Damn, this got my hopes up.

    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.

    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

  • Quote

    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!

  • Quote

    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

    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.

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

    If not, they should be.

  • Quote

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
