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?

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.

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.

If McLean departing enables us to catch the big fish, then I'm all for it.

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

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    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.
