I wonder if they will use pick 11 and 18 to get Burgoyne across the line? Or maybe pick 11 plus a player it certainly gives us some extra chips to put on the table.

bye bye Brock cant say i'll miss you.

you played two great games out of 94

oh and your slow....... very very slow

i reckon the queen would woop your ass in a race lol

Does any one remember the way C.J left the club and the way he was sent of by D.B... In a Flash there will more departures...

Does this strengthen our position in getting Burgoyne?

Thats the first thing I thought of too 45h. Most likely it does. I wonder if this has anything to with there being no announcement from the Burgoyne camp yet concerning his preferred club. Probably not, but maybe.

In one mind, Im sad to see Brock go. Couldnt help but like the guy. But at the same time I think we've made out very well. Pick 11 for McLean is a good deal in my mind. Was having a beer with my Carlton mate this afternoon and we discussed the then rumour. He said he would be disappointed if the Blues gave up pick 11 for McLean. The question we discussed was simply: If Brock McLean version 2009 (all things considered, injuries, pre-season etc) was in the upcoming draft, at what pick would he be drafted? Top 10? Im thinking no.

Well, even more reason now to get excited about the draft. That is, if we dont offload the pick before then in a trade.

Mixed feelings about this. Mixed feelings.

Have agreed with the sentiment that having Jones boy, Brent and Brock was one too many.

Carlton fans will know they are getting a bloke who will give it his all, we don't have the assurance that the bloke we draft will do the same, but lets hope.

Thanks Brock for you love of our club, I am baffled by your decision but know you've done it with the best of intentions.

Onward and upward Dees. This will bring with it more short term pain, but we're pretty tough I reckon. Another year of what we've just had on the way I reckon. Prepared to back those at the club that we will draft well.

Go Dees !!!

Well that's one of the 2% of rumours that comes true. I think we should congratulate all concerned on consumating the deal without the usual argy bargy that goes on at trade time. It sounds very much like a win-win situation for both clubs.

Personally, I feel sad for Brocky who I once considered an absolute certainty for the role of Melbourne's next premiership captain.

Does any one remember the way C.J left the club and the way he was sent of by D.B... In a Flash there will more departures...

F%^ no?

Please no!!!!!!!

Why would we want Burgoyne? Great skills, but heading towards too old for our window and has dodgy knees. Let the Hawks have him. Now if we could get Dangerfield or Boak...

I am off to take i deep breath before i post............................holy f!#@$

I agree

I hate football right now

I love it

I'm actually fine with this.

Never been a fan of Brock. It's interesting that people thought he was in real captaincy contention and he has chosen to leave the club.

Agreed

has become very injury prone, would like to see how he is going to go with more games at the dome, harder ground

Apparently Ratten got in his ear earlier in the year and told him to come over

Half of me is annoyed because I rated him.

The other half of me is feeling the same way I did when CJ left - if you don't want to play for the mighty Red and Blue you can p!ss off.

Does any one remember the way C.J left the club and the way he was sent of by D.B... In a Flash there will more departures...

Are you deliberately indicating something there????

This better not be a hint dafacat.

Spit it out. What do you know?

buddy, mind telling us the other name(s) that you know? i will believe you if you say it, unlike those other tossers, jk

haha, check out the quotes

gotta weigh up everything here

now we get pick 1, 2, 11, 19 .. 4 in the top 20 in the last uncompromised draft .. 66% of our list are 22 or younger .. this is just strategic moving for the future

tom skulley is replacing mclean perfectly

and to be honest now that monoley and jones as stepped up im happy to trade mclean for a new prospect

so they say we lost our future captian.. did he leave because we didnt want to give it to him? will tom sculley now get 5 or 31?

Support the jumper. Support the club. Support the blokes wearing the jumper.

Stuff the rest!

Mixed feelings about this. Mixed feelings.

Agree with all of that.

Btw thanks for the info dafatcat.

Any more info will be well appreciated. nah seroiusly tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me !

i bet donsy24 will be over this one

If Davey leaves I will be seriously concerned.

It's a real pity

I was a believer in him. He wasn't the fastest, but liked every thing else.

I'd prefer him not to leave.. but it does leave a space in the midfield where the replacement will out-do it's predecessor

Farewell brocky

Whoever signed off on this deal in club is a fool, never have a felt so diflated and upset as a Melbourne supporter you have let this happen far too easily, I have defended DB and BP up to now but this is just a disgrace.

As for Judas, I hope you break both your legs and never play again.

I herd Davey to Collingwood. But I'm not even going to believe it and usually get good mail.

I am fuming, this club has gone to [censored] in the way it has tried to attract and or keep players and the treatment of them, robbo, woey, ox all shunted

mclean who bled for this club is going, we are supposedly trying to build a new culture and all I see is more failures, I am fcuking so angry, and the fact he will be wearing a fcuking carlton top next year is just too fcuking much, this club needs to have a good hard look at itself where we keep [censored] players and trade those who have a bit of passion for the place.

If they want me to re sign next year they better give me a fcuking good explanation on why they could not keep Mclean and what lengths they went to.

Good and succesful clubs keep their players, we are ending up like port. Except they can win a flag every now and then.

I wonder if they will use pick 11 and 18 to get Burgoyne across the line? Or maybe pick 11 plus a player it certainly gives us some extra chips to put on the table.

stuff Burgoyne, unless port want pick 18, picks 1, 2 and 11 .... rebuild complete

If Davey leaves I will be seriously concerned.

I think I am going to vomit...
