On the Couch - Brock talks about 'tanking'


jumbo returns

Recommended Posts

So Adrian Anderson wants to interview Brock. He'd want to be careful.

If this ends up with Melbourne getting sanctioned, there's a dirty secret about Brock that plenty would be happy to share with the mainstream media.

I can only think up someting like Brock betting on these said games that we were alledgedly tanking in.

That would be a wonderful outcome.

Of course if the AFL do nothing about this after Adrian and Brock have their little chat then MFC can hardly do what they need to do which is get rid of the admin guys who are most compromised in what we all know went on.

Then, once again, the sportsmen are left holding the can for the officials.

This club currently cant even cheat efficiently.

Of course we tanked, your mad if you dont "experiment". Im pretty sure the NBA has some sort of lottery system for draft picks, I think we should too

This makes it sound like something from the Hangover.

Does it involve a donkey and Richard Gere's hamster?

More like Russell Crowe's Fightin' Round the World from South Park.

C'mon Tugger, let's go out, get drunk, pick fights with whoever's willing, and spend the night in lockup with our good friends Nathan Carroll and Brock McLean!

Wer're in Holland! These buggers can grow up to 6 feet tall and be pretty sturdy. Hopefully we can have 'em for a few rounds! That's it get into 'em Nath! That's some good strong language from you, Brock!

As is often the case the AFL might be forced to act in response to the relentless trial by media that is here now and will continue to occur.

As we are the ones in the gun, don't be surprised if penalties are handed out. For example, having our compensatory picks for losing Scully withdrawn.

Forget Hawthorn, Collingwood, Richmond and Carlton, who have all reaped the benefit of tanking in the past 10 years or so.

I've been wrong before, but I've got a sick feeling about this one.

Carlton FC, Melbourne FC and the AFL will not want this to progress any further. I don't think other clubs will really invite the distraction either considering 'experimentation' late in the season has been practised by several clubs!!! We'll get ex-players being quoted for a week or two and then another issue will come up and the media can focus on that instead.

Brock will shut his face once his very slow brain recognises he's jepardising his upcoming contract negotiations.

Seriously though, what a f***en spanner. Finally strings together a few decent games and throws it out the window with some dumb comments.

I reckon Brock will clarify that he didn't like playing out of position and in a team that was experimenting and the AFL will accept it and move on. They look like morons if this goes further as they've already done an investigation.

The good thing is that it's in the AFL's best interest for this to go away.

I feel sorry for McLean in some way...Sheahan threw out a massive piece of bait and he swallowed it whole.

Dumbest fish in the bay.

no surprises there - dumb bogan is as dumb bogan does

kicks a game winning goal (accidentally) to earn himself 5 minutes of fame and the blood rushes to his head (mouth)

funny thing is if he hadn't kicked that goal he would have been the villain as he directly cost at least three Richmond goals that I counted

should've stuck to celebrating with a few wheelies in the car park and some obscene twitters

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
