when i hear people say that brock mclean is goin to be the next melbourne captain i cringe.... i dont think he is up to afl football...i reckon we should look at trading him and pick 18 for a first round pick becasue the afl world is hyping him up then we may be able to get a good deal for him

    He is not going any where, put some quality outside midfielders around him and he will star.

    He's a solid contributor. I doubt we would even consider trading him. However, he wouldn't be my first choice as the next captain.

    I suggested this early in the season and was ridiculed because 90% of people on here got offended that we could even contemplate trading him. Most people wont agree because they are all very blinded and one eyed but it is a very good suggestion.

    If we are going to add Sculy and Trengrove then maybe we need to look at moving either Brock or Jones on

    As much as that hurts me to say i agree with this mate.

    No way in hell id trade beamer after the year he had and the passion he plays with.

    Brock and Jones are very similar, i love em both and i think Brock with a full pre-season and having scully and co around will look a different player next year.

    But yeah if we get Scully and Trengove which i think thats what will happen, there just seems to be too many mid players!?

    Just two more months, just two more months!

    Will we have the same problem if we go for Scully and Morabito?

    I'm surprised it has taken this long for this post to emerge.

    I don't think i need to say what i think of the idea.

    Totally off the table IMO, Brock is a demon through and through.

    True. But I just don't understand what happened to him this year. He was just painfully slow, he kicking was awful and really went missing when it mattered.

    I was expecting a break through year and predicted him to snag the captaincy for 2010 if Junior was ready to hand it over.

    I think we should trade him.

    He is not captain quality at all. He is to SLOW, doesn't tackle and turns the ball over every time he gets its.

    All he is good for is giving monet back to the club for the debt.

    I WOULD TRADE HIM WITHOUT THINKING.

    Get some young kids with good skills instead.

    Am I wrong in thinking he's a gold coast boy? I'd be happy to trade him for a first rounder. I don't doubt his commitment, but I agree with a lot of the posters above.

    What happens then?

    Oh, I know what happens then - we get 2 shiny new midfielders that will make our other midfielders better and that makes threads like this stupid beyond belief?

    You're aggressive and patronising 45HG16, and I for one don't like it...

    Who is this Borck McLean you speak of?

    That's exactly what you would be doing if you traded him.

    He's had 1 ordinary year, there are a lot more players on the list that have more than 1 ordinary year and are still at the club.

    He had no pre season and played like he was injured for the majority of the year. If he plays like this next year then it's time to consider a trade.

    he looks over weight for a footballer!!

    none of our mid players are that good......there will never be a judd or ablett type player come out of a mclean, jones or moloney.

    But there is a ling, bartel and enright there.... just need a top ten afl mid to round off the group....

    I want to keep Mclean and Jones but who are we going to play in the middle.... Jones was played out of the fwd line for the last eight weeks so maybe the FD see his future there....

    If we recruit Scully(obviouisly) he his in the midfield and maybe trengove or marabito will play high half forward with sylvia thus being the extra midfielders

    I reckon we should take the risk and pick up Morabito, this guy looks like a gun and could be what the team needs in order to go to the next level. If we were to go with the safe option, like martin, trengove and cunnington, i could see these guys in the mclean mould. A team of mclean's wont win us a flag.

    about time a few of you agreed with me .Yes trade mclean immediately and ensure that valenti stays on the list .I beleive he is our best mid fielder and if the club decides to let him go then watch him turn into the next darren jolly

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
