Judd McVee named 4th on Zero Hanger's Rookie of the Year

McVee has a brilliant year to many he came out of nowhere to play every game. He is being recognised outside the club as his 4th indicates. Another example of our excellent recruiting when you consider he was a real "rookie" not selected in the main draft like the eventual winner Sheezel from North or runner up like Ashcroft.

    Good to see him being recognised. He as a first year player has played on some of the leagues most dangerous small forwards and held his own or beaten them, uses the ball and is calm under the most pressure. 
    The others have had good years and they are good players but Judd is a freakin gem!

    He has been amazing, and I know he's not a mid but damn I reckon he'd be a dark horse in the rising star race (probably won't get it but definitely would be deserving).  

    Absolute gun, played every game and been excellent!

    Good on him, we hear about all the young kids at other clubs and how good they are, but the commentators never praise our boys. 

    I'm sick of the praise heaped on Hawthorn youngsters, it's harder to break into a top club and hold your position than it is to get a game in a [censored] club like Hawthorn.

    He's had a very solid year McVee, glad he's getting some recognition. Has fitted seamlessly into our backline and is doing some ridiculous stuff for a rookie in our second year.

    Some very impressive kids this year as well.

    Sheezel, Ashcroft, Owens, Amiss, Humphrey, Wilmot, JvR, Callaghan, Ginbey, Michaelanny, Weddle, Phillipou, Fletcher, Andrew among others

    So, who was third?

    Max Michalanney.

    Strangely, McVee didn't actually show up on their weekly top 8 rookie rankings until Round 17. I dare say they realised the oversight and went back through his performances over the entire season. Shows just how much he flew under the radar in wider footy circles.

    Just as many supporters of clubs other than ours probably have no idea who Judd McVee is, I confess I have no knowledge of Max Michalanney. I don't believe I've ever heard his name before in any context.

    He would have to be close to a walk on start at any club in the league, hoping his 2nd year is as good as his first.

    He actually been really good for the Crows but I would have McVee slightly ahead.

    I feel like he's a player who will clock up a whole lot of '4ths'.

    4th in a Rising Star award, a collection of 4ths in Best and Fairests, a 4th Premiership medal, all that kind of thing.

    Still hard to believe that he made it this year from struggling Casey player to important small lock down defender with silky skills.

    A testament to the player but also says a lot about the coaching/development and recruitment team.

    Haha EO, that's my mistake. 'quite' and 'quiet', 'tried' and 'tired'... they are all sort of like twins in front of my eyes, I'd often misjudged them.

    McVee - the silent executioner. He will probably stay under the radar earning widespread awe and acclaim from the footballing community.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
