I posted on here that Rivers is one of the players wanting to go home for personal reasons and was ridiculed. This year did nothing to curb that refusing to give him midfield time.

New coach has a big job on his hands because this guy is a future captain

I think we only trade RivDog is if Dogga is coming back the other way. If not then I would be [censored].

What are we saying? Rivers best half dozen and dogga the same?

Trent’s main issue, the one the football department are always onto him about, is his defensive work rate.

Of everybody who played an AFL game this season, nobody has a higher missed tackle % than him. He’s around 45%, which is comfortably clear of the next worst player in the competition. The best two way mids are generally between 25-30%.

That’s incredibly damning for a bloke who started off as a defender. Because of this he’s not getting the midfield time he wants, and the footy department are absolutely correct to demand his pressure and defensive intent improves before he’s a regular in there.

 

Freo are dangling pick 11 out there.

I wonder if we could get pick 11 for McVee and obviously we give them a material draft pick their way (say in the 20's)

Disappointing if he leaves. I just took for granted that he'd be a 200 gamer for us.

Given what our track watchers have said, it's a confusing situation (not doubting the intel)

Pick 11 in a weak draft which is heavily compromised, not sure I like that.

IF he was to be traded, what would a fair trade for us be?

I doubt Freo would entertain trading pick 11 for Judd unless there were quite a few pick swaps involved or even players.

We must keep this guy. For a team that is FINALLY building up some good ball users (slowly) its so important we don't let one go.

Keeping Judd means we can continue trialling our best backline ball users further up the ground for better forward chains and inside 50's.

I would really like to see Judd more forward of centre next year because out of the small-medium backs (Riv, Bowey, Salem, Windsor) I think he has the agility and ball use to be a really damaging player with another full preseason under his belt.

Where did you find this stat?


Trent Rivers and Judd McVee are not for sale, Riv’s top 10 and Judd’s not far behind and both are key links in the chain for us going forward.

No one's untradeable but we need key players not draft picks.

The McVee contract situation has become comical. Unfortunately it's not the MFC's only problem in this area.

if the quality of this draft is as suspect as the judges make it seem, mcvee is probably a better player after three years of senior footy than any player who becomes pick #11 will be

Judd is out of contract, he can put himself up for sale and there's nothing we can do about it

I'm all for draft picks but I want the draft picks to compliment our next push for a flag which Rivers and McVee are a part of.

Well, we can decline any trade offer and force him to the draft.

Sure, but then he walks to West Coast for nothing in the PSD. Hardly a win for us.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

    Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

    For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
