 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
