Bring Back Brock


Ned

Recommended Posts

Nice article in the Hun today on him saying that even though he's as slow as a turtle there is a place for guys like him in modern footy. Come home Brock and win a few contests for us.

Don't kid yourself... the way we are traveling at the moment, anyone can look good playing against us.

I think he has played 5 games in his two years at Carlton....A lot more at VFL level

Nobody has the right to bag McLean or suggest he wouldn't be good enough at MFC.

He would be hands down our number 1 midfielder at the moment.

He tore shreds on our 3rd world midfield. Apologies to N Jones.

We could do worse than a McLean at the moment.

Just silly. Sorry mate.

The guy has had 1 good game and he's a recruiting target for the (already) slowest midfield in the AFL? Come on, is this a joke thread?

And if you really think Brock is better than Jones at the moment you have no credibility whatsoever.

I can not understand how people are saying we haven't given Couch a game because our midfield is already too slow but Brock is actually being taken seriously as an option by some people.... Wowee

Brock is like Cam Bruce at the moment, both will get a game when they have injuries or the game doesn't count, such as when they play against the GC, GWS or us.

Theres a smattering of ex Melbourne "Filler players" in the competition at the moment and if we had them all back we'd be no better off.

Some of the posters on this form absolutely baffles me.

One minute we will have a huge thread about Scully, expressing our hatred towards the player who we picked up as a number #1 draft pick but has now left us due to a lucrative offer. On the other hand, we have Brock Mclean who we picked up in the top 5 draft picks - and left us due to the fact that he did not want to play for the MFC anymore and wanting to find success else where. The suggesstion of opening our doors to the club for Mclean after he walked out on us is absolutely disgusting and weak despite whether he would be an asset.

I wouldn't be surpised if half of the guys here who are thinking this would be a good idea are weak minded individuals who would get dumped by a girl thinking she could get better, then half a year later when she comes crawling back you'd most probably think hey... I'm struggling at the moment, why not? It could be a good idea, I could do worse.

This is the Melbourne Football Club. Not a cushion lounge where a player can leave and then decide whether he wants to come back or not. Get a grip you blokes show some bloody spirit.

I think you'll find that Brock left because he mistakenly thought we had a good midfield and he'd struggle to get a game; well he was wrong wasn't he?

This has to be a troll or the most infactual sentance I have ever witnessed.

Agree. Simon Godfrey would tear us up as part of a Blues midfield with Judd and co

He wouldnt be our no 1 midfielder. The fact that he isnt in the Bluesbest midfield baffles me why anyone would want him back or regret him going for what we traded him for.

Correct.

i think you'll find Melbourne didn't want Brock anymore, so when he did suggest a trade we were quite happy to oblige.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
