Brock walked out on us & went to Carlton. We recieved Pick 11....NEXT. B)

believe me, Brock was quietly pushed. It suited the Club and him to give the impression he walked out cos it gave Carlton the justification to give us pick 11. on current grounds, this could never be justified, given the quality of gysberts, and even Tapscott. We got by far the best deal, and the timing was perfect given the GC and WS dominated drafts for the next two years.

The Club was very very smart on this deal, and we should just be satisfied and move on and enjoy watching "the kids"

How many times can people have the same conversation. Who cares if he was pushed, he walked or if he was kidnapped by Carlton he is no longer worth discussing.

I'd heard Bailey didn't know he was going til it hit the media, and was surprised as the two were good mates. Seems a little less clear cut than that.

It's a footy forum. And it's fun.

Great thread. The entire basis was that Brock was having an operation and out for 12 months. Comes out and plays less than 2 weeks later. No0one seems to have picked up on this. Where did Healy get this info?

Pringle, it was I who revisited this thread to make precisely that point, but unfortunately as usual, it gets sidetracked by people with an agenda of sticking it to Brock for his decision to leave the club.

I said (a few posts above): "Sometimes I have to wonder where these kinds of rumours spring from... and the interesting thing with his one is that it was never refuted... until today when one Brock McLean is running around against West Coast. "

One point missing from this thread is that Brock is likely to play finals this year (if he doesn't have that season ending operation). Although Melbourne may make the 8 this year, I think that Brock will be happy he made the move. I think that there is a spot for a quality player like Brock at both clubs and if a guy makes a decision about a club based on recovery plans from injury it shows where his head is at.

Brock may be Happy but i know a lot of Carlton supporters who are furious!!! Particularly after last saturday.

(Brock hasn't been a Quality player since 2006-we were all just hoping it would happen)

Sorry mate, didn't see. Point well made then. Carry on
