Those type of players dont come around too often he bleeds red and blue, has been clearly in the top 2 or 3 all year, clearly was not right to go on again didnt move well at all. aslo went to Rich V Carlton game and sat next to the bench and saw richo come of injured firstly was in doubt to start then see him try even though he knew his hammy wasnt good and was swearn his head of.

Bet Brocky felt so frustrated he was injured and could be out there doin his thing, on a positive note atleast the bye will give him well deserved rest

He couldn't walk after the game. If you watch the replay of the last quarter you can see him after the siren limping very badly.

I thought it was fantastic that he willed himself to get back on the ground, and even though he was in obvious pain he still put himself in the contest and threw his body around the packs. A sign of someone who desperately wants to help out his teammates.

Since I sit near the bench, I could see him talking to the physio as he was testing his ankle on the boundary line and he was desperate to come back on the ground even before half time.

:wub: :wub:

I am positive he was [censored] of not being out there crashing heads.

Bailey highlighted this in his press conference, and that he was injured before the game but said there was no way he was going to miss, gotta love the chooka!

Who is forgetting? He's inspirational. The next gun leader.

I read somewhere that it wasn't just that he willed himself back on, but Bailey said that at Half-time he demanded to come back on

His game was unbelievable. He came back on, was hobbling like an old grandma, and I thought "here we go, he's not going to get a touch." But he picked up as much of the ball as ever, in the same ways as ever... He may not have gotte smashed in tackles as much as usual in the last, but you'd forgive him that. He was still clearing the ball out of the guts too...

Wow. What more can you ask? Inspiration, courage, determination, skill... I hope Bailey got the message loud and clear. Brock will be a force to be reckoned with if the coach allows him to be.

If I was a new coach I'd be searching madly for a James Hird/Michael Voss type that can win games for me and make me look good. Brock may not be up there with those guys, but players will follow him.

Brock is a courageous fella. Always gives 100% and works so hard to find the footy as much as he does.

He's got a big future with the MFC.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
