Very good player would love him at the dogs

 

[fnerd]

No more money left for young Juddy after kozzies supermax contract

Freo will be all over him

 

[HBFlanker]

Fremantle into him massively ive heard.

Interested as to what he would command in a trade, off the rookie list but barely missed a game for two years.

2026 Second round draft pick.

Would be really disappointing to lose him, not signing by now has me worried. Isn't a question of money would mean he simply doesn't want to be there which is a terrible look for the club.

I think hes low profile enough that signing pretty close to trade period wouldn't be out of the ordinary.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Very solid player. The astute type of signing that improves most teams mid range/best 22. Not everyone can be a gun but moves the dial for a few.

I almost think the opposite in coming to the same conclusion (he's probably staying). A 21 year old who's been a guaranteed starter for 3 seasons now. If there was a serious chance he was leaving, you'd think it'd be reported by now. Any reporting around him has pretty consistently said he's probably staying.

 

[Chip Scab1]

I'd offer up a 2026 R1 and 19 for McVee and 23.

He'd be handy in our back 6 alongside Pink.

 

[eastfreo75]

Langdon type trade.

I rate McVee very highly. Would be a similar addition to what the Crows did with Cumming, Neal-Bullen and Peatling. Not going to sell you memberships but will improve the team undoubtedly.

 

[Vindicater]

Perfect age range for West Coast to target if he wants to come home.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Correction.

Any update on his contract status? Still has not signed, has the Pickett money become McVee money.

Yeah, all indications were he was going to sign a 2 year deal. Interesting to see what the hold up is.

Article in Herald sun, saying he won't sign at the moment

DESPERATE DEES WAIT ON JUDD
Melbourne is still searching for the signature of quality defender Judd McVee, who is not yet ready to commit to the club as he searches for clarity over his role in coming years.
McVee battled with a long-term hamstring injury early in the year and has been part of the club’s defensive struggles.
The WA boy is not fielding offers from rival clubs but has had the Demons contract offer in front of him since last year and is yet to re-sign.
He would love to play as a more aggressive defender playing higher up the ground and even on the wing at times to use his kicking skills.
But he remains typecast as a last-line lockdown defender on the dangerous smalls that populate the game.
So while it is not panic stations yet, the Demons will be desperately hoping he makes the decision to commit.
The move of star defensive coach Troy Chaplin to the forward line to make space for SANFL coach Nathan Bassett has not helped what is now a leaky defence or the forward line which is yet to click.
The defence was Melbourne’s strength in its premiership years but now concedes 90 points a game.

Not listening to offers seems weird if he’s not signing either.

Agree and they have the perfect trade capital - Hawks 1st rounder

I find it interesting Melbourne are only offering him a 2 year deal per Twomey. How has he honestly been this year schmuttt

Surely that's McVee's management going "that's how long he'll sign for if he does sign", no? But like Chad, Nas, etc - if they stay it's for 2, if they leave it's for a lot longer.
