Just said on ch 10 sport that Mclean won Carlton's time trial beating Judd.

Also said that Judd will be playing forward with Brock in the middle.

I know we've had enough of this topic but still my reaction...........F@*K

It was a V8 race

 

Well, that does imply that Mclean is reasonably injury free now.

And we've always known that Mclean is exceptional at sustaining a single pace for long periods.

It's probably a good move, might extend Judd's career a little at the same time as testing our whether the Gibbs/Murphy/Mclean onball unit can do the job alone. Might mess around with plans to match up on Judd, too.

This is exactly why Mclean might really be worth pick 11 to the Blues. Good luck to him. If he's really lucky the Blues will even get a premiership in before the Demons roll over the top.

Also, Scully would have beaten them both. Not kidding or exaggerating. That's just what we're getting. Lap it up.


Pffft Judd had a case of chronic groin chaffing after his holiday with twiggers in noosa

either that or severe blue balls either way he wasn't 100%

Edited by Bates Mate

He has always been a strong runner, just not quick.

Always kept up with Jones in our runs, why should it be any different at Carlton?

Yes, and that pace is...really......reallly.........SLOW!!

Not necessarily. Brock can build up a bit of pace.

He just has a lot of trouble changing pace, and direction.

He's not fast, but his top speed is ok. His biggest problem is that he is not quick or agile and has lousy acceleration.

Brock used to always win our 3km time trials...by along way!

This is no surprise, especially if he is injury free.

Who?

EXACTLY!!!!

Time to move on from Brock, in 2 weeks we will have a very nice replacement for him, actually 2, and it is going to be a pleasure watching these 2 run Brock into the ground in the coming years ;)

What he makes up for in running long distances he lacks in skill and decision making.

I know what I'd rather...

Gippy


Keeping up with Jones is nothing to sneeze at either. He was the record holder for the stingrays over 3km 'til Scully came along.

I know... the record at the stingrays was 10:10 until Scully did a 9:36 (maybe 9:26)..... thats a 5% increase on the best U18 to ever come through the club....

We are a lucky club this year

does anyone know what time he ran?

also would it be the course around princess park? i ran it on saturday, i'm interested to know how i match up :lol:


Not that Mclean beating Judd means anything, but I still think we got a raw deal losing Mclean for pick 11. (discounting the fact he wanted to leave).

Mclean has always done well in the pre season time trials. Only problem is he drives just as fast as well.

Not that Mclean beating Judd means anything, but I still think we got a raw deal losing Mclean for pick 11. (discounting the fact he wanted to leave).

How could it have been better? Who would have realistically offered more for him? What could have Carlton realistically offered in excess of pick 11? Fev? Cloke? If Ball had been on the market would Carlton have chased Ball and not Mclean? Would McLean have been prepared to go to another Club if he could not go to Carlton?

McLean wanting to leave is one issue. And while he did have an interrupted pre season, to finish 11th in the Bluey from 19 games is a poor result from our "No 1 midfielder" in 2009.

It will be interesting to see what draft pick Ball (ex Captain and ex- AA) goes for in the ND. It will be a good bellwether of the deal MFC got for McLean.

Regardless, I doubt any outcome from Ball deal will change the fact that given McLean was leaving MFC that MFC given the circumstances did the best deal possible at the time.

If Carlton had waited instead of moving so quickly they could've had Ball for the same price; a superior player in every way to McLean. In my opinion we should count ourselves extremely lucky we got what we did.

We got a brilliant deal out of a situation, How would have you improved it?

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
