2023 Player Reviews: #41 Judd McVee

Salem has already played some midfield time this season with mixed results.

...when Bowey comes back does he move back into the rotations.

Probably.

McVee's defensive game is too strong to move just yet and it's good to have quality ball use coming out of the back half but then again Howes has been a surprise package with his contested and defensive play.

At least we have some good options.

Playing AMW off half back at Casey...wonder if we see him here or is it a taste of what he needs as a forward? 

Anyway this is a McVee thread and the kid has been a real surprise package since coming into the team last season.

Has so much more to offer and we just got a good look at that last night...

    The kid has massive upside and his current play is special. I trust the club will nurture him in the right direction and position. 
     

    Just sign him up long term.
     

    As a rookie listed player, is he a free agent at the end of a contract? 

    I don’t think so Demonstrrative I think that only applied to JJ because he was drafted and then put on the Rookie List, once he was elevated back to senior list ha became UFA at  the end of his contract.

    and the most annoying thing is that basically doesn't apply any more

    we got stuffed by an arbitrary rule change that has since changed, again

    In 2023 he amazed me with his calmness

    In 2024 he amazes with even more calmness and unbelievable mature thinking and disposal to advantage, under pressure. He is becoming a leader of the backline and it is hard to believe he has played just 30 games and is only 20 yo. Lock him in for a decade

    Incredible.  McVee was a standout addition in 2023.  His composure and skill.  Now in 2024 he’s showing even more resilience and his ability to control and deliver efficiently is next level. He shut down Rankine and again was one of our best on the night. 👏👏👏👏

    From the AFL Website: ( things we liked at round 4)

    Congrats to Judd and the recruiting team. Great to see Judd getting external recognition

    2) The Demons recruiters have done it again

    You can firmly mark Judd McVee down as yet another Melbourne recruiting masterstroke. The young West Australian, who enjoyed a breakout campaign last season, continues to take strides across half-back and has now entrenched himself as one of the club's most important players. Recruited with the 16th selection in the 2021 rookie draft, McVee was outstanding in quietening the raucous Adelaide Oval atmosphere in the early stages of Thursday night's win over the Crows. He had 11 disposals in the first quarter alone and finished with 20 touches to go with four marks, 10 intercepts and four score involvements.  – Riley Beveridge

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
