2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

Demonland
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.

    Disappointed in the Judd, hope he doesn’t end up regretting the move to Dockers, he had earnt a niche in our best 23 and sad to see him go.

    Disappointing, but a direct trade for Jackson would be very just compensation 🤗

    This guy is a big loss. Such a solid, dependable footballer. Hoping we get the value he brings to our side in return for him.

    He was a long way from solid & dependable this year. Apart from 2 or 3 games he was loose, hesitant & sloppy. Should of been dropped.

    Do you reckon? Maybe it's rose coloured glasses or him being traded has made me want a greater return, but I feel like he's that really solid, hard to beat player that provides value in both attack and defence.

    He did miss the first chunk of this season with a bad hammy so maybe that impacted his play this year.

    Big loss.

    I hold nothing against Judd and wish him the best but it is difficult when you discover someone, put the time into them only to see them depart. That is the sport though.

    I hope we get a decent return.

    Come on… the everyday layman suffers worse than these $300k average wage footballers who often travel or stay overseas, away from loved ones for long periods of times. Commodity traders as an example, travel so often that they can go 5-6 months away from their home country.

    My mate is Global Business Development Manager for a service company and only has a chance to visit family and friends in Australia 2 months a year.

    McVee can’t survive domestic 3-4 hour flights? 😂🤣

    Players have too much power in the AFL.

    McVee is just another run of the mill HBF with no outstanding qualities. It was why he went in the rookie draft.

    We gave him a chance when no-one else would and he then holds us over a barrel for an entire year before fleeing home to WA.

    I’m glad we didn’t offer him a contract too good to refuse. Good riddance is all I can say.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
