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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
