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???

    • 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.

    • 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.
