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 :)

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
