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

I read that in an article today. I laughed. what the?

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.

What was it Burn outs at Visy Park??

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%

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?

Who?

How bad is Judd going for that to happen!

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

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.

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

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

Who?

Very glib...

good luck to mclean..he's november champion over judd...

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

Who cares?

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

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.

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?
