Um what does Production mean? can't get the ball?

I assume so.  But defenders usually don't get a lot of it. 

Understanding of our game plan and positioning should help in that regard.

Just hope he's not a skater.

How does Jed Hagen get into the review.??

Clever recruiting WA boys in covid times. Plenty of games and form to review

 

Watching his highlights i can't help but think he reminds me a lot of Corey Enright. He's not a line breaking half back like Hunt or Rivers, but when he has the footy he has so much composure and time that time just slows down around him.

Doing a bit more research on him i came across this article that states he started playing senior football at just 15 years of age and even kicked 4 goals on his debut. Seems like he had a pretty impressive under 16's year which resulted in being selected for All Australian.

Maybe looking ahead to the 2042 season and father / son selections.

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.

If a Rookie pick has the qualities of Travis Johnstone I'll be pretty  happy.

Is it just me or does it seem like Taylor and co end up picking up players who have good U16 seasons? It pinged in my mind reading about McVee that I feel like I’ve read this before when it comes to Dees draftees in the last 3-4 seasons. Might be coincidence I’m sure.

Not just that, plenty of development and momentum missed by the boys in VIC.

And less recent exposed form to make harsher judgments on. Plenty of kids get downgraded because repeated viewings expose flaws in their games. The VIC kids have the luxury of potentially hiding flaws that could see them slide.

Interesting opening this thread and seeing his draft weight was just 68kg and his current listed weight is still only 70kg for his 185cm.

Watching him play in the practice games and on saturday he looked like just a naturally lean body rather than the skinny implied by those numbers. Wouldn't think he was 15-20kg lighter than, say, Salem and Hibberd at the same height.

Giving this to the Demonland trackwatchers as a mission - what is McVee's current playing weight compared to his pre-preseason weight?

there's the lockdown defender we've been after

Nice call.

Judd has a nice ring to it, here come the Judd.!!!

Round 1 was the first time i had seen him play. Outstanding debut considering what was at stake. 
Just like Jake Bowey and Harrison Petty on debut, played with absolute skill. Attacked the ball with sure hands and was not overawed by his surrounds at all. 
May he have a long successful career at Senior Level

? Petty's debut is widely regarded as one of the worst ever.

Not when he took over from Tomlinson. That was when I first laid eyes on him

Fair enough and don't want to distract from the point on Judd. Was indeed a good debut. Interested to see his lockdown capabilities. I can see him getting Charlie Cameron this week which is equal parts exciting and terrifying

Bring it on. Hopefully he relishes the opportunity, and does really well. He will have experience around him.

 

He is surprisingly quick and has very measured disposal, even after a sprint. Will be great to have off HB going forward.

Love this. Be brave with coaching and let young guys have a steep learning curve to get ready for finals intensity. If he does alright then that's a win, if he doesn't, well theres not any defender in the comp that can stop Cameron (except Hibbo) from kicking 5 goals when he's on.

Agree 100% re Bowey, but many here wrote Harry off forever after a “less than stellar” debut which I think was a couple of years before his great comeback games when Tommo went down.

Yep, Petty had a Barry Crocker on debut...

Come on BoBo he has played 177 games and kicked 5 or more 7 times 

Yep he is very dangerous and a quality small forward but this might be a slight overreach (less than 4% of games)

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
