Just read that tasman guy who does the big training reports on bigfooty mentioned that apparently we could be seriously looking at Brock McLean as a possible rookie selection.

Why would he want to join a club that tanked?

There are some things in life that I can believe.

This is not one of them.

 

Take him. Proven midfielder, gives his all and at worst would be a depth player for 2 years. Like it or not he would be in our best 22


Its Dec 1 not April 1

I see this as a direct replacement for Trengove who will head straight to the long term injury list.

Im definitely not against the idea of him back at the club. We still need another mature head to help ease and guide these young kids who have just come in.

 

What was his form like in 2014?

Saw very few Carlscum games. I have better things to do

He joined Calrton, didn't he?


He joined Calrton, didn't he?

Think that was the point of the post :)

I'd take him. Useful midfield depth when we've got injuries or need to give the kids a rest.

Used to be my favourite player.

Tanking aside I reckon he loves the club. Wasn't he the only player to donate to the club from his own pocket.

If he was in the side, he would be taking the place of others I would prefer to be playing. We drafted Cross and Vince to help out Jones as the seniors in the midfield - I don't think we need another.

past history aside, i can't see any point in it

and anyway didn't he just hate the trip to casey fields

Except that the "Donation" was actually a penalty for doing burnouts after training in the car park.


I used to love Brock when he played for us......I think he has slowed down a lot (not that he was ever fast)....I think others have past him by and I think this would be a backward step.........I think the same for Sylvia as well.....

its a nice romantic thought but then you remember the On The Ouch interview and the [censored] he dropped us in

But maybe we should be thanking him because without that interview we may have never got rid of Schwab and co..

I'd be furious, for non-football reasons.


I don't think he'd be able to get a game ahead of our kids, really [censored] him

It would have been much more difficult.

What Brock said on the couch was correct.

Whether he should have said it is another issue.

But it was a "No pain No gain" scenario

Somebody had to talk....

 

He couldn't hack the drive to Casey five years ago - the trip won't be any easier next year.

Maybe he's moved into the area.

If Brock were to come back to the club it would be more about getting experience at Casey which is badly needed. I couldn't really see him pushing for senior selection now.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
