The Western Australian rookie showed signs of gradual improvement through the year at Casey and his progression after a full preseason at the club will be watched with interest.

 

"The rookie-listed defender is yet to play a senior game, but was a regular in the Casey Demons line-up and played in the VFL premiership win. Signed a new contract in August to retain a spot on the rookie list for next season." - Herald Sun

 

Date of Birth: 8 July 2003

Height: 185cm

    19 games at Casey is a fair effort in his first Rookie year. Hopefully grows a couple more cm’s and puts on 10 kg during the pre- season with a name like Judd and being a great kid would love to see him as a long term player for us.!!

    The position of small lock down defender is there for him and D. Smith should their form warrant it next year.

    Shown little, and hasn’t physically developed.

    He got better as the season went on, so it’s worth another year to see if he can produce more of what they saw in him.

    It’s just hard work to make it as a back flanker with below average speed and not being a huge ball winner. 

    But what he did start to show a bit and why I believe they drafted him was his class. Can always do with more classy users.

    He is rookie and not every pick makes it but because he is a WA boy, he would make the other WA boys feel more at home.

    Just watched the Josh Schache 'Off The Track' interview. I was interested that he singled out Judd McVee very positively. Perhaps Judd's trajectory noticed through 2022 by posters above has continued? Is he a prospect for 2023? (I think others may have canvassed this on the current Salo thread?)

    Thoughts? (other than reflections on who singled him out!😉)

    I think that you will find Judd has developed physically in the off season and is one of the 2021 recruits that has made improvements in his game. According to some track watchers and MFC officials.

    Whoever wrote the article is an [censored]. Should have read "did not have any impact at Casey in his first year".

    Not quite. According to the club, he had his best game in the VFL grand final, which for me says he stands up and performs when the pressure is really on. IMO the club see something in him and I'd expect gradual improvement - I think we've seen this over the preseason. Having said that, there's no way he replaces Salem ahead of Bowey.

    They may be grooming him for a Michael Hibberd replacement he is 185cm and needs some more muscle but I wouldn’t be writing him off, don’t see him as a Salo replacement could be a utility.!!!

    Another 'Off The Track' singling-out of Judd, this time from James Harmes.

    The shimmy around Tommy Mc is a classy move.

    I doubt he's in line to replace Hibbo. He's not a strong contested player. But I'm sure he's at least in the frame to put pressure on Bowey, Riv or Gus.

    A lot of premature speculation early in this thread.

    Preseason threads / posts are usually rife with speculation varying from super optimistic to super pessimistic.

    But as has been said before - would you prefer to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong, or a pessimist who is always right??

    I've always reserved judgement on players until it's obvious, rather than make rash predictions either way.

    But for some reason, a few people like to make an early call, hoping they can get the kudos from being proved right, but often looking like fools when they're proved wrong.

    What gets overlooked with McVee is his toughness.  He's physically not huge, but he has a real crack.  He has genuine class, very good kicking, he's evasive and he has nice speed, which is at odds with an earlier comment in this thread.  There's a lot to like.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
