PODCAST: Judd McVee Interview

I would be interested to hear the feedback he got from the club at the end of last season, and how/what steps he took that delivered him a senior debut this year.

Also, what does he focus on in preparation for each game?

 Is he a stress merchant, a relaxed prepper or something else as he preps for games?

    Which backline player has taught him the most?

    Where does he think he will end up playing long term? Backline or somewhere else?

    Or would he prefer the judster?

    Or perhaps Justice (as in MCV - Magistrates Court of Victoria)?

    Ask him who’s more intimidating- May or Lever?

    How has their influence and direction helped him on-field?

    Ed: as I believe Salem has been his mentor preseason.

    Any information about being drafted would be interesting.

    Did any other clubs show interest?

    What happened in his draft year to see him slip down to the rookie draft (he was highly touted the year before from memory)?

    Podcast tip. Be nice if it was a conversation rather than just a Q&A (set of questions he nervously answers!)

    What does Judd believe are his biggest strengths and attributes? Which of these does he feel got the attention of MFC?

    Kind of related, how much input does a player just starting out like McVee have in what position he plays and how he is developed?

    Are players asked where they would like to play as an input to the decisions, or does the club say “You will be playing this role” and the player’s preferences aren’t taken into consideration?

    I appreciate that for a young player like McVee the answer to this question may be different to an established star player negotiating a contract extension.

    Love to hear what it has been like each step of the way moving over here. How hard was the move and the adjustment. Was it a hard decision to extend. And does he understand players deciding to fo home. Is there a special bond within the club between the WA boys or does coming from Geraldton make that irrelevant

    How did his path up to, and through, the National Draft play out? I have heard he was touted as a very high pick coming up to his draft year, but didn't grow as expected, and so fell down the order - it there any truth in that?

    What are him and JVR’s favourite surf spots in Victoria? 

    Great question. If he is a surfer, he will be keen to talk about surfing. Which might help him relax if he is nervous (which is likley given his age)

    Another q might be who is the best surfer at the club

    I'd be keen to get his take on who of the young boys at Casey is most likely to take the next big step (as he has now) to AFL football

    Noting Judd's particular style and movent playing with confidence and some flair when he gets on the move with the ball.

    Is there a player he looked to base his game on? Someone that influenced him in the way they played?

    Where did the nickname 'Knuckle' originate?

    I believe Gus Dad gave it to him after he remined him of someone who he played with at North that they called knuckles???

    Are you sure you no longer want to call him McVeigh?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      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?
