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?

    • 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?
