Damn, this got my hopes up.

Looks like we are stuck with him.

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

paying for TJ to the lions and paying for woewodin to the filth

If it got the deal done, i would do it a hundred times.

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.

They'll probably pick him up from the preseason draft.

and another Rookie gets his chance :D

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!

Better he clogs up someone elses list rather than ours.. We're going to pay something anyways.

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

but not if it means melbourne must still pay his salary (while playing for the saints)

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 ?

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.

Carroll Does not turn up to training

Carroll Does not turn up to training

Aren't these ^ grounds for instant dismissal without pay, them being compulsory to attend?

If not, they should be.

Would the training issue be more to do with the club asking him not to attend?

Could be..did they request for him not to attend?

Unsure, Dean Bailey never calls me anymore

Carroll Does not turn up to training

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.
