    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].

    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.

    https://www.afl.com.au/news/1416630/fremantle-dockers-dangle-early-draft-pick-in-bid-to-secure-mature-talent

    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.

    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.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
