Came off the ground limping in the fourth quarter in today's game with the Bullants. Ended up getting a ton of strapping and is on crutches at the moment.
 
"Unsure yet, hopefully it's only a couple of day thin like you said but we'll have a scan in the morning and we'll know a little bit more from that."

From a chat with Brock after the siren when asked about the ankle.

Terrible news for Brock just as he was trying to force a spot in the best 22 again with some great form for the Ants. :(

Hope it is not to bad and he recovers quickly. :thumbsu:

Fingers crossed, let's hope for the best.
Really bad news for Brock. Wonder how close he really is to forcing his way into the Carlton side?

Based on the fact Mclean has had only two games for the season, it would seem fairly apparent that the MC do not see him as part of our best 22 and he is probably only a depth player with a run of injuries to some of our midfielders giving him a chance of a recall.

Thought that was terrible considering Brock was injured as well.

The injury is irrelevant when discussing behaviour in the crowd.

Injured or not, that supporter is a disgrace.

Here's hoping the injury isn't too bad. I actually thought he was a little bit off from what I saw of him this afternoon, but there's no doubt he's been in some great form of late and has really been pushing his case for senior selection.

Agree, we don't want supporters like that. Piss off to Richmond or some other feral joint.

I believe it was one of the Sandi supporters giving him shit, as Brock used to play for them quite a bit.
 
Am not surprised either way.

While it's extremely poor form to have a guy whose just been injured I can understand that some fans would feel that he has robbed the CFC over the past couple of years and looks highly likely that he'll never contribute anything to the club.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong but just that it's somewhat understandable.
 
This is really bad news. I've been a big fan of Brock ever since he came into the AFL, and I was stoked when we were able to get him. He's not going to challenge Usain Bolt any time soon, but I love his tackling and tough in-and-under play. We can probably afford to carry three of those type of guys in the senior team at any one time. The type of guys that I am talking about are McLean, Curnow, Robinson, Ellard and Cachia. It would seem that Robinson isn't going anywhere, so I would think McLean will have to beat out one of Curnow and Ellard if he wants to break back into the senior team.
 
Could spell the end of 2011 for Brock as far as breaking into he senior team, has 1 year left on his contract and will have to have a Huge pre season and 2012 if he is to continue being a AFL Footballer beyond the next 12 months, really hope he makes it but im not holding my breath.

As for the supporter getting stuck into him, im sure Brock has player over a 100 games odd more AFL games than what that peanut would have..

Trade at all costs. Even if we get a pick in the 60's from GWS.

Or is it you who are the short sightedn know-it-all idiot?

I considered what we are paying him and what return we have on that investment.

We are seriously in the red on this deal.

Time to cut our loses and use the money for more worthy projects.

Like resigning players who are actually contributing.
