seedy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'get along with dudley lacking class' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'get along with dudley' is the wordplay.
'get' becomes 'see' (both can mean to understand).
'along with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'dudley' becomes 'dy' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'see'+'dy'='SEEDY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seedy that I've seen before include "Unseemly" , "Raspberry jam might be" , "Pip is" , "Sleazy, sordid" , "sickly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
