The 1968 Premiership team will have some parallels with Judd's first Carlton premiership team.
May Peter McLean rest in peace.
RESPECT.

I was saddened to read if the passing of Peter McLean, a member of our '68 premeiership team. Peter, a member of the Demons '64 flag side, was brought across to add stability to our back line by Ron Barassi. He served the Blues manfully and was rewarded with a place in our mighty '68 premiership team. Peter also served the Blues off field and IIRC was Chairman of Selectors. While admittedly from the outside looking in , Peter came across as a thorough gentleman. Sad loss. |

Was Jon Anderson's Trivia Question on 3AW this morning - yes vale Peter McLean - who I think is a great uncle of current Melbourne player Brock McLean. The 1968 Premiership Side - sometimes does not get the credit it deserves - as it always pales in comparison to our 1970 triumph - but this was a gutsy side - only premiership side in history to have scored less goals than the losing side. |

Actually I think Ricky McLean might be Brock's uncle. Peter McLean was a solid half back. Think he cam on early in the third qtr in 68 replacing Kevin Hall. Not many players get to play in two flag sides, and certainly made a good contribution in 68 |
