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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
