 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.

    He didn't get near anybody either. 1 missed tackle in the highlights.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
