Heat on AFL, Ben Holland, Brendan Fevola over wild behaviour

THE AFL is under pressure to ban Mad Mondays after another drunken disgrace left a footballer in trouble.

Melbourne forward Ben Holland was allegedly injured after a scuffle broke out when he tried to help teammate Nathan Carroll into a taxi...

Melbourne football manager Chris Connolly said the club had been working on policy that not only limited players' alcohol intake, but encouraged them to support those who drank too much.

"It's that very situation that might have led to (the incident)," Connolly said.

"I think Ben was trying to encourage Nathan (to go home) when he may have had too much to drink."

Connolly said the club had tried to put an end to the Mad Monday binge sessions.

"My understanding is the behaviour of all the players was outstanding except . . . for the behaviour of Nathan."

Thats all we need as a club, not :angry:

Dissapointing, very dissapointing.

Team mates stick together, they do not fight Chop. He needs to put his dead down and concentrate on football instead of always trying to be a macho man.

Hitting a teamate who is trying to do the right thing by you is very poor form.

This year started badly with alcohol related incidents and it looks like it is going to end the same way. I'm a Carroll fan, but enough is enough. The right thing to do is to delist him and pay out his contract.

swap to freo for warnock? all the bad boys go there, farmer,johnson,carr,tarrant,headland etc

Fremantle would not want Carroll. Especially since they've had him before and got rid of him.

Like I said before, I like "Disco" but he has probably stamped his own ticket.

Don't forget Martin and Rivers.

We have a surplus of key backs for the first time ever. Not a good time for a fringe key back to [censored] up. But then again, that is Carroll's style.

Carroll is a known and avoided serial social problem amongst all other AFL Clubs.

Carroll's brother played for Freo. Any hints why they avoided Nathan like the plague back then?

He had poor off field form then in WA. He is known amongst other Clubs to be someone to avoid socially.

Its does raise a question of judgement over MFC players who choose to socialise with Carroll when alcohol is involved given his habitual incidents.

You are fooling yourself if you think a Club will trade for a delinquent like that.

I know the Club is financially stretched but over the past year Carroll puts a compelling case on and off the field for an early payout of his contract.

I'm not interested in wasting money paying anyone's contract out. We've done enough of that in recent times. Find another resolution.

Carroll wouldn't be on 'Harris' money.

Considering we'll be paying well short of the salary cap next year I'm sure we could afford to pay him out.

Especially consiering a kid on $35,000 will probably take his spot.

The other resolution is keep him on the list.

Would it be a waste of money paying out a bloke DB decides he doesn't want at the club for whatever reason (ability or behaviour)?

Is there a 3 strike behaviour policy in the player's contract?

Surely if there is, he must be on very shaky ground.

I thought his brother played for WCE but i agree with you. CUT him loose. I'll try to find a loophole so we don't have to pay him out but if we can't, just DELIST.

Trent Carroll played at both Freo and West Coast. Nathan was on Freo's rookie list but was discarded and ended up at Melbourne. I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell of him coming anywhere near Freo (we just sacked Farmer, why would we pick up Carroll)

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
