Don’t think a hamstring injury will make a difference to his decision.

He may well seek a trade, but hopefully he decides to stay for at least a couple more years.

I would be amazed if the two WA clubs weren’t all over him

Despite what ZH thinks, I imagine the other 17 clubs - plus our own - would rank him in the best small defenders in the competition

    I don't disagree, but it means he isn't training - and certainly missing the first part of the season.

    I'm simply relaying what info I'm getting.

    It would surely be West Coast that goes after him hardest. Could offer a long deal that is heavily front-ended while their young list develops.

    We should be able to match it, it's just whether he just wants to go home. Can't stop that.

    If he does, put him in the trade for Harley Reid 😁

    Why are we worrying about something that may never happen, Judd should be available by round 5-6 with any luck to help  with our rise back up the ladder and hopefully we make him an offer that he cannot refuse.😎👍

    This is true. I can hardly post an entire 20-minute conversation verbatim, but I wanna share the general vibe which in this case was great. This kind of response is exactly what happened when I had a very similar conversation with Kozzie’s partner, and that situation’s turned out fine.

    I’m sure Judd will get the reminder all 17 other clubs overlooked him until we took the shot at pick 18 in the 2021’ rookie draft. Much like Lawson Humphries at Geelong, Judd was in West Coasts backyard and they overlooked him. 

    Even Nic Martin trained with West Coast and they said no thanks. 
     

    There was enough conversations between him, his management and the club last year that I would still expect something to be done. 
     

    There was a 2 year deal on the table as well as a 4 year deal (like JVR’s) to take him to free agency (end of 2029). Melbourne are always open to different options to keep players like him (interstate young guys) comfortable.

    DEE TIPPED TO STAY

    MELBOURNE defender Judd McVee is waiting until returning from injury before getting into his contract talks, but is expected to remain at the Demons.

    The rookie success story is another three weeks away from returning from his pre-season hamstring and is expected to pick up contract talks early in the season once he is back playing. 

    The East Fremantle product is out of contract but is settled at Melbourne and expected to stay at the club, likely on a shorter-term deal such as a two-year extension.

    McVee, 21, has become a pivotal member of the Demons' defence, playing 48 games over the past two seasons since making his debut at the start of 2023. 

    West Coast and Fremantle are heavily in the trade and free agency market this year, with the likes of Chad Warner, Brandon Starcevich, Darcy Cameron and Kysaiah Pickett all weighing WA interest. However, McVee is not considered likely to be in that bracket. – Callum Twomey

    Great news, don’t think he is anywhere near his full potential yet so unlikely any trade would have gotten fair value. Probably lucky wc and freo both look rubbish so why go back to that

    Sign him up to a 4- 5 year deal 

    No chance

    Small deal now, back himself to become a mid, then a big contract awaits

    Star defender; moving into midfield the big query

    We will get cooked in a trade

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

    That most probably means that Juddy will be the  next monkey on the media grinder's squeezebox.

    Nah makes sense. Players like to get deals that take them to FA at this point of their careers.

    Had word this was completed for a two year contract extension around October of last year.

    I wonder what changed it's course. Hopefully it's official soon. Judd is brilliant and it's great to see him happy at the club and in Melbourne.

    Our stocks of small-medium defenders are at critically low levels. It is absolutely essential that we lock McVee away as soon as possible, ideally on a long term deal.

    We are not going to be winning finals with any combination of Bowey, Howes and AMW in these roles, as was shown clearly on Sunday with Bowey and Howes being destroyed by Greene and Coniglio.

    So true ET get him signed up the rest will take care of itself, he has had a huge 2 years and will only keep on improving. When you add in Salem, Bowey, Lindsay, Windsor, McVee, Rivers, Langdon, Billings and hopefully AMW we have our sml / medium backs and wings covered.👍😁

    Didn’t know what it meant in February; still don’t know today. I’m sure I’ll never know.

    Unrelated (but possibly related): great news about Judd 🥳

    The combination of McVee, Windsor and Lindsay gives us 3 players who can bust the lines and use the ball well which is essential for footy de jour. Looking forward to seeing how we maximise this new strength in combo with our old strengths to win the ball and move it faaaaaaast. Heck, we may even give our forwards one on one chances inside our forward 50!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
