Before I go off my nut about this.

Brock can play seriously good VFL football. Has struggled with the pace of AFL at Carlton, maybe it was Carltons game plan that made him look average.

I wouldn't be against McLean on our list, but would this that his currency has halved in the last year. Can't see Carlton trading him for nix as he's contracted, I hope we don't pay overs..

i just slapped my own face for fear of agreeing with popey :o, mclean has been a fish out of water the minute he walsked into carlton, 2 years ago he was all the rage as an absolute clearance machine, B&F winner 2008. injuries have plagued him, at 25 if we were to get him for nicks Id be all for it, particularly if it meant we could offload jackson and change the midfield mix around

I'd give him a crack if he was cheap.

Better than Jackson, probably better than Tuck when he is fit as well.

as my golfing partner always says, if it aint working FIX IT...we won 8 games not 18, a few fellas need to be given the arse and change things if we could get Mclean for a R4 selection and he got fit and I mean FIT...then sheesh that would change our setup some :shh

He's an upgrade on Tuck & Jackson.
For the right price I'd do it.

He is an upgrade on sweet FA, wakeup to yourselves if you are calling for him to come to the club...

Fair dinkum, he is not the way forward and is of no use what so ever to our club.

Hmm, he's not a world beater, but averaging 30 possessions and 7 tackles in the VFL is nothing to yawn at. He'd be an upgrade on half our list. Our bottom half of our list is poo.

Please no. Carlton would be over the moon to get rid of him and Grigg. I don't want either

A lot of players are champs in the VFL...

Agree, our bottom half is poo, lets not fill the bowl up with more..

Not every short term trade or draft will work as perfectly as the Stewie Dew trade did especially on the biggest stage of all.

I agree with a few of the earlier posts, for the right price I'd take a punt. Don't know what that price is however.

If we can get him for free, ie. Carlton pays his wage, he doesn't cost us a pick, he doesn't take up a spot on the list, he plays at Coburg and I can throw fruit at him, I'm all for it.

Can't see how we can get him off Carlton and not cost us a spot on our list.

I don't think we need him anyways.

The OX said ages ago on SEN that his knees were shot.  If we take him and I really hope we don't then I hope its a late pre season draft pick or a rookie spot.  He is gone.

BROCK McLean is in football's no-man's-land, unloved at Carlton and scaring off rival suitors because of his $400,000-a-season contract.

The Blues have had no genuine trade inquiries for McLean, 25, who several years ago was considered one of the brightest midfield prospects.

Opposition clubs who might have taken a punt on McLean will not go near him because his contract prices him out of the market.

And Carlton seems unlikely to work on a deal that would see it pay some of his contract while he played at another club.

Let his price screw the Cheats and their salary cap. I wouldn't touch him and hope no other club does either. Would love to see that miserable cheating organisation fail in everything they do.
