I think it's a bloody stupid thing to do, joke or not anyone can see it. If it was just between mates then fine, but poor form in a public space.

I agree - it's not a non-issue - that (^&* should pull his head in after the tanking issue he raised.

    Poor Brock. He is just the dumbest kid in the class trying to get his mates to like him. The more he tries the further they and everyone else steps away. This new era of social media is challenging for the I.Q deficient. So give the poor dumb bastard a break will ya.

    I am glad the club has come out and tried to quash this tweet, regardless of its veracity or otherwise. The free agency/trade period will certainly be interesting, but you can't help but worry about the rumblings that are currently on the rumour mill. Riv is gone, some say, with others to follow. I trust the club is clear in its vision and strategy in terms of moulding a list that it wants.

    Once the dust from the meat market settles, I hope we hear an equivocal and positive statement from the club, in particular the coach, about the direction we are heading in.

    Brock is the one out of contract....

    It's a nothing story.

    As far as I can tell Brock loves attention and making negative comments against the MFC is a sure-fire way of getting that.

    The best response is to just ignore it.

    How this makes him stupid, or even rates a mention, is beyond me.

    For all i'm aware it's a guy having a joke with a mate at the expense of an overly-sensitive supporter base that takes things far too seriously, especially those who follow players' every move on twitter. So far, he seems to have been successful.

    There is nothing wrong with saying it is stupid and thinking that MM might not look too kindly on it.

    Well there better not be because I tweeted back and 'replied' to MM as well that it probably would be frowned upon by his new coach...

    Jon Ralph just shut this down even more on SEN, he followed up with Col Sylvias people after this tweet and was told that Col is extremely happy at Melbourne.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
