Melbourne's Judd McVee Requests Trade to Fremantle

Fremantle will seek a deal for the out-of-contract 22-year-old once the trade window opens on October 6.

Overview

  • McVee informed Melbourne he wants to return to Western Australia after declining extension offers from the Demons.
  • The Dockers hold draft picks 11, 29, 38, 47 and 65 plus future selections to use in negotiations.
  • Competition sources say Fremantle appealed to McVee with the prospect of a more attacking role.
  • The defender has played 65 games since being drafted from East Perth, with a hamstring issue limiting his 2025 season.
  • The move lines up with the AFL calendar, with free agency running October 3–10 and the trade period set for October 6–15.
