Brock McLean delisted

You might want to rethink those comments, if you don't know them personally.

There wouldn't be much commentary on Demonland, if we only passed comment on people we knew personally.

I agree people have a right to be angry at Brock... He's a clear [censored]

But are we here to whinge or are we here to talk footy?

Will he make our club better in 2015 - IMO yes

Is he worth picking up? I am not convinced but he would add to our depth. Question marks on his speed but another big bodied mid wouldn't hurt the Dees. And he's cheap!

Worthy of discussion i reckon - we need more experience to win more games - I think it would be a good story if he came back and succeeded

Rather than take a slow moving relic of our distant past who displayed cultural traits that our coach has said in the past are unacceptable at a professional club, I would trust our recruiters to either draft a young midfielder or take one from the list of delisted free agents or in the pre season draft and punt on the small chance that at some time in the future he might be a Sam Mitchell or a Tom Rockliff who might be around for some time in the future and be a good citizen at our club. You build your club up with people of good character and Brock's last port of destination was Carlton. 'Nuff said.

While I don't disagree with what you've said, i think its a nice theory that might not necissarily work in practice.

Are you saying you wouldn't take Dusty Martin if availible (theoretically).... And how has that theory worked for us in the last 8 or so years? Keep drafting kids with no senior leadership or support?

As i said I don't agree with the idea but in practice i think we need an antique or 2 in the side and especially someone who can win their own ball.

If no dh policy apply with Roos how do you explain the Prince's arrival??

As a DFA (not a draft pick) if a spot was available he wouldn't be the worst option, but I am no expert, any senoir body mid is worth a look at
