Brock McLean out for season

Featured Replies

Argh!!!!! :(

Can't believe he played out the match with a broken ankle, the man is insane!

Does this blow his chances to be captain next year?

 

That's unbelievable... I can't believe he came back on. WHat an effort!!!

Green the favourite for the Bluey now.

And in a sense I'm glad, because these mids that are screaming out for a game will now automatically get one. And everyone wins... Bailey gets his kids in, they get games, the fans are happy particularly since the kids got us there on the weekend.

It's not a GOOD thing exactly, but since Brock gets a full pre-season in, it's not like we're losing a shot at the flag...

If anyone didnt deserve this, Its Brock.

After his shaky pre-season his been excellent on and off the field this season.

Good luck with the Re-hab and all that Brock!

 

I am having the same surgery as Brock in August.

It is a fairly simple operation, but he will need to be in plaster for 4 to 6 weeks, depending on how it heals and how bad it is when they get into the operation.

After that he will of course do all the rehab and be fine for next year.

It is the sort of injury where you can put up with the pain and play, but the ligaments will never heal.

Ligaments, once they stretch, dont go back. They need to be pulled back and tightened. Surgery is the only way they can heal.

Also i love how he gets surgery straight away, while i, despite having private cover, need to wait 2 months to get in.

(not that i want him to have wait)

another thing that may impact on mclean is his leadership credentials, i.e. the capataincy. He is a great leader, but if he misses the season he could be overlooked in favor of someone who has played the whole year, e.g. bruce or jones... or even the dreaded miller (see yesterdays herald sun convo between mark robinson and the other guy).

Maybe Kezz, but long term injuries to Beamer and Riv havn't stopped their elevation to the leadership group.


Pretty disappointed when heard the news, but better get it fixed now and be right in the preseason

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
