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

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
