Dylan Howard has reportedly discovered, through his association with Dr. Heinz Deissler, that Brock McLean actually sustained a career-threatening injury (fracture scaphoid) in the dust-up at Munich.

This is the same injury that ended Gerard Healy's career.

Advice from those medicos that assessed Steve Johnson's ankles, apparently advised "just bathe it in the Rhine, and start some strength work on it".

just wat i got from ology!

jeez plz i hope this isn't true!!

Yeh its true. True tragedy. Here is a little story following that.

Brock Mclean, Vin Diesel and Arnold Schwarzenegger have all died and are in Heaven. Each of them hope to occupy the seat next to God. God asks Vin Diesel why he thinks he should have the seat and Vin replies, "I believe... I should have the seat because of the virtuosity in my toughness and pride." Arnie says, "I believe... that I should be the one sitting next to you because of all my achievements." God then turns to Brock Mclean, who replies with, "I believe... you are sitting in my seat."

It's not true. The person who posted this on 'ology was quite obviously taking the wee. A few on there took the bait too.

People never cease to amaze me with their extreme gullibility.

Well thats a relief. I was looking at the team stats for 2006 and Brock was in nearly every top 5; hard ball gets, contested possisons, tackles, un-contested possesions and many others. He acheived this while only averaging 84mins per game now this is amazing. If Brock can regain this form I think he may disprove some of the doubts displayed on this site.

Lets not turn this into a Brock debate again.

A fractured scaphoid is no big injury anyway. Generally if it's identified straight away they heal. Unlike mine that was not identified quickly enough and never healed correctly and I feel no pain or have any limited movement.

Dare I ask where the 'scaphoid' can be found on the body?

In the wrist. It has a vein that runs through it and when it fractures there is a potential for one end of the bone not to get any blood. It doesn't show up in x-rays until a week after so it's sometimes missed and a bone graft is needed to heal the fracture and supply blood to the other end. It has the potential to put a player out for a while with bone grafts but rarely would it be career ending.

Just a little story....

I broke my scaphoid in 3 places during this season.... It was Rnd 7 and I did it in the 2nd Qtr after I spoilt the ball from HB and then the CHF fell on top of me.... I lost all movement in my wrist within 1 minute.... I then played the rest of the match (in unbelievable pain) in the ruck and had no use of my right hand.... Tapping with the left for a right handed bloke is more difficult than it sounds....

After the match, one of the opposition players came up and went to shake my hand.... Not thinking, I offered mine and the pain I felt was nothing short of krazy! I went straight to hospital after the match and it showed up straight away on X-Rays.... Full cast for 6 weeks.... Then bone grafts from my hip when it didn't heal.... Full cast for another 6 weeks.... Physio twice a week since....

I have retired.... At the ripe old age of 29.... I have been told that I can play next season as long as I wear a protective wrist guard....

I am glad the Brock story is false....

Can be a nasty little injury! Tiny bone... but apparently one of the more difficult ones to seriously break!

I guess I was just lucky! :(

I broke mine spoiling the ball on a thurs training, played the sat, in pain but played one of my better games, copped a hit to the kidneys, was pissing blood so went to the hospital where they x rayed my wrist (was still bandaged from the game) was in a cast for 6 weeks, 3 weeks after that i re broke it but they said i had just hurt tendons, 3 months later i had a pin inserted in there, its healed ok, i have lost movement in my wrist and retired at the ripe age of 23 :(

    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
