Delighted with his assured growth this year. This contract extension is rightful recognition of a ripper in the making.

Congratulations Judd. Very well deserved contract extension. 

Keep up the good form and your pace and skill will be apart of our defence for many years to come. All the very best.

Hopefully, his trajectory continues like the Sparrows and Jordans.

Love that Salem took him under his wing. Certainly shows similar composure, competitiveness and ball use.

The depth we now have across the whole team in each position is incredible.

So close!

Kozzy is from WA but lived in SA during high school etc, if I remember correctly 

Could be right;  all 3 clubs prior to MFC are SA

But seriously, how good is JT

Old mate Tim Lamb goes alright too.

JT and TL must have been watching this kid for some time Judd McVee plays with such awareness, skill and confidence that he continually surprises you when watching the game he plays like a top 10 pick.!!


Outstanding work Judd.  Hard work and commitment already paying off, and this is just the start!
Outstanding rookie selection!  
Outstanding Club culture to keep him in red & blue!
We just keep raising the bar higher!

Thought he had numerous opportunities to show his class (and he is classy rather than agricultural) last night. Some really fantastic work, and very composed in traffic.

Did not see this young man coming at all!  It’s an incredible transformation over the course of a year at the club.  A lock down back pocket who is assured, polished and classy with ball in hand.  He frees up Bowey and Rivers to be more attacking.

We may have found an absolute gem.

Judd has been a revelation and is getting better.

We have a 10 year player here.

love him. who goes out for Salem? a lovely problem to have!

I am sure he will be managed at a point but McVee’s current form has him in all year. In current form when Salem returns I suggest Brayshaw and Rivers play more midfield time and Sparrow may be in the gun. Otherwise I can see us rotating the management of Old Man Hibberd with the younger half backs (McVee, Bowey, Rivers) to keep them fresh. 

Unsure where he played his junior footy but I can see McVee moving into our midfield in the coming years. 

Slotted in beautifully.

Watched him quite a bit at Casey on the box & 3 to 4 games live.  Showed signs and also had the occasional class / silk moments in game but didn't stand out (for me) as being THIS capable / ready to go in a four quarter / weekly sense up with the big boys.

Goes to show you just don't truly know with some players unless you give them the opportunity.  No doubt professional scouts/more learned observers who were watching saw extra aspects that i probably missed during his Casey time and hence the call up/opportunity was given.

Still, just feel like i'm watching a 21yo 70 to 80 game player who's been in the system for about 3 years or so.

Bowey was a similar story but imv showed a bit more over four quarters and over a slightly longer period (?) at Casey before he got his chance.

19, only 9 games and wringing wet.  The upside here is titillating!

  • 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.

    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?
