Just curious if Bigfooty in general is as delusional as some of these Melbourne supporters

Don't see how Carlton are related to the thread. Show me one post where I say we will be premiers. Of course I want us to be premiers, however I accept that we're a few years off. The same can't be said about Demon fans and Mclean though - he might be very good but some of you would have us think he's right up there with Judd and Brown as the best in the AFL.

Ten players over 28 / five 30+. Last chance for the Cows - don't make it this year and you'll be down for a LONG time.

McLean easily, he can't be tagged out of a game for a start.
Secondly, he's way harder at the ball and the man, he get's more possessions, more tackles and only marginally less goals than Dal Santo and when you need someone to step up Brock does it so I'd give him the win in teh leadership stakes as well.
Dal's awesome though when he has a good midfield around him taking the pressure off, and he can use his awesome skills to good effect.
Brock is three or four years years younger and performed better over 2006 than Dal Santo did so for me it's quite easily Brock McLean.
Mind you, if I had a good midfield team that were capable of getting their own ball and EVERY other consideration was taken care of EXCEPT having a classy winger then I'd take Dal because he's deadly by foot when he isnt' under pressure.

Nice comeback
No, no. I wasn't going for a comeback. You just seem to talk a lot with very little intelligence behind your statements.
That's all.

If Melbourne supporters weren't so blatantly one-eyed about McLean, the poll results could be different.
McLean is superior.
Consistent, strong and never fails you.
Brock is better than Dal just the same way Luke Ball is better than Dal.

Dal for that position?
If anyone, Wells.
But yes, you'd take Brock because he doesnt rely on anyone.

Daniel Wells over Nick Dal Santo???
http://www.pro-stats.com.au/psw/web/compare_players?tid1=110&pid1=2003038&tid2=113&pid2=2002118
Stats don't lie - Dal Santo has him beat in just about every category. You do realize that Wells only had seven 20+ disposal games this season? An absolute joke to compare him to Dal Santo at this point in their careers.
Depends what you want in a midfielder.
Dal Santo is deadly by foot, very clean hands and very good awareness. Can hit a forward on the chest 50 meters away. A downhill skier but a very good one. Isn't that good close in, not great awareness close in. Tackle doesn't hurt the opposition.
McLean does the other stuff, tackling, pressure on the ball carrier, clearances,
but isn't as good kick and isn't as good a handballer (IMO). A burrower but a very good one. Not that fast, not as good in awareness of play further ahead as Dal Santo, but good awareness close in, like in the ability to handball off to free up a player.
I'd have both at Richmond in a heartbeat. If I had to decide, I'd choose McLean only because he is younger and Richmond needs tough inside players. But Dal Santo would work wonders as well. Richo would get decent delivery for once. With Dal Santo, our forwards would be served the footy on a silver platter.
