I need to re watch the game but was it Jack Higgins who McVee took a strong one on one contested mark against?

It was very impressive.

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.

As the rehabilitating Whispering Jack reminded me, Judd was All Australian Under 16, so he is no dud.

Maybe had an underwhelming NAB year, but he was very good on Friday and looked right at home.

With Salem out, a spot may have opened for him. He can play.

Is he another JT success about to arrive?

Was pretty impressed from what I saw.

Hits his targets, I think he'll be pushing for that spot.

Yes agree.  He looks like a natural half back and had good composure for a youngster.  Looks like he can develop again at Casey but wouldn’t be out of place if he got called up.  


Based on my earlier - albeit somewhat circumspect and tentative! - posts, I now feel borderline entitled to attach the 'my boy...' label to Judd. I've always wanted to be a footy seer 😄

I saw a fair bit of him at Casey last year & thought he was pretty ordinary. His form last week was a revelation and I hope that he continues to prove me wrong.

I like the current highlights and he has grown from 182cm to 185cm but he looks taller and stronger.

His disposal was elite in the highlights.

I think last year his form was solid but not flashy now he has confidence in his ability to take the game on which makes his game better.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
