McLean unhappy with Casey Fields location



Recommended Posts

Yea true, but hes using this as a cop out

Better this than potting the Club over tanking etc.

Pfft, I'd travel to Milan and back everyday to work with Dolce & Gabbana.

Sure, but there aren't nine Dolce & Gabbana's in the Melb metro area.

Why did Brock really leave ????

In time the truth will emerge, but he chose to leave so his committment was zilch.

Wont be a huge lost to our team based on his 2 previous seasons.

A bit sad, as he used to be a favorite of mine.

Might play some good footy for the Blues but wont be a matchwinner for them - way too slow these days.

Its gunna be great to get a player who wants to be a Demon !!!!!!!

So ... a young man in the prime of his life ... physically fit...sportsman ... back & hammies tighten up after a one hour drive.

Traded him none too soon if that's the case.

If he said he couldn't commit 100% to Melbourne, what does Carlton think of him, having said that........good luck Judd.

12 months ago, Brock was in there giving money to the Debt Demolition - pronouncing his devotion to the MFC. Players weren't asked to hand back some of their salary - but he did - put his love for the club up in lights.

From the day he first joined Brock has been shouting from the rooftops that he wanted to be captain.You can only presume that he got the message that he was no longer the golden haired boy - and with that all of his devotion went out the window.

He wanted a full spread in the paper - so he had to put over some sort of story. He couldn't tell the journo the truth ... so he came up with the traffic story

As captain of the MFC, I reckon he would have loved the spin out to Casey during the summer holidays

Hat's off to Tim Harrington for snaffling Pick No 11 for a slow midfielder who likes the sound of his own voice

Given that Brock out of his own voluntary savings contributed $25,000 to the MFC debt demolition I cant believe the trite and unreasonable and at times spiteful vitriol that alot of supporters have directed towards him.

I can think of a couple of MFC footballers that have given less on and off the field for MFC but are revered in some strange way.

Bizarre.

Putting up all that $$ from his own pocket is great. but it makes this whole thing more strange, don't you think he would want to put in a really big effort to eradicate the past 2 poor seasons in 2010. Rather than leave with his tail between his legs talking rubbish to the press??

That i find way more Bizzare....

i think it is very reasonable to expect that there would be alot of ill feeling towards Brock RR.

At the end of the day, people can all sound smart and sit atop the tallest rock on their moral high ground, but footy is tribal, and one of our tribe members, our warriors has said, no, i dont think i want to fight with this tribe anymore, i reckon i might go smoewhere else and fight for another tribe, leave my buddies to it, let them do it without me, because i'm just not happy.

Sorry, RR, it's pox, and it smacks of a massive sell out. I loved brock doing his bit for our club, but in my opinion, i reckon all his good work has been let down by his decision to abandon us.

Great warriors are loyal and fight to the end, they dont just pack up half way through the fight and switch to the other team because they were losing!

Who cares? He is gone.

You should get over getting steamed up about fluff in the Hun.

I can assure you there are bigger things in life.

Wonderful self justification of behaviour. Its only a game not a fight in grass skirts

I think I will re read Lord of the Flies and tune in to your wave length.

McLean is not a great warrior. He is a six year player whose is injury ridden with limitations and seeks a new start. Nothing new its happened before. And its not just McLean cop out. He was playing a lesser role at MFC going forward and was going to be paid less by MFC. Some supporters had a fixation with what they wanted McLean to be that he would never become. Its a reality check.

He doesn't deserve the outpouring of people's social ills for it.

Anyway...Ugh Ugh..*adjusts red and blue warrior mask and disappears back into jungle*.

Off to your tribe and greetings to your chief.

BTW, Lord of the Flies is a Year 8/9 text in schools for the past 40 years. Bypassed it have you?

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
