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)

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
