MELBOURNEfc’s Brock McLean has been suspended from the Leadership Group indefinitely after being booked for travelling over the speed limit on his way back from Melbourne’s NAB Challenge match in Bendigo.

General Manager of Football Operations Chris Connolly said, ‘This is very disappointing for Brock.  He is a highly valued member of the Club, and his training form has been excellent in 2008. He is seen by the match committee to have outstanding leadership qualities, however this behaviour was deemed by his peers to be unacceptable.’

Brock McLean will, however, be eligible for selection for this week’s NAB Challenge match against North Melbourne at Casey Fields.

The Club will be making no further comment on this matter.
