montasaurus 0 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Arrogant, CFC will suit the little mongrel. Refused to shake a champions of the games hand in Kirk before the game. Haven't seen him have a touch yet either! Good riddens, probably why he is not the next MFC captain!
Cards13 9,117 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Ridiculous. He gave all he could to MFC, blood sweat and tears, including a large donation to keep us alive. He looked like a complete jack boot not shaking one of the fairest, hardest players of our era's hand but ridiculous.

Maybe his true filthy colour is shining through.

agent_orange 0 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 haha very harsh brother, very harsh. Don't agree mate. Still looks slow. Not doing much.
montasaurus 0 Posted February 20, 2010 Author Posted February 20, 2010 haha very harsh brother, very harsh. Don't agree mate. Honestly short of whacking someone from behind theres not much worse somebody can do in my eyes then not shake the hand of a champion when it is offered. I'm sure he didn't learn that lesson at the MFC. Maybe another sign of the "Team and culture" that good old juddy is attempting to build.
Demon_Tingles 211 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I must say I was annoyed McLean left as I respected him highly but after tonight i couldn't give a rats. That is the most disrespectful, arrogant, worthless thing I have ever seen. What harm is there in shaking the hand of a champion player. Poor effort Brock. Not good enough regardless of who you play for. It is just common decency and apparently Brock has lost his.
Pipefitter 2,236 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I used to love the guy but now he is gone i must say im quite happy he is taking in last years form into this game. Slow to react, tackles arent holding, spending a lot of time on the ground but just seems to be running around.
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Ok I missed this, he refused to shake his hand as the captain of CFC? (i.e. at the coin toss) or just as a player pre game?

While I think he looked like a fair ye olde goose most "disrespectful, arrogant, worthless thing I have ever seen" is a bit of a stretch my goos man. I'd suggest Libba eye gouging and sniping Knights would top it, Matthews king hit on the Bruns, Solomon on Ling I'll add Lockett on Caven (exploding his face) etc etc are worth of comments like that.
DirtyDees DDC 190 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 memo to Carlton...'are your McLeans showing?'. Not so far. Am i missing things or has Mclean hardly touched the ball to 1/2 time. And good grief, what a dreadful match. I like one-on-one stuff but there's no one offering a target up forward. Jetta looks good. They said he wasn't a great kick but he's hitting targets and he's quick. BP said he could have picked up Jetta as a rookie in 2008. Bummer.

Pregame in the centre square... McLean was in the middle. Kirk walked up to shake his hand. Mclean ignored it, spat into his own hands, Kirk just said "you won't shake my hand" (if I can lip read) and looked away like he didn't give a flying fig.

Yes that is fair but I think to someone who has done nothing at all except offer his good luck to him, to not shake his hand or even acknowledge him is just purely disrespectful. I mean no matter who you are if someone offers you their hand you shake it. Chris Judd always shakes opponents hands who does McLean think he is. Fairly certain he didn't pull stunts like that at the dees. Clearly he thinks he is better than he is. It's nothing personal I just cant stand arrogant or disrespectful acts like that.
montasaurus 0 Posted February 20, 2010 Author Posted February 20, 2010 including a large donation to keep us alive. I'm sure his 1st VI$Y check would have had him covered.

Haven't seen him have a touch yet either! Good riddens, probably why he is not the next MFC captain! Garry Lyon is also one that doesnt believe in shaking hands before the game Another negative post all because he moved on ? Thought we didnt allow these sort of posts or have we gone to the low level of Big Footy This is the best place for demon supporters and i prefer it stay that way
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Fair enough, he does not have to pre game, post match then dif, coin toss between captains yes. Carey never did and snubbed Neitz If I remember right, I bet heaps of players don't, i use to play with players who wouldn't. No big deal I think. Wasn't there some one else who did this a few years ago and there was a massive media blow up over it?
Nasher 33,686 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 David Neitz did this a few years ago in his 300th, to Nick Maxwell. I'm going to assume you all feel the same way about Neitz as you do McLean for his actions.

I agree he looked like a fool not shaking, as I said before one of the fairest, straight ahead, best out of himself players of era's hands in a practice match. I'm not trying to be "disrepectful" but disrespect is one of the biggest [censored] statements sports people throw around these days. It seems to flow from the US sports were disrespect is high on everyones agenda and we've picked it up. Jabba Jaw would like to say Jabba Jaw

I'm going to assume you all feel the same way about Neitz as you do McLean for his actions. Like I stated earlier this is one of the lowest acts a footballer can do, if Neitz was not embarrased about this its says something about him. 1st round NAB cub for a new club is hardly a 300th not that changes anything!
Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,335 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Its become as bit of a trend during the season proper not to shake hands with the opponent. You don`t see it happen much at all. But in an Nab Cup match, arguably the most respected skipper in the AFL in the last decade makes 2 attempts to shake your hand and you respond by spitting in your hands, just reeks of CFC arrogance. Poor form Chook
Sir Why You Little 37,478 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Why should a player shake his oponents hand? Why is it a travesty? Players are there to win Storm in a teacup...Mclean does look hideous in that evil jumper. Pick 11 was a Bargain.
Jarka 767 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Geez he looks slow, which is a worry because this will probably be the fittest he'll be all season.
Hulett Packard III 166 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 The way things are going McLean might well end up playing in three wooden spoon teams in a row.
Cards13 9,117 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Quote from Robert Walls: "Just looking at Brock Mclean he is exhausted." 15 mins to go in last qtr with 4 handballs....
Red Legs 0 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 David Neitz did this a few years ago in his 300th, to Nick Maxwell. I'm going to assume you all feel the same way about Neitz as you do McLean for his actions. We forgive Neitz because he's a club champion. We bag Mclean because he chose to go to carlton, he seems to be representative of the new carlton. All arrrogance but no substance. Good riddance! I love his first 3 quarters, carlton have no forward set up whatsoever and are in big strife. This is great to watch, just great.
