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

Exactly,Salem's player goes back,McVee's player runs up the ground so Salem switches.easy to have 30+ and not man up

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'd trust Ghosty before Caro she always wrong. She is just another jornalist parrasite

 

I wouldn't be fooled by his reduced output this year. Has had a delayed start at a confused club.

He has the combination of grit and silk which we sorely need.

The kid is quality and I would be shattered to see him walk.

Regardless of any talk on here from GW or journo’s, I’m concerned. The facts are the club is very quiet with any positive news of a signing. The clubs used contract signings last year as a tool for harbour hope and direction. The silence here is deafening.

Im only taking one aspect seriously.

He HASN'T signed.

No reason not to.... ( that we know of )

Why ?

Doesn’t matter whose scuttlebutt is aired... the fact remains he's unsigned.

Strikes me as odd and a concern.... irrespective of anyone's assurances

My concern here is in a year when our young talent and commitment is more important as it is clear our premier window is closed, the club is not making any announcements. Particularly after the win this weekend.

I’m hopeful it’s announced in the next two days on slower news days. Without an announcement this weekend, it’s more likely he has not signed and he is open to moving elsewhere.

Last year’s announcements were on the back of we can bounce back as contenders.

This , i believe , is in Judd's court. He's holding out. Club can't announce what it hasn't got.

Why is he baulking ??

Money? If he can get an extra $100k+ per year elsewhere on a longer contract, why not hold out?

He's seen plenty of others at the club get nice, big fat contracts so why not get in for his chop

Should we now be expecting a signing in light of the Goodwin news? Telling, if so.

This might not be the case. But something was/is causing him to baulk. It had crossed my mind is he waiting to seasons end, or thereabouts, to see the lay of the land. Could be more than just the coaching. 🤷‍♂️ might be nothing to do with coaching 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Intriguing though for sure.

But Ghost also said Goodwin was here to stay, so hard to know what will eventuate.

Funny thing the Media, they love to talk about our deemise, and no info about Mc Vee going so they decided to fill the vacuum. And fill it they have.

Interesting..

This caught my eye too

Hard to tell if this is just Ralphy connecting the dots but would be poor man management by Goodwin to have flagged this with him at the start of the season and then never delivered (ditto for Rivers in the midfield)

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.

 

Wouldn't mind seeing McVee on the wing at center bounce. Not quite physical enough to be a starter mid, but great runner, great skills and can involved at stoppage still.

Unless the new coach is six time All-Australian half back flanker Corey Enright.

  • 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.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    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.
