He'll be lining up at full back for the Dees in round 1 next year. You heard it hear first. The club's too broke to [censored] $270K down the drain and he'll have a good NAB Cup.

no wonder we are broke paying for TJ to the lions and paying for woewodin to the filth

What sort of business gives away assets (well not in this case) and pays money too

who the hell is responsible for this hope they stilll are not around

Both were common sense trades. We needed more of them.

You're off the mark and missing the point.

He line up in the VFL. He is finished.

No, you heard it here first, Carroll will not be at Melbourne in 2009. They will not [censored] $270k down the drain. They will negotiate a much smaller payment or the matter will end in Court ( together with the resultant publicity ) with the Club arguing that he has breached his contract so significantly that it is unenforceable and at an end.

Yep. Or the VFL 2's. Unless he is sensible and deals his way out.

Ricky Nixon better make sure Carroll gets some good advice. Claremont have been speaking to him; would be wise for him to cut a deal with the MFC for a few $'s and go and play for Claremont for few more $'s.

If Carroll has any sense...and of course thats a long bow. He would deal for a payout now and walk into the PSD. That will be the ONLY way he can continue his AFL career..Someone may give him a second chance without it costing them a lot. Dont really care..as long as he's gone

I like most dees would love to see chops gone to the saints but not if it means melbourne must still pay his salary (while playing for the saints) like we did with Wowofull!

If he goes into PSD..it costs us nothing after what we agree to settle on

That'd be fine by me.

I'd rather pay the extra 50K and have a young kid running around at Casey (?) instead of Carroll.

exactly !! maybe too simple a concept for some ? :rolleyes:

Isn't the problem being if we paid him out of his contract it counts towards our 2008 salary cap and puts us over the limit?

It'll be interesting to see if he turns up to training today.

I think you're right.

The club's only option is to suspend him indefinitely with pay.

I don't think that's an issue anymore. We couldn't sack him immediately after the Holland incident because that would've counted towards 2008, but i believe that if we do it now it goes towards next year. We'll know a definitive answer by 31st October, which is the first list lodgement date.

It was interesting to read that Chopper didn't attend the B&F. Is anyone going to the training session today? it'd be nice to know if he's there or not.

I think any such action would be in the 2009 year and with AFL approval.

If He is contracted to the club for next year i would say that means he is a required player. All players were instructed to attend training this morning, By Carroll not showing up that would make it easier for the club to make that last year void i would guess. Interesting, i was sure he was going to roll up and

hoping he would have the attitude "I will show you" maybe i was dreaming.

    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.
