    Brock McLean QUITS the Dee's!

    Just broken on SEN, that Melbourne's Brock McLean & the club have agreed to seek a trade to Carlton, most likely for pick 11.

    A press release from the Demons has confirmed this BREAKING NEWS.

      Now we can hear even more about how great the Carlton midfield is.

          Won't he put a lot of grunt into an already formidable midfield?

          I'd guess that Sylvia might also be traded if a decent deal could be struck.

              I just wonder if that is curtains for Nick Stevens?

              That would be a massive blow to Melbourne if they lost both Brock & Sylvia, he really starting showing why he was a top draft pick this season.

                  Didn't see this coming at all.

                  Melbourne will be loaded up with draft picks, if pick 11 is correct.

                      Yep, so I guess us trading Andrejs Everitt for Pick 11 ain't possible now. Does anyone think we really would trade Everitt. The draft this year sucks!

                          Hasn't Stevens got another year on his contract ? They will play him on a back flank and he will be good in that role.

                          I think that Melbourne have said enough is enough and we will start form scratch.
                          If this is to be believed then they currently have picks 1, 2, 11 and 18 which is a great position in a shallow draft.

                          By the way, Ray was drafted pick 4 the same year that McLean (5) was and we got bugger all for him last year and now McLean is getting the Demons pick 11.
                          We are either not drafting well enough or not developing players correctly.

                                          Our trading history of our first round drafts picks wouldn't suggest that is much of a chance.

                                              To be fair, the first rounders we've traded have been very average.

                                              I agree that pick 11 is probably out of reach, but I could see Melbourne putting up pick 18 which is a line ball call IMO.

                                                  Maybe Carlton decided they needed a striaghtlaced influence to keep Fev in line

                                                      Rays season would suggest that he was better than average and McLean has been trade for more out of reputation than runs on the board over the last 12 months.
                                                      I suppose we did OK with the McMahon trade.

                                                          In a very good team his deficiencies have been hidden. When we applied the blowtorch on Friday night he made the same mistakes we have seen in the past.

                                                          It will be interesting to see how he goes on Saturday.
