Brock McLean delisted

I always thought this guy would play 250 games for us and lead us to a premiership. In 2006 after that final I thought he was destined to become a star for us.

He has now been delisted on 157 games.

Take away the Tanking drama its been a massive fall from grace for McLean.

 

Something I agree with Dazzle man. However, I'll never forget the pivotal semi final vs St Up themselves and Brock Mc Lean played a magnificent,gutsy spirited game!

You have to think with his lack of speed that it's all over!

 

Blind Freddy could see this spud would be delisted

Sorry, I can't take away the tanking drama. He may well have been the pawn of those who had political aims against individuals on the board or the board itself or he may not. Whatever the case, the effect of his stupidity caused untold damage to the club and I for one, would not like to see him near the place again.


Still cant believe they traded us pick 11 for him

Also cant believe we used it on jordy gysberts

Also cant believe he was so bad

 

He's training to be an investment adviser/ stockbroker - you can but your super in his capable hands.

Good choice of career, a prerequisite is you have to be a bit of a [censored]

His 2006 season was every bit as good for a young player as what Tyson did this year. BOG in our most recent finals win! I really thought he was going to reach the level Nathan Jones has. In the end he injuries and lack of pace caught up with him.

Unpopular opinion, I think he would improve our side and I'd take him back for free but I realise this probably won't happen.


Not the smartest guy around and I doubt there would be too many Dee supporters who would feel the slight sadness for him after his performance OTC.

Get stuffed Brock.

Brock who?

Brock who?

I think they're talking about the toothpaste

Recruited 2003 as pick 5 in a weak draft. The visions were the McLean would a solid central staple in the midfield along with Bell Moloney Sylvia.

However the game changed around 2005 and the game got progressively quicker and slower midfielders that did not hurt the opposition by hand or foot were exposed. Together with some off field escapades the aspirational vision for Brock evaporated.

We did well to get pick 11 for him off Carlton. It's a pity we stuffed it up on Gysberts. Did little to suggest MFC made a mistake in clearing him to Carlton.

A mid-skilled one paced midfielder who last 11 season in the AFL for moderate success. Can't see him with another AFL gig.


I have nothing but respect for Brock McLean now the dust has settled. We all followed blindly when we shouldn't have, and he stood up for himself.

Brock McLean isn't to blame for the tanking sanctions, the halfwits in charge at the time are.

Exactly people berate Mclean because he stood up for what he thought wasn't right for this footy club and at the end of the day he is right. That tanking saga ran by two of the biggest [censored] strainers in the MFC in Connelly and Schwab set this club back a further 6 years.

Brock even mentioned that he felt for Dean Bailey because this was coming from the likes of Stynes, Connelly and Schwab who instigated all this and Bailey had no choice but to go by their orders.

Lets not forget he also donated $10,000 towards out of his own pocket money to help this club.

I believe such a situation in the American military is called a "Cluster .uck". The yanks can provide useful additives to our language on (rare) occasions.

Couldn't happen to a better bloke. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, Brock.

As a fine, for being a complete dick. At least get it right if you are going to deify someone.

i thought he donated $10 Grand to the Foundation Heroes out of his own pocket?

I think Brock was probably right about all the things the club was doing wrong. Unfortunately it ended up hurting us a lot more than it hurt him to let everyone know that.

If things had gone better, I'm sure he would still be around at Melbourne.

Still the inspiration for my username as well, for what it's worth. Never got around to changing it after he left.

10K to Debt Demolition.

And you're having a go at others for not knowing what they're talking about...

WTF!

Do your research first before looking like an absolute [censored].

He donated towards the debt demolition to try and help this club clear its debt. He was the only player that stood up that night and said he was willing to dig into his pocket and donate to our frail club. It was a terrific show of leadership and he will always be part of the MFC in helping this club get rid of the debt.

He is understood to have been hurt and disappointed recently when asked to take a pay cut after spending $15,000 at a Demons auction night and, last year, donating $10,000 to the club's Debt Demolition program.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
