I have a good family friend who is on the Richmonds top caterie (if thats how you spell) group. He sits in on team meetings about the club, potential off-season moves, and contract decisions. He says Richmond are extremely keen on getting Mclean to the club, and they believe he wants to go there.

This came as a shock to me because I believed Brock loved our club to much, and I still think he does love us, and is grateful for his oppurtunities. However according to this family friend Brock has said a few times to his family that he would like to play for Richmond, being that his family ties are there with his uncle.

I am not 100% on this and while it may never ever happen, as I assume it won't, I will still prop up when I hear such an in formed Richmond man say the Tigers have been considering him since about round 12 this year.

I don't know if I would like the idea of Mclean being out of our club, but if we could somehow get draft pick number 2 for him, I would be very happy.

    sounds like [censored] to me...but all stress and worry can be removed with the answer of one simple question...

    is he contracted for 2008?

    Is it just me or is there more rumours this year than ever?

    AFL club board members sure get around.

    Id assume he is but that won't really make a difference. If he would happy to go like ive been told, and we want Judd, then it would all happen no worries.

    Hmm, Demons 32 I've been reading a few of your posts over the last day or so, esp. regarding the C. Judd issue. You're truly an optimist aren't you! Lol. Anyway, let's hope you're wrong about McLean in this case...

    I've never heard of a coterie member being on the board, and sitting in on match committee meetings, and having a say in trades.

    Short of the president, I'm not sure who would be involved in all of these, and presidents arent members of coterie...

    This is one guy who does sit in on meetings. Not just some mate, he is a family friend.

    The way im looking at it is that the Tigers want him, and they ASSUME Brock will want to come back to his club with family ties.

    However what they assume is most likely not true and Brock wants to stay, in my opinion.

    are u crazy. cmon guys its brock mclean. he is our next captain for sure. While last season wasnt as good as the one before, he did have a few niggling injuries. If we trade Mclean, we are losing a young, hard as nails leader...take the risk of replacing him with a pick 2. the chances are that he wont be as good as him..especially in a weak draft.

    You would think number 2 would be passed on to get Judd anyway. No offence to Mclean but I know who I would rather.

    McLean wasn't so brilliant after all.

    It's not just about being brilliant. I think Brock plays for the jumper not for celebrity status like some players. He's had a bad year. But so did the MFC.

    He's contracted, and is in line for the captaincy.

    If it looks like [censored] and smells like [censored], it probably is [censored].

    McLean is an extremely loyal guy. He ain't going anywhere.

    Judd + McLean + Jones = World Domination :D

    McLean has stated, in print, that he will never leave the MFC, and plans on being its captain

    I'd settle for AFL Domination but the more the better!

    PS. See Stewie on the Emmy's last night??? :lol:

    Well im not making up what this person has said. Never claimed he was 100% right though. I don't think Mclean wants to go. I do think Richmond want him.

    But what you have said has pricked me to say, he is not in line for captaincy right now. He won't be captain next year. And contract doesn't matter if he agrees. I do not think we will let him go but if he agreed then contract doesn't mean sh*t.

    If McLean wanted out, there will be 15 clubs making enquiries.

    He will be in line for the captaincy, if not next year, then certainly the year after.

    Richmond are desperate to get some quality onto their list. They should realise though that they haven't got anything we want.

    Besides, I can't see us talking to anyone but Judd right now. He is priority number 1, 2 and 3.

    Lucky I didn't stand in it :blink:

    I can't see him going anywhere, it just doesn't seem like the type of person to leave a job unfinished.

    Hardly a weak draft mate...kreuzer,Cotchin, Palmer, Ebert, Selwood, Rioli

    do your research

    Consider the fact that Uncle Ricky played 39 games for Richmond and 19 for Carlton but that Grandpa Rod played 119 for Carlton.

    I'd say the family ties rest with Carlton but having said that he's also more likely to finish at Essendon being an old Aberfeldie boy.

    The top 10-12 players in this draft are as strong as any in previous seasons.

    it is past pick 20 that it becomes a little shalow and more of guesswork

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
