Mcvee is a keeper and should move into more of a half back role next year to use his skill.

ANW returns and must be marked to play small lock down defender role

McVee will be a weapon if unleashed. As commented before we need him in whatever role we were trying to mould Windsor into in defence.

Bowza & McVee need to control our ball movement from defence.

That was exactly what was suppose to happen,unfortunately didn't and why there was no signing from McVee,I feel that even if he plays there now it might be to late,other clubs are looking for running hb's and McVee is who their looking at

The Jon Ralph grain of salt applies here:

“Judd McVee has to be kept, he doesn’t want to leave Victoria. His partner is an AFLW player and also plays for Melbourne. There’s Victorian clubs swirling, but they just need to keep him.”

Get over Judd, earmarked for a role and things change, he’s not bigger than the club, AMW went down with a season ending knee injury and there’s no one left to play a small lockdown role because we’re light in that area, so what are we supposed to do? Just let small forwards run rampant because Judd’s cracked the sads and doesn’t want to play that role? Mcvee wouldn’t even have a career if it weren’t for us, just sign a two year deal and get on with it, things can be different next season.

He’s way too slow (in AFL terms)

Great call, would love to see Salem chasing after Izak Rankine or Tom Papley all day could definitely keep up 👏

 

If he doesnt sign with us, he can enter the draft and be picked up by WC. Or we can trade him and get value. The other option is that he stays,

Interesting..

I think this was one of the major issues in moving Simon on.

Opportunities for the next wave of talent and they weren't going to happen under Simon.

Smart management that takes care of Juddy.

So we’re going to get 30 cents on the dollar for Oliver while paying half his wage and we are going to hoist ourselves on the McVee petard and lose him for nothing?

Great way to get back to our 2008-2013 list…

34 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

i see nothing to indicate that he can excel thru the midfield as he has excelled as a small defender, at least prior to 2025

So you don't see calm under pressure or pretty good decisions with hand and foot,really,and please don't judge him with 2 games in there with no training..it took Petracca,Viney and Oliver more than 2 games to be great

i dont think Judd is holding off for any other reason apart from getting back into some form from being injured and pushing for some more $$.

hes not going anywhere, and probably wanted to see where he sits in terms of playing position next year

This situation reminds me of the Cat's stuffing around Jordan Clark before he moved to Freo and exploded

What's Melb doing to stuff McVee around ?

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

Turns out part of the deal was some time up the ground

Goody believed he didn’t perform their in training and reneged

Probably not salvageable at this point with both WA clubs lurking but I’d say the biggest priority for the new coach

way to miss the point @doomsday dee

he's potentially an elite small defender; they are more rare than mids

I think the Eagles might be into him for a 4 year deal. Not sure we will match their $$$s. Would be really disappointed to see him go after we took the punt on him and gave him the chance, and developed him. Obviously we would like to see him as part of our future.

Think Judd has a higher opinion of himself than is warranted, couldn’t care less if he leaves, good luck getting minutes as a mid at Freo 😂

You do know he doesn't want mid time

Track watchers reporting (again) that McVee isn't going anywhere.

As you say the grain of salt will be applied but if it's not home calling him then I'm confident we'll retain him. He's quality, his partner plays for our VFLW team. We plucked him from relative obscurity so I would hope a little bit of a nod at the faith we've shown in him would go a little way.

 

Yes, quite an interesting take by the marketing department - especially as our opposition call the kennel home. Slightly mixed imagery?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
