 We have taken Judd McVee

183cm 68kg.

East Fremantle prospect Judd McVee is a smooth-moving defender with clean handling and skills, traits which may bode for more midfield minutes in the future.

(other reports ive read say he is a goal kicker. so no idea bout his position yet)

    MELBOURNE will be giving Judd McVee a shot at the top level, signing him in the NAB AFL Rookie Draft.

    McVee was made to wait for his AFL call-up after missing selection in Thursday night’s National Draft, but there was plenty of interest in the defender due to his class off half-back.

    The 18-year-old is known for providing plenty of rebound from defence and will complement the likes of Christian Salem, Jake Bowey and Trent Rivers at the Dees.

    Standing at 182cm, McVee has clean hands at ground level and impressed many with his composure for East Fremantle in 2021.

    The Western Australian becomes Melbourne’s fourth new addition this week, following the recruitment of Jacob van Rooyen, Blake Howes and Taj Woewodin in the National Draft.

    • Whispering_Jack changed the title to Welcome to Demonland: Judd McVee

    Liking those attributes.
    Rounds out our draftees with some ground balls / clean hands etc which was stated as a weakness during the season and reason they were keen to play Bowey.

    Mid West products Jed Hagan, Judd McVee feature in Swans win against South Australia

    Jed Hagan definitely one to watch, his desire to work himself into the ground with repeat efforts is like nothing I have seen since Ben Cousins.

    Just accumulates and racks up possessions due to pure workrate

    Any thoughts/insight on McVee?

    He sounds like Christian Salem but perhaps without the footy IQ:

    "One of the smoothest operators in the draft pool, Judd McVee is the kind of player you want rebounding the ball out of defence. He handles the ball cleanly and is efficient in his use by foot, showcasing class to manoeuvre out of tight spots and keep cool in a crisis. With greater consistency and enhanced midfield craft, McVee has the tools to become a tidy player at the top level".

    STRENGTHS:

    + Class
    + Clean hands
    + Kicking
    + Rebounding

    IMPROVEMENTS:

    - Production
    - Consistency

    Very happy with this selection.

    Edit:  I just saw the write up at the club which mentions his 'footy smarts'.  Maybe he is more like Salem than I first thought.

    From Jordan McArdle who’s been covering the draft out West:
     
    Geraldton/ product Judd McVee the only West Aussie picked up in the rookie draft. Once rated a top-10 draft prospect when he won WA’s under-16s MVP award, McVee has great foot skills, composure across half-back. Joins Sharks teammates Trent Rivers, Luke Jackson at the Dees.

    Sorry Roger, outside of PSA and state games, my WAFL Colts viewing over the last 18 months wasn’t great.

    Don't worry monoccular. They're all on three year contracts earning hard currency for the state as part of the secretive Bureau 39.

    Welcome aboard Judd looking forward to seeing you in the Red and Blue young man can’t have to many quality backs on the list. You will have the chance to train with the best players and coaches going around.

    Looks like he has long arms for his height, might be useful for spoiling.

    Interesting that he was a quality midfielder in under 16's then kind of relegated to a half back flank role in his draft year.

    Seems to have gears like good players do. Cruises when evaluating his options then can pull the trigger if needed.

    Did he finish school in 2020 like most WA guys do a year earlier than here?

    I just wonder if he's a bit cruisy. Bit of a Travis Johnstone vibe almost. I wonder if the professional and competitive environment of the MFC will fire him up a bit.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
