be a frontrunner to land the 26-year-old superstar, have landed him on an MLB-record $765 million contract over 15 years, according to multiple reports. 

    That astronomical number gives Soto the largest contract in professional sports history.

    Absolute gun baseballer is Juan Soto.

    100% agree. Not all good players have to go into the midfield.

    Wait till Kane Cornes hears about this... he will self-combust.

    Hope Judd does stay. Probably our best user of the footy. Doesn’t get the credit he deserves outside of our club which means I think we would get unders for him. 
    I’m not as across players wages but given he was on the rookie list I’m assuming he wasn’t in massive coin. It’s time for his agent to earn his coin and get Judd a good deal- if he gets offers on the table from the WA clubs it pushing up what we will have to pay to keep him.

    And we are lovers of the " general vibe" here on DL.

    And ironically some of those who aren't are often the very same people who banged on about the club being in crisis because 'where's there's smoke there's fire' - you know, the general vibe.

    Surely we are talking only about Nick Daicos levels not the ordinary AFL ones which Juddy is a little above but not that much.

    I’m obviously not saying Judd is on a similar level to Daicos…. I was comparing players going from half back to the midfield

    @58er Any reason for the vomit emoji?

    Of the many and varied things that attract one to, hold them to, or drive them from a place, the girl/boyfriend one has at age 21 is one of the less reliable, I would suggest?

    I don’t like the whole we have to find him a Victorian girlfriend thing but Judd’s girlfriend is a Dees player. She’s a Vic gal.

     I ran into Kolt at the AFLW Hawks vs Port final (he was wearing a Hawks scarf but we’ll let that slide since his girlfriend plays for Hawthorn) and I mentioned that Judd is “dating” Lily (Johnson). Kolt was quick to say they’re not just dating, they’ve been together for a while and it’s serious.

    So there’s that. 

    As if he would say that?? It seems unusual to say the least.

    I believe what Judd McVee says on face value, he has no reason to lie, he is a Member of the Dees “Mouse Pack”. He’s a future “team first” leader and will be remunerated in line with his standing, experience and future potential. Judd isn’t a runner, he’s a potential 200-250 game star for the MFC. Also he doesn’t play baseball??? We seem to be casting around for reasons why he would leave rather than focusing on the reasons why he will stay. Grrrrrr…!!

    WoK just because you think something doesn’t mean that you have to say it, casting aspersions about conversations that you didn’t witness is just plain hurtful and unnecessary.

    Does it?! I guess it’s second hand info and you always have to allow for the Chinese whispers but if part of the conversation went along the lines of “Hey Kolt I see your the latest of our young players to start dating one of the AFLW players, isn’t Judd dating Lilly Johnson?!”

    Kolt- “ oh they have been dating a long while now, seems serious.”

    Hardly that unusual a comment I wouldn’t have thought

    Always a danger taking anyone from wa particularly with wc down the bottom they can afford to make offers we can’t hope to match, the only upside is we will get some good compensation back if it comes to pass. I’d hope he stays as he could be anything and I hate to see that happen somewhere else, reminds me of what happened with Scott Thompson back in the day.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
