Given that the manager of list management said that it was "dissapointing" to lose Mclean, and was evidently in the process of trying to re-sign him, it would seem evident that we, the MFC, were trying to keep him.
When he made the decision, we then had to get the best we could.
Interesting that in a market where relatively few players are traded, so many are ending up at Carlton...
I'm not saying we would have flat out rejected a trade but I don't think we were looking for one. Brock probably didn't like that we're offering only two year contracts.
