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

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
