Dream switch: former Dee thriving at flying Fremantle

By Justin Chadwick

From 190-point floggings to 14 wins in a row, Fremantle recruit Judd McVee can hardly believe his luck as he adapts swimmingly to life as a Docker.

McVee, a rookie draft selection in 2021, spent the first four years of his AFL career at the Melbourne Demons before making the switch to Fremantle at the end of last season.

Judd McVee is right at home at Fremantle.

It’s proven to be a case of perfect timing with Fremantle (14-1) sitting two wins clear on top of the ladder and aiming for their 15th win in a row in Saturday’s clash with GWS in Canberra.

McVee hails from Geraldton, a town more than 400km north of Perth, and he never came close to 14 wins in a row during his junior football days there.
