LOL - assumes that they can find a carlton official who is less thick than Brock!

How about Barry Prendergast? Then again ...

    Can someone explain to me again the benefits for footballers or any professional sportspeople in having twitter accounts? We've had two NBA players given death threats via twitter in the recent playoffs and I'm sure if scully had an account that's all he'd receive (justifiably). I can't see why anyone would willingly invite lunatics to abuse them online.

    I've heard this morning that Greg Swan spent 8 hours not rolling over to the AFL's strong request of suspending McLean for a game. I must say that I admire that greatly.

    What would Melbourne have done ? I have zero doubt that in the same circumstances they would have acceded to the AFL's wishes and there would have been a different outcome.

    I would let him burn and then tell the rest of the team to stop being so easily trolled on twitter:

    Troll: You're no good and should be delisted.

    AFL player: How dare you?! Your mum has AIDS, and by extension I have AIDS.

    Great moment in humanity the whole thing...

    I totally agree. If you're an athlete and can't handle being heckled without resorting to churlish retorts, then don't sign up for Twitter. If you don't have the willpower to resist, then suck it up or face the consequences. I have little sympathy for McLean.

    Actually one of my preferred footballers on Twitter, at least he doesn't spout the same old NBA, FIFA, 'Get around him yeeewww' crap that the others do.

    yeh i agree, the standard stuff said by players on twitter is pretty boring:

    just ate a great burger on chapel street

    lebron james is a champ

    check out my mates photography business

    blah blah blah

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
