woohoooo.. i was worried carltank would back out on their word, but straight swap brock for 11

 
 
very happy

I think a great deal for MFC- we get a great pick in this draft for a guy who always has shown promise however over the last two years has dropped back- I felt the way he was going would not be in my best team in 2010 unless improved spees dramatically. Felt both Maloney and Jones had gone ahead of him as an inside midfielder


yes, harrington confirmed on sen

Fantastic. A good outcome, I think it's win-win, Brock wasn't going anywhere at Melbourne. A great deal for us especially, he probs wasn't worth a pick 11.

right on both counts, pick 11 on KPF(hopefully) Beamer and Jones stood tall in a season which , well what can you say, got the picks and games into the kids, Brock should do well at the Blues, wont be required to run and carry

Glad the deal is done now and we got good value for a player who lost interest, but i'm still not happy.

Something is just not right and I won't be happy until the player we pick up with Pick 11 starts performing.

It all depends on who we pick up for 11 and how the player performs, don't you think?

Finally.

He also said we were looking to hold onto all the picks.

Was also fairly fervent in selling the "developing through the draft" line, almost insistent on it without being asked, as though he needed to make it clear that losing Brock was a positive.

It's probably Brock's decision that is not right or doesn't sit right with you.

It was his decision to walk. I couldn't give a rats what he does from here on in, and I for one will not be sitting around unhappy waiting for Pick 11 to perform.

I will be looking very much forward to Pick 11's debut.

I'm very happy that we have 1,2,11,18 to be brutally honest.

thats right looking to...it is the intention to... but he sounded very much like the door was open to anything for pick 18 and above

Yes I think you're right. I guess the club, and our list managers are hardening up a bit and making some tough decisions particulalry with pay and such, if Brock couldn't handle it then fine, we'll find someone who can.

I would like to say goodluck and give him my best wishes, but i'm still angry and I don't think he deserves them.

Always the pessimist Jackattack. Pick 11 for Brock is an absolute steal! By obtaining this pick we have a shot at drafting a capable KPP. Brock on the other hand is a known quantity which we simply don't need.

Not always, I just really liked Brock. And I don't seem to rate picks this year as much as others here. I suppose in this case I am a bit pessimistic.

When they call out pick 11 on draft day i'll feel better.

Absolutely magnificent result for the MFC.

I was convinced that after the inclusion of both Scully and Trengrove (who i think will definetly be playing round 1) that Mclean was going to be pushed out of our best 22.

Number 11 and 18 i would think HAVE to be used on key position forwards as i feel our midfield is going to develop quite well when you consider the young talent in there.

Scully

Trengrove

Blease

Strauss

Jones

Moloney

Sylvia

Grimes

Morton

Bennell

Jetta

Davey

Petterd

We are starting to see the makings of a quality side when you add our growing list of key position backs coupled with the emergence of Watts and Jurrah.

from the players metioned there is a nice balance of youth, experience, inside/outside mids and those who do both

does that mean i have to change my name....damn.

Question: when we play Carlton next will we boo him?

I understand C Johnson, and i will always hate him but i dont know why but im happy for Brock and not angry at him

its because we got a great deal out of it and going by the list of midfielders in those other posts mclean would struggling to get a game in a years time i reckon!


Tim Harrington is earning his money. He's a new favourite of mine, along with BP. God, I'm glad we got rid of Craig Cameron. Our recruiting team is the best it's ever been. Finally, the MFC is on the way to being a professional outfit.

Right there with you, HT.

Had he said "we're absolutely not planning to trade them" I'd have taken that with a grain of salt too. As the saying goes, there's no such thing as untradeable.

I must admit, although I'm annoyed at the circumtances, I find myself wishing him well.

Jesus I hate this line of thinking. BP has had hardly any time to be proven a winner as a recruiter. His worth will only be proven in 4 or so years.

And however well you think of him now, CAC was as close to completely supported on here as you could get as a recruiter, and that WAS after half a dozen recruiting seasons. I don't want to reopen the old boring debate, but he is given a far harder time on here than he deserves. There's a reason he was headhunted.

Craig Cameron resigned his post at MFC. Its too early to start toasting the recruiting team we have now but I hope you are right. For the record the list we are building now will include many of Cameron's selections up to 2007. Grimes,Frawley, Martin, Garland are all from Cameron's era.

Laud BP when justified but credit where credit is due.

Still gutted.

Will be hating the fact that come the first game we play v Carltank that a heap of idiots will boo Chooka.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
