SEN Brock Mclean to Blues for pick 11

saintsRrising · Wed 23 Sep 2009 8:37pm

Evidently first trade done according SEN.

Press Release from the Dees.

Goose is king · Wed 23 Sep 2009 8:38pm

Didn't he give the club $10,000 of his own this year? maybe last year?

Though business if this is true.

wow surprising. Would've though the dees were keen to keep a player of his quality.

saintsRrising · Wed 23 Sep 2009 8:41pm

Gives the Dees picks 1, 2 and 11 now.

Fair pick up for Blues. They need vertabrae.

Typical player not keen to put in the hard yards to achieve success at the one club

Soft decision from Brock. Future captains of clubs do not leave regardless of the situation. Everyone wants success and it is a tad obvious that without anything resembling a backline Carlton will not achieve greatness any time soon

Do you actually know that Brock wanted to be traded?

I just didn't know he wanted to be traded...

The have been cases in the past that players have been offered up for trade and never wanted to go...

Farren Ray...

Milne was offered for trade not long ago...

Of course players can be traded if they don't want to go

The Press Release states that Brock asked to be traded.

Joining the dots...the Blues were obviously into him....more under the table cash if you ask me. Here comes another Sustainability Ambassador.

Why wouldn't he want to go?

Probably going to get Nick Stevens money and wont need to wait 5 years for finals.

Another article Carltons fab four perhaps?

desertsaint · Wed 23 Sep 2009 8:55pm

requested to be traded
afl.com.au
probably will be too old by the time the dees become a contender - they've got a few more years of 'developing' in them.

Our Club wanted to trade Milne not long ago, did he want to be traded??

Melbourne football club press release

It says that he has asked to be traded etc. If the dees did not want him they would have stated an amicable parting of ways

Really soft from an apparent hardnut. Questions have to asked now of the Melbourne Football Department as to how a man seemingly the young face of the club walks out.

Okay I didn't know the Brock requested to be traded..

No need to be a smart ar$e about it...

Yes Milne still plays for the Saints FFS

It just that sometimes players get traded without them wanting to leave..

Farren Ray is just one example and Milne was on offer

I didnt know that he had agreed but my point is if a player is leaving even before trade week even starts that it would be pretty obvious that he is agreeing to it. A player can never go to another club if though dont want to. they usually agree but it is always up to the player.

He's overrated anyway...good to see the Blues not putting much thought into their recruiting....

I thought they lacked up Forward and down Back but maybe Wallace spooked them when he said the Carlton midfield were downhill skiers....

maybe they want him to replace Hadlee ,who ,it was rumoured,is heading back to Brisbane,if a deal gets done with carlscum....

Sainterman · Post: # 830524Post **Sainterman** » Wed 23 Sep 2009 9:24pm

I actually find this all a little odd...have we ever had a player traded before the trade period even begins? Wouldn't Melbourne at least sit down with the other clubs and see what else might have been on offer? What if a club further down the ladder was happy to offer more...

Strange if you ask me, and then to release the statement prior to trade week?

Maybe it is just me, but seems odd. Funny how it always involves Carlscum.

Schneider never wanted to be traded and he was, so you never have to want to go to a new home

This must mean that Hadley really is on the move, he may not get a gig with Brock in the line up, i wouldnt mind Hadley...

And again, their backline is the worst so why they arent stocking up there they are idiots

3rd generation saint · Wed 23 Sep 2009 9:26pm

I thought trades we're restricted to trade week, or have Carlton broken (bent) the rules again.

Schneider never wanted to go but had to agree to it which he did. No club can trade players without them agreeing.

They are but you can organise them anytime you like after the season.
