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.

    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?

    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)

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
