Hey @Ghostwriter do you reckon the hold up with Judd is related to whether his partner is offered a new deal with our AFLW team?

Definitely would factor into it, along with other things. On Tuesday he said he can’t tell me the reasons the announcement has yet to be made, but he confirmed what he’s been saying all along. He’s not leaving the Dees.

Lily is also happy at the Dees and I can’t see why they wouldn’t offer her another contract.

    I’ve checked in on this one multiple times and have been told that Judd is happy with the terms offered and has signalled to the club that he’s going to sign. Unsure why this hasn’t happened yet, there must be something else at play. The deal he’s offered repesents good market value for a player of his type. He likes the coach, happy in Melbourne. It’s all a bit strange and perhaps we will come to find out what the delay is or was in the next couple of weeks.

    Just a thought but maybe we have to free up the $$$’s at end of season.👍😁

    The coach may not be there?

    According to Caro in her article this morning, McVee “looks likely to depart”.

    This is one of the strangest situations I can recall. Every indication is that he wants out except for the complete opposite indication coming from@Ghostwriter and @Dannyz .

    I wonder if it is coach based?

    There’s got to be a lot of uncertainty behind the scenes at the minute, not exactly the time to be announcing signings

    someone somewhere is telling porkies (not GW or Danny z whom i trust infinitely more than the AFL media)

    Yet actions speak louder than words.

    It's McVee ( and/or management) that's not budging.

    Had something amenable to sign all season...but hasn't 🤔🤔🤔

    Club's a clusterthuck of harmony and success... what's not to like ??

    Waiting for the dust to settle and scene become clear imho.

    Dont blame him.

    Just wondering what has changed to make him sign on,no position change,poorly coached and where all putting the boots in on a kid who's first 2 years have been very good and is this year coming off a big hammi tear and the pressures of a new contract with a team that is pretty ordinary

    Disappointing that he’s departing according to Caro.

    Let’s hope Howes and/or AMW can be an adequate replacement.

    you lost me at “according to Caro” . I stopped listening to her after the tanking fiasco … as she has her own agendas. A lot of “in the know” posters here say he’s staying. Let’s see.

    my concern is that a lot of itk people are saying he's had a contract presented to him

    some are saying he's yet to sign it, which is the concern

    My feeling is that the clubs been in a long " after shock" of Brayshaw, Oliver and then Petracca which has manifested itself in losing in unimaginable ways since 2023. My instinct without knowing anything at all is that the loss to Stkilda was the clear out we needed and the response against the West coast confirmed it for me. I think perhaps he wanted to feel that...and he will sign on now. I also feel that we will be in the next 3 games up to our eye balls and prove a lOT of people wrong about many things..we will kick straight and this team will be re finding its mojo.

    Probably sent the signed contract to Paul Guerra who will forward it on to Tim Lamb in September

    He was the scapegoat yesterday for an unaccountable Salem, who was running around doing a lot of pointing

    and getting 30 disposals, the most of anyone.

    Maybe Judd has done a 'Bont' and has refused to sign until the club recontracts some other players. Unlikely ...

    Salem was brilliant yesterday and watching the replay again today I thought Judd had his best game and played with a bit of surety yesterday. Actually Disco, Howes, Bowey, McVee and Rivers all jelled really well with TMac and Salo tidying up around them. I thought this group are growing before our eyes, hope TMac goes around again.

    • 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.

      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.
