Only once they moved on,Bedford was a sub for half his games ar the Dee's

Bedford has a combo of elite endurance and speed not being, fact that he was not picked or playing as sub was an early sign that Goody did not understand the way the game had changed.

Awesome to have Goldy back in the side!

But the poster’s comment “concerning” had nothing to do with the W team selections and everything to do with Lily Johnson being dropped which is “concerning” purely because she’s Judd’s partner. 🙄

you mentioned he told you hes signing and going nowhere? that still the case?

curious on others' thoughts on what role pisano will play as she develops?

I think it's the role she's playing at the moment. Just not sure she has the speed or polish to make a difference at the moment. One thing I think Melbourne does pretty well in the women's programme is develop players and help them improve. I hope they can do this with Pisano.

terrible game tonight.

can't help thinking holding off on signing hasn't helped his form

if i was in charge i would be reconsidering 4 year term after that season. he's had a poor 25 injuries notwithstanding

Agreed. I’d take the 4 year offer off the table and give him a standard 2 year deal. He has shown very little progress in his development this year and does not deserve a 4 year extension. he’s a HBF (a dime a dozen) whose defending has gone backwards along with his disposal and decision making.

If this club is serious in its ambitions to turn around our fortunes, we’ve got to get serious in contract negotiations as well.

Lost all his composure, how many times did he just kick it off the ground aimlessly tonight ? Players get injured, his hammy was MONTHS ago, no excuse, 2 years or off you go

I actually didn't mind his game tonight. There were some costly turnovers, but I thought he really bought into the club's approach this week of playing fast at all costs, taking risks, and playing through the centre of the ground. 5 clearances tonight (including 4 from stoppages) indicated that Chaplin gave him a higher role than usual, and I thought there was something to work with.

For one id be blaming the back line coach for his decline and then the midfield coach as well,the lack of pressure from the mids is more of a concern

Watched his game closely. Not sure what the hype is about Juddy. If he stays then great. But we shouldn't be doing stupid 4 or 5 year contracts for this guy. We have too many on our list that disappear after signing a big contract. 2 or 3 year or we get West Coasts 2nd round pick and shake hands.

Soʻ you obviously havent seen the last 2 years when the mfc put him on the most dangerous small forwards,If McVee moves on im afraid well get to see a better version of him and it may come back to bite us.every kid has a second year blues,maybe its the 3rd for McVee

I look at it differently. Yes he can lock down a small forward, but he doesnot do enough going the other way.

We'll all see it when he's training and given the role,unfortunately it'll be another club

McVee is a very good player, defensive and attacking. Hopefully we can retain him. People lament losing Jordon and Bedford, McVee is a better player than either of them.

Yep agree

We always seem to overestimate our list

The club should be calling the shots on his contract, not a 20 game player who has stagnated

He has upside yes but we haven’t really seen him play a blinder or anything close to one just yet. So for me it’s a 2-3 year on no more than 500K.

65 games. Just turned 22yo. Injury cruelled the first half of 2025. Now ready to have a big preseason. Given our team list, I’d back him in and give the 4 year deal for the circa $600k/season.

Sorry stand corrected, l didn’t realise it was 65, must be only 20 memorable games 😉

Not a supporter, a 43 year member

He is a Rookie list pick up in his 3rd season

Things always seem worse when the team is playing poorly, and when you're winning there are stars everywhere.

If we are stubborn and only offer 2 years, we will lose him and then watch the same posters whinge on here asking why did we let him go when he playing finals with Freo.

Over his 3 years he has shown plenty of upside with his lockdown roles and driving us fwd

Offer a reasonable mid term deal and hope he signs on.
