    I fear for Judd if he doesn’t re-sign, as @Ghostwriter will be looking for recompense if she has to payout to @picket fence

    Hey DD, no need to fear for Judd. I’ve never had a surer bet in my life. I’ve just proposed an upping of the ante. Let’s see if Fence is game.

    This week would be a good time to announce he’s re-signed. We could all use mildly positive news after the debacle on Sunday.

    Reading the mood on this site at the moment, it would probably be seen as a negative

    He needs to grow up and take responsibility. Has really good talent but is poorly coached. Takes the easy option far too often. Isn't ruthless for a back pocket like pig was. Kicks backwards to a safe out all the time. Passes on the responsibility of finding an option upfield, which he would probably be good at. Needs to be challenged. I've been waiting for the last 10 weeks for some indication that someone in the coaching department is guiding him but nada. Makes me think they don't care, he doesn't care, he's leaving at years end.

    With McVee's current form would he get into the starting line-up at Fremantle, I don't think so. After McVee's game against Adelaide, the selection committee should've dropped him after his poor performance against Rankine. We have kept playing McVee to ensure his trade value is at the level we expect to receive in return if he decides to leave.

    It has been mentioned many times with players returning back to WA to play for Fremantle hasn't been the best decision in hindsight. Hogan, McCarthy, Lobb, Bennell and you can even mention Troy Longmuir as well. Longmuir was playing some great football in his 2nd year with Melbourne and wanted to go back to Fremantle. From memory Troy Longmuir went to Carlton after he finished his playing career at Fremantle.

    Deal with him was agreed months ago

    We gave him the 4 years he wanted

    Everyone agreed and was happy

    Absolutely no idea why his side hasn't signed and what has happened since

    I can understand if he's re-assessing his options

    that said, he's had a really poor year so he won't be inundated with offers from other clubs

    Or perhaps he's already got a offer from another club,one that'll play him as a running half back and not a lock down defender

    JUDD McVEE (MELBOURNE)

    Jon Ralph says: “His contract will push back to the last round of the season now. The Demons are making it hard for him to sign just in regards to their form and morale and uncertainty over the coach.

    “He’s had that contract in front of him for a full year. It’s not that he’s out the door, but it’s a challenge for them to try and secure him. There’s so many clubs that are interested in him.”

    Yes unfortunately.

    Was thinking he was a Star in the making before this year, now he plays like his heart isn’t in it.

    As if he believes there’s greener pastures elsewhere.

    Hope I’m wrong.

    despite those saying he has regressed and happy to let him go, let us not lose sight of the bigger picture here - a player we offered 4 years to earlier this year who by all accounts got what he wanted (h/t @Dannyz ) is now reportedly waiting to see how the last few rounds and FD changes go?

    That is not good for the club is is bad optics for other players who we are chasing

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
