Judd McVee came across from Melbourne in the off season to not much acclaim, at least not in the eastern states media who tend to leave the non-Vic sides' reporting to local journos. McVee has always looked to have time on field, an ineffable quality in some ways but an indicator that his positioning and game awareness are first rate. Fremantle tend to play their half back fairly high so there was some upside to him at a new club for fantasy coaches, but he seems to have settled into a quiet roleplayer slot with Jordan Clark still doing most of the rebound running.

Judd McVee has been in the news this week as one that got away from the West Coast Eagles recruiting machine. The Demons were able to wait until the first round of the rookie draft to pick him in 2021 which, when you read his draft profiles and watch tape of his first 30 senior games, might come as some surprise. The knock on him as a junior was always on his ability to find enough of the footy to make use of his evident skills, and that is also the thing holding him back from becoming of use in fantasy competitions. Volume is his last goal: he needs to turn it up.
