Is he a clear upgrade on Noddy and Johnson? Particuarly for what our team needs?

Do people think we keep playing 3 talls and 2 rucks next year?
If Darcy left , McVee could take his spot and then Voss and Jackson ruck.
So whose out of contract atm
Nat Fyfe - I suppose the next month may decide everything if he gets another soft tissue injury he may be done but If Fyfe wants to play on thats no problem for mine with Sonny retired. We can afford to keep Fyfe for 1 x year.
James Aish - Dare say he will be delisted/tapped on the shoulder.
Jeremy Sharp - This is an interesting was a main stay and now fallen out of favour at the worst possible time. Do we keep or delist. I probably keep him but all of sudden his future is in doubt
Liam Reidy - I dont think he stays
Quinton Narkle - Not sure i suspect he will stay on
Oscar McDonald - 1 x Year extension provides good coverage for Moose. Probably wouldnt play both at the same time.
Karl Worner - 2-3 year extension likely i imagine seems like has bought into what JL wants and a mainstay for the time being.
Odin Jones - Gone
Neil Erasmus - Trade likely
Jack Delean - Gone
So from that i have Aish, Jones, Delean gone with Reidy a possibilty.
I think the rest stay on
Erasmus and Sharp are interesting.
Would prefer to keep both as depth but can't guarantee either are best 22 so both may leave.
Losing both would hurt depth badly
if Aish is going, you'd think this week would be a good send off game.So whose out of contract atm

Think you've got to put a watch on Will Brodie as well.So whose out of contract atm

Wagner an oversight or a deliberate omission? Not nitpicking, but might be relevant as he's ahead of Walker or Worner for mine for balance (i.e. more flexible player in a 23 man set up) and maybe clouds the McVee discussion a little bit given potential cost v current depth.I'd have my 23 (sub is all but dead) for next year as it stands being
Ryan Pearce Simpson
Chapman Cox Clark
Johnson Brayshaw Young
Switta Treacy Freddy
Bolton Amiss Voss
Darcy Jackson Serong
Walker Noddy Reid JOM Worner
Banfield extremely unlucky but I suppose looking at that McVee could be close guaranteed best 23. Walker, Worner and Banfield interchangeable in my team with the option to take their spot
Not sure he'll get one tbh. Sure Aish was probably a better player but if hes getting one then someone like Ethan Hughes should've got one based off games played for the club.if Aish is going, you'd think this week would be a good send off game.
Oversight, knew I was missing someone. Makes it harder for McVee to be guaranteed 23.Wagner an oversight or a deliberate omission?

yeah, he should have got one too (but we were struggling to win at the end when we desperately needed to. If we lose to WC this week, we should shut up shop)Not sure he'll get one tbh.

From the sounds of it, that's worse than the inverse. If Lucas Robinson is amazing, the F1 might be needed to generate points. And if he falls, apparently next year's draft is significantly more hyped than this year's. Plus who knows who becomes available next year. Don't wanna dip into future assets.What about future first for McVee and Melbourne's #24?
Then we have #12, #24 and #30 to offer someone 24 (621) and 30 (454) = 1075 points (pick #14) in trade for their academy and father sons prior to the draft?
Using Twomey:
#1 Gold Coast Academy
#2
#3
#4 Gold Coast Academy
#5 Brisbane Academy
#6
#7
#8
#9
#10 Carlton F/S
#11
#12
#13
#14 Sydney Academy
#15
#16
#17 <- This is our current pick #12
#18
#19
#20 Collingwood Academy
#21
#22 Essendon Academy
#23 Gold Coast Academy
Agreed, I like what Aish provided to Freo but he is not “send off” type of player save that for Fyfe in the Brisbane game if he is not making the team by then. Have a feeling, however, that Fyfe won’t have one and will disappear into the sunset at the end of the year.Not sure he'll get one tbh.

I share the disgust others have at trading a 1st, but if the choice is between trading our current and our future 1st, I'm trading this year's.

And while I like McVee I honestly dont think he's guaranteed best 22. Who would you definitively play him over as it stands?

Yeah I suppose my point is two-fold:I wouldn't say he is guaranteed best 22, but the same could be said about Worner, Banfield, Walker, Sharp, Simpson. Even Johnson, NOD, Wagner (though they seem more cemented in the side). The more competition the better.
McVee would sit somewhere amongst the group above. I'm not sure where, and things can also change quickly (e.g. Wagner would have gone from the near the bottom to near the top of that group above).
We also have to consider JOM and Ryan are going to need replacing over the coming years.
McVee has to weigh up if he wants to fight for a spot in a good side, or walk into a crap side (be it Melbourne or WC) and get flogged most weeks.

We’re not a charity. There won’t be farewell games until the season is over. Unfortunately for the likes of Fyfe if they’re not good enough then they keep playing at Peel. Hopefully he dominates at Peel and can force his way in.if Aish is going, you'd think this week would be a good send off game.
