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???

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
