ah huh...agree.... u wont make any friends by posting this, but it is quite... true...

tho he was one of our best today, and good to see he is back playin good footy

the people i sat next too also agreed, but its not about saying im right and someone else is wrong, it is purely my opinion, its also not about making or not making friends, its about what the MFC club means to me and all of its members. in any aspect of life you have to reflect on your actions and be able to aceept feedback. we all want success for this club. Brock did play well today but i thought he could of done some things differentally. ND said he gave Robbo a dreessing down during the week, look how he responded.

Brock is a star. I love watching him play, especially alongside Jones.

He had a good game today, and was unlucky with that free for throwing the ball down, and then the 50 for arguing. He lead well as always. When we were 3 points up, being over-run, it was Brock who lifted and had a big last quarter and was directing our players around the ground.

We've got some great young talent for the future.

Brock and Jones in midfield. Bate and Sylvia across half forward. Bell and Petterd across half back.

What we need now is to fill the 2 last lines with the KPP...

He is a star.

Pure and simply the best leader, hardest worker and toughest footballer we have at this club.

He leads by example and he MUST be our next captain.

His workrate today was something to marvel at. He was making 50m leads every time, when everyone else stood still.

Brocky, you are a pleasure to watch in the red & blue and you make me so happy to be a Melbourne supporter!

Love Brocky as much as anyone but I think you are being a bit harsh on other players saying he was the only one making leads when everyone else stood still. Wheats, Sylvia, PJ and even an injured Neita ran hard towards the end to present. And don't underestimate Brad Green's tackle on "neon leon" in the last qtr or his great pack mark! A really great team effort!!!!!

Was the tanty directed at Holland thats what I want to know. I think it was and I find it disappointing

Get over it!

The 'tanty', was in fact a show of frustration because he didn't mark it and the ball bounced out after all of his hard work to present and chase.

He got annoyed because he cares, and it kills him when he doesn't win a contest, or a possession. It's called being a winner.

Dont touch the moderators favourite player apparently

This has nothing to do with me being a moderator, or whether I like Brock McLean.

You really haven't been here long enough to judge my comments.

If Bruce, Ward, Jones, Godfrey or whoever did what Brock did, I would say the same thing.

Showing passion is not a crime, and in fact sometimes we really lack that at Melbourne.

I wish we had more players who hated losing as much as this guy does.

Yup spot on, I have my eyes purely set on Brock sometimes and not on the paly just because it's fasinating to watch him go about it. And he really shows some fire or passion when somebody stuffs up, including himself. Just have a look at the way he punches the ground after he missed that goal on the run, he bleeds for this club, seriously...

At least "the moderators" favorite player is her favorite player because of his skill level and not how hawt he is. :rolleyes:

Getting a little bit narky isn't it... ;)

I like it when when a team leader gives it to another senior player for dropping below the standard expected. Would have been different it he had a go at Petterd or Frawley but it wasn't. Good to see he put his hand up for the undisciplined 50 as well. Shows he can take responsibility as well as demand it.

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
