I heard that GWS were into him on a similar deal to Stevie J. His brother is there so it just might be possible.
As much as i love the man he has played less than half the games available due to soft tissue could well be worse next year
This year would be the right time
I've been a McVeigh sceptic last year and this year. However, since he's back from injury and stringing games together he has looked really good. I would think he's one of the first picked each week now.
I suspect that if we won the flag this year he would retire - I think he's a bit vain in that way. Some players have a tendency to go on for that 'extra year'. While this is not the team first approach you can understand why they do it - you're a long time retired at age 33.
I don't think we'll win the flag this year (but happy to be proven wrong) so I think McVeigh will go around again next year and target Jude Boltons 325 games. I don't think anyone will ever reach Adams total.
If macca hangs up the boots end of 2017
I suspect that the likely candidates that could take on Macca's link directional role are
Newman
Hewett
Mills
Florent
McVeigh is playing really well but I worry when he has to be accountable or has to chase an opponent.
Let's hope we win the premiership and he can retire on a high.

McVeigh on the wide spaces of the MCG is the big worry
His "pointing game" is much less effective on the MCG.
Maybe they should introduce something like the runner in cricket. Macca gets to dispose of the ball, but if there's any chasing or tackling to do he's allowed to call for the runner - a younger, more athletic, non-premiership player.
I presume also if someone dares to try and plant a kiss on his cheek he can call for the runner then too.
Two way running McVeigh style
McVeigh would make a great first slip.
