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

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 ? :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.

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

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
