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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
