Now that he is over his injuries and Carlscum are deferring we should welcome him back with open arms

Please no more B grade mids who are hard working.

[Left Field 313]

Geez I thought you meant Wona. Hang on a minute.........

Presuming this is about Brock, I've always maintained that whilst we did very well in that trade I would take him back in a heartbeat... always thought he gave his absolute all to our club during him time here, and I also believe he still has plenty of good footy left in him. However, chances of him wanting to return to the MFC after walking out would probably be next to nil I'm guessing.

Me too LF

You are not alone!

Before I opened this I thought to myself 'I bet this will be about Mclean'

Sure enough it was, which resulted in yet another face palm.

No thanks on brock, move on

I am on the fence here.

But, who has played the better footy over the last month? Brock McLean, James Magner or Tom Couch?

Yeah thats not the point in my eyes, the guy walked out. If Tom Scully started playing good footy in his last year of his contract would you want him back?

Which one of them gets to play along side of Judd, Gibbs, Simpson, and Robinson (I hate this guy but yes he is good)?

[Little Richard 6,263]

We need a star(s), not another player who will potentially become a list clogger and not the best midfielder on our list.

[olisik 4,060]

I do not get the obsession everyone has with drafting B grade mids that work hard. We already have a pile of them with an almost non-existent forward line

Fixed.

The age old quibble about which ordinary player is better than which other ordinary player. As Ben Hur said in another thread: chicken pox or measles?

I'll take none thanks.

The devil (demon) you know.......

Carlton have put off talks until the end of the season. If Neeld wants experienced mature bodies i'd prefer to get Brock back than give a chance to someone who cant get a game in a good AFL list.

Spin it which ever way you want, Mclean is a good AFL player. Not the best, but better than many on our list (based on current age/form)

If we trade away picks 3 4 13 for Brock, Caddy and Boak, and then we draft Viney I will have a seizure.

Quick fix will get us half-way up the ladder and thats it. We need to learn to draft and develop our own stars. I am strongly against going for any existing B grade mids.

Sadly I think the club wouldn't agree with me

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Let's get Bruce, Ooze and Cheney back as well!

As the Blues Bros said... we're getting the band back together.

We can pass on our draft picks and delist Grimes, Trenners and Frawley to make space on the list.

Now Calm down olisik

That is never going to happen.

We need a combination of young and mature recruits.

The error of young and nothing else is haunting us now and for the next few years.

With luck we will get " a combination of young and mature recruits".

PS I could handle half way up the ladder at present

[beelzebub 23,378]

you assume hed even be welcomed back.

I would be happy to get Cloke and one of Boak/Caddy/McClean. Maybe a Toumpas, Garlett and Viney.

That would be sweet. All these articles about how we plan on being active though is scary as I would be sad to see a Gysberts or Blease get traded or lose too many draft picks on B grade players.

I don't want to end up a team of brutes with no skill. That would be depressing to watch.

Can it get much more depressing?

Interesting Article on the MFC site by the coach today on trading etc..

I cannot add a link

but no doubt someone else will.

Worth a read.

I basically agree with you however you have to give something of worth to get what you want unless the player you are after is a free agent.

Unfortunately that is the way it works.
