Would struggle to snaffle a six-pack of Swan Lager for JVR right now.

don’t get me wrong judd is great and i’d love for him to stay but business is business and we need a key forward asap he is more then capable of doing that until max pulls the pin. JT will find another judd or two in the coming years so i wouldn’t be too worried also this frees a spot down back we really need to start getting games into the likes of sestan adams amw kento to see if they are

LJ coming back to Melbourne,what to be 2nd ruck,no chance.Gawn won't let that happen either

Relax y’all… Judd’s committed to the Dees. Expect an announcement early next week now that the talking is done and all that remains is the dotting and crossing.


That will be an excellent result Ghostwriter, he is in our must keep group going forward.😁👍

Has just put all contract negotiations on hold, a West Australian who wants to play as an attacking half back instead of a lockdown back pocket

Another unhappy Demon

Maybe we need a new coach in 2026???

 

Future 1st plus McVee for Jackson

Yes Please

he has regressed this year. injury and lack of preseason a big factor though.

It would be great if our players re-committed without fuss but that doesn't seem to the case for us

If he's uncommitted the club might have to make a hard call. We've handed out contracts recently and fair to say we have not received value. I don't want to overpay or provide a long term contract to someone who has had a poor season.

You are not doing a Tom Morris are you? Please, what’s your source on this? Until then, im backing @Ghostwriter’s version thanks.

Edit - sorry, just seen the Fox report on this.

It is one thing if McVee is unhappy with his contract offer, it is entirely another if he is unhappy with his role in the team.

If Goodwin's obsession with playing Salem ends up costing us McVee, that should be the final nail in his coffin.

Gone

No inside knowlege other than clearly not enjoying his role in the team. Likely two WA clubs know that , have had initial talks about where he would play and a rough dollar amount.

Furthermore , doesn’t even have the excuse of wanting to concentrate on his game and winning finals.

Based on who, Tom Morris….!!! bS.

The problem with persisting with our current coaching and football department personnel (not anyone specifically - just generally), is we’ll see an exodus of quality I think.

Just a general statement and not saying McVee is gone.

A wholesale makeover needed I reckon

Perfect day / week to announce he has resigned if he actually has.

I know we need changes to our list but for me Judd is one of our must keep. If I was West Coast I would be doing everything possible to get him.

I dont disagree that we need a shake up in the football department, but Judd is our only best 22 player OOC. The majority of our young talent is contracted.

Of all the potential options on our list to trade out to try to get something back, we’d be insane to release a young player who’s a good kick, can lock down on small forwards, has some pace, and who prior to his injury this summer was dominant for two years.

He is the sort of player we need to be bringing into the club, not letting go.


Hypothetical

You're a player in a 'foreign' state playing in a team whose prospects aren't looking too flash. You're asked to play a role you don't particularly find uber satisfying .

You're wind of interest from 'home'.

You decide after talking with your manager to halt current proceedings til season's end .

All hypothetical of course

I'm worried that the West Coast Eagles will request Judd McVee to walk to the Pre-season draft and we won't receive any compensation in return for McVee leaving.

However the PSD doesn't get used by the player and manager unless they feel their client has been screwed over or the asking price is too much.

That is not actually true, who have we actually lost? Any player who has come out of contract has signed.

Salem should have been dropped numerous times Has lost what ever he had in my view Rigidity is in Goodwins DNA as well as favoritism This coach is now killing players

If that were to happen, guaranteed it would happen to us and then the AFL would change the rules the year after.

  • 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.
