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!

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
