Bring Back Brock

Pass. Wish he'd never left, but no value in having him back now. Got to move on.

His best game in 3 years but it was only against us!

    Bottom line, if he wanted to come back and the FD thought he'd be valuable I'd be happy for us to try to get him. When does he come out of contract? Surely he'd be frustrated at being constantly played in the VFL and he'd want top level exposure.

    If we can get him cheap/PSD, I say why not. If we have to chase him/lure him/sweeten the pot for Carlton, no. He would have to come back on our terms.

    Who here thinks on current form he wouldn't push the likes of Sylvia and Moloney out of the team?

    While we're at it, let's bring back Ben Holland, Nathan Carroll, and perhaps we can dig up the corpse of Norm Smith?

    The only way is forward.

    Forget Brock McLean and that entire way of thinking.

    1) Brock Mclean....lol

    2) VFL only.

    3) Overrated

    4) Absolutely no speed for the modern game.

    5) Lost the plot at Melbourne & cant get a game at Carlton unless someone is injured. Not favoured by two AFL teams says it all.

    6) I used to like Chooka... but he is a dud much like Morton has become. Talented to useless in the space of two years.

    7) Stick him with the John Howat/Brent Grgic pile. Finished due to being useless.

    8) Invest in the future only for me not the past.

    He's hardly played any footy in his three seasons at Carlton, yes I liked him for a while with us but he's past his time, he'splayed his best footy of his career with us. Even though he had 33 possessions he still looked slower than ever

    IF and when a guy some may remember, Jordan Gysberts, gets back on the field and hits anything like the firm of his first few games, people will stop this sort of talk.

    stuff his first few games, he got the ball heaps but didnt use it, i think it was in the middle of last year where for 3 or 4 games in a row he had probably 20-25 possessions but he used the ball so well, had much more time to targets and was alot more valuable, injury has set him back again so probably take a few games to get the speed back again, probably struggle with structures at first too considering he hasn't had any before.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
