McLean unhappy with Casey Fields location

[Sir Why You Little 34,623]

Of course there is but it does not need to played out in the media.

We paid him a lot of money for a fairly limited return over the Journey, i as a member would like to know at some stage Why he decided to walk out with his Tail between his legs.

I am STOKED we got pick 11, but i would still like an explanation from the said "carlton" player as to his actions because that article today was a pile of steaming BS.

If you are that interested chase his Facebook site. I am sure he will be glad for the enquiry.

Otherwise get off the high horse and move on.

Mclean seems a good fit at Visy, with the family connection.

Personaly i think Mclean tryed to buy his way in to captainancy, with his donatetions to debt-demolition. When told that he wouldn't be captain, he had a teary and asked to be traded.

I didn't want this to turn into a McLean bashing thread, it's about the issue of where Casey Fields is located.

I don't see a problem with it and I think it's a great place and a great move by the club (for many reasons stated before), but it's the first time the issue has been brought up publicly and one that may come up again.

I am not Bashing Mclean, i just found the contents of this mornings article to be quite extraudinary that's all.

I like Liam Jurrah. 300 km round trip by car through the desert PLUS a plane flight to play for Nightcliff in Darwin

Jurrah is a superstar.

Well Said, That just sums up the Rubbish that was written in this mornings Rag. Enjoy playing at Etihad Brock.

I'm sure you're ankle will just love it....

Marribynong to Casey is a fair hike, I get that.

But you're a footballer getting a great wad of cash- move house!!!

You're not a student with no cash who is practically forced to live at home.

Considering that you are driving against the majority of traffic, and the M1 up grade is nearing completion, as a Melbourne player you can live in a vast array of eastern suburbs - expensive or inexpensive leafy or bayside, and be at Casey in around 40 minutes. Plus you are closer to Junction oval and our future base at Olympic park.

Great facilities. Just miles away from the CBD. This will always be an issue.

Just a little....

What sort of content do you honestly expect from the Hun.

The Hun is a classic, the most informative pages are the 50/50 colums & the Garfield Cartoon.

But i was still very disappionted to read that article this Morning.

A once Touted Future Captain giving out those Lame excuses. I am sorry but i could see right through it.

But that's cool, i will just let Brocky know my feelings next year at the apropriate Fixture.

Good call!

And it isn't like he then heads off to a full time job somewhere else.............footy is the full time job, so if it takes a little extra to get there and back, then tough!

[Rogue 585]

As I said, it's not ideal, but such is life.

Ask 99% of footballers and they'd tell you that they'd rather drive further than have to train at a rat-infested craphole (read: Junction).

Brock's choice wasn't Junction or Casey - it was Casey or Carlton(?).

And it isn't like he then heads off to a full time job somewhere else.............footy is the full time job, so if it takes a little extra to get there and back, then tough!

...or you change your job for somewhere that has a better commute, something many people do all the time.

Most Demonlanders probably can't fathom why you'd leave Melbourne, but when you're in an industry it's far from the idealised world you might imagine it to be.

If McLean's situation occurred in an industry other than footy no one would have a bad word to say about leaving because you know the bosses, have a better commute, etc.

The one session during the season, im sure it wouldn't be too hard to organize a bus to take players from our rectangle home or the G would it?

I reckon a bus would be worse. First, you have to leave when the bus leaves - generally that means when the last player is ready to go. Second, a bus is unlikely to go as fast as you would in your car (particularly if you're Brock, ZING). Third, it's probably a longer route if you end up at the 'G or wherever.

Of course there is but it does not need to played out in the media.

Indeed.

I care little for what a Carlton player has to say about our training facilities.

ZING.

The Dees are not the only club in Melbourne.

If you lived in Maribyrnong and worked for Ken's Pizza Joint in Cranbourne, but discovered you could ply your exquisite pizza-making skills at Graeme's Pizza Parlour in Parkville, one of nine pizza places in Melbourne, that would have to factor into your decision. Plus, Graeme's was offering you more money and a faster opportunity to participate in the International Pizza-Making Championships. You loved most of the people back at Ken's, but the place was a bit run-down, the air conditioning was stuffed, the boss yelled at you, the oven was often broken and Ken wasn't able to renovate for another 4-6 years. Time for a change.

To continue the analogy, my extent of pizza knowledge is limited to the eating part!

To some fans the AFL might be this wonderful and idealised industry.

For players it's a job with bosses you may not get on with, employers with crummy conditions, colleagues that you may or may not get on with, a crummy commute, etc.

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

Weak as [censored] :D

If his boss in Maribyrnong offered him a fat paycheck, free pizza toppings under the table and the opportunity to manage the store, he wouldn't be complaining about the travel time.

And now I want pizza. Damn you!

[pantaloons 2,019]

The question is, are you willing to drive out to Ken's to get it?

Oh, no you didn't!

Burn.

No, for the money they pay him, Brock should deliver it! <_<
