Pretty effing bizarre if you ask me. Did they honestly expect it not to get out? Or that clubs would find a way to make it work? Super weird thing to do to your employer who you supposedly respect

Mate he had a horror year and couldn't get the money he was offered last year. He's taken the $ and security and will back himself to get back to that value...and then request

Yeah it was a long time ago - I'd need to scour the net for every interview McVee has ever done. Might have been a pod actually from memory, early on in his career. Said he'd like to return to WA one day. Could have meant post footy and he was very early, but pricked my ears at the time.

McVee already flagged he wants to return to Perth. It was a very early interview before he'd found any success. But I expect it to happen one day once he has adequately increased his worth to be able to make the request

Didn't WCW tell us she spoke to his partner and they were beyond happily settled in Melb?

He's a ball hunting mid imo. Not sure why the FD haven't seen it

Despite all of that...you're missing the point. He elected to bump. How circumstances turned against him after that election are irrelevant. He elected to bump and concussed a player. It's a textbook suspension, everything else is irrelevant

Thanks mate

You're right to raise it, but most are not capable of thinking from anyone's POV other than their own. Especially within an emotionally coloured hypothetical. The true answer is yes - if it was Maynard, they'd be baying for blood.

You all need to focus less on his feet being taken or Moore on the ground and more on his raised elbow. That's all this is

Voila

Correct

Showed more than many others last night. He's been treated poorly by both coaching staff and fans. Should have played the entire 2nd half of the year with our midfield out. He was not the only player to turn it over kicking to Petty, who consistently runs to the wrong places and is continually out of sync with the rest of the team. Being able to take a contested mark does not make you a forward. Everywhere you look this coaching staff has players out of position, square peg round hole stuff. Totally Maddening

Not sure what's happened , but his back half of the season has been very poor - he's looked very low on confidence, disinterested in anything physical and just completely lacking verve and desire. I have zero Intel, but strongly suspect something happened in his personal life that's thrown him for six. Partner, family, dog - reckon something's happened. Hasn't looked himself for 3 months

You said it. Thankyou. The happy clappers can get [censored]. We are consistently bullied by this club and show nothing.

He's been given a bigger midfield shot than Laurie. Undeservedly. If you genuinely think McVee shows promise as a mid, I'm not going to bother arguing with you.

If we can't find some genuine mids, we're bottom 4. Worst midfield in the AFL by a mile right now.

Collingwood played tonight with zero big forward. Repeat....ZERO. Will Hoskin Elliott was their big forward. That's what a coaching staff with balls and ingenuity do. Persisting with Petty to the detriment of his development and the teams development for a total output of 8 goals or something for the year is proof that our stubborn, idiotic coaching staff are going nowhere in the modern game. He should have spent the entire season back, learning from May before he finishes up. Tomlinson basically played for the opposition tonight and Hore not much better. I just can't...seriously. Bailey Laurie is a reasonably high pick who's had 3 years of vfl midfield invested in him. Topped all the running pre season. With our midfield decimated, he doesn't get a shot. Instead we throw our brilliant, 1v1 winning, tall/small skinny damaging half back into a role that anyone who actually understands footy can tell he has no scope for. So McVee gets the benefit of learning midfield on the job, while Laurie does not. Yeah Laurie might not be great....but he really hasn't had a shot. Certainly not the shot that McVee has had the last 3/4 games putting up shameful midfield numbers and showing he has no idea how to operate in congestion or even off balance. The place is run by [censored]. Genuinely. They've no idea.

It's both mate

Looks like a suspension to me. 3-4.

100%. Yet when I said this at the start of the year I was shouted down.

Pathetic spineless team. No heart, very little passion and barely any teamwork. Just about the whole lot of them outside of Turner. Extremely disappointed in Viney. I've been saying since it was first flagged on this site that McVee is not a midfielder. It's very easy to understand why. Honestly some of our coaching department have no more of a clue than the fools on here that have been asking for it. If anyone should be getting trialled through the midfield it should be Woewoedin. It honestly looked like a VFL vs an AFL side the entire night. One team had skill and understands how to kick to advantage, the other did not and goes out of its way to make scoring more difficult. Terrible way to end a terrible year.

Couldn't agree more. Makes me sick as well.

Very nice win, but god knows what was going on with GC. They absolutely torched the footy all day, even in space, and could barely cover the ground. Very odd considering it was their weather. Liked Kolt's 2nd half, and probably the best game I've seen JV7 play. Langdon should never have cut his hair. Obvious to say that Turner has the makings of a very good player - has more X factor than JVR whilst obviously being less reliable. He has an interesting and slightly unusual athletic profile. No Trac up there is very odd considering May is the only other listed player who didn't go...and has a heavily pregnant partner. Even Spargo went up on crutches. What's Trac's excuse? Stinks to high heaven Imo. Prepare yourselves.

Anyone still think McVee is a mid? If you want to nullify his strengths, It's the perfect position for him. They're going to ruin a great slingshot HBF
