Mclean is slated to be Melbourne captain.
Bailey would be hung drawn and quarterd if he let McLean go.

Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Agreed, you don't give up the type of player who wins hardball, is damaging when he uses it and can turn the tide in a game, especially when he's a young bloke that'll be the future of a ageing side.joffaboy wrote:Mclean is slated to be Melbourne captain.

We already lack midfielders....and in particular pacey mids such as Joey.fonz_#15 wrote:why not?roo+hayes=flag wrote:Can't get rid of Joey.
Joey really stepped up in 2007 to become a consistently good player for us.......so swapping him for another mid would be pointless......unless it wasa straight swap for Judd....but even then you would have to consider the destructive consequences of swapping a core player.

Montagna was our 3rd best player in 2007.
It's like robbing Pete to pay Paul ... you lose a hard-running, ball-winning midfielder - for another hard-running, ball-winning midfielder ... and a draft pick!
We lack midfielders most ... although if you believe some fool of a journo in the HS this morning, our priority are key forwards to replace Gehrig.

They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.

i agree that joey is important and should not be traded, i just prefer that posters add some substance to their posts when claiming something. just saying "cant get rid of joey" without justification of why he should not be traded annoys me..
he will be crucial to our midfiels in the future which will look very promising with dal, a fully fit lenny, a fully fit ball, harvs (to an extent, where expectation should be low) and of course dal.
Robert Harvey- Simply the best

Everyone is wetting their dacks over our pick 9, and funnily it hasn't been raised in this thread to used to get Brock McLean.
Why?
He was pick 5 in the 2003 draft.
His form in 05 and 06 had been outstanding. Remember he was tuouted as being Melbourne's skipper until he broke his foot against us in R1.
For good reason.
Tough, runs in straight lines, kicks goals, runs hard and gets plenty of the ball. He plays an on-baller style game of a mature, hard bodied, hard nosed veteran - yet is only 21!
But I get the feeling people wouldn't trade our precious pick 9 for a pick 5 that's still only 21 and has been in the system for 4 years??
Amazing.

McLean is simply devastating on his day - one of the hardest, toughest and courageous players in the competition and as well as that looks very polished (at times) with his disposal when running with it. Pick 9 isn't enough for McLean.
The Saints are coming!

Rodger, I don't often agree with your sentiments but on this one, IMHO, you are 100% spot on. If that trade came up I wouldn't waste a nanosecond in deciding to accept it.rodgerfox wrote:Everyone is wetting their dacks over our pick 9, and funnily it hasn't been raised in this thread to used to get Brock McLean.

The only problem I can see is that Melbourne would have to be nuts to even contemplate it.
