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...

With regards to the hands in the back rule: which we all hate

Brock said "I does not confuse me, just the intepretation"

Well said

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!!!!!

Straight from the collingwood forums:

Subject: emcguire - go sign up Brock Mclean

IMHO, he will be AFL MVP several times before his career finishes."

:rolleyes:

Anyone got a link to that thread?

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.

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

And I would say the same thing as well. Dont tell me I havent been here long enough I have clearly being a supporter simply because I am older and its got nothing to do with it so dont start that.

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...

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
