CARROLL DELISTED

Nathan Carroll is now gone, but let's remember he was a good key back for us for a period of time, when there was no one else.

I'm glad the matter has been resolved, but let's not all bag him. He got the best contract he could, who wouldnt.

Good luck to him and thanks for the service.

He will be remembered for that terrific tackle on Fraser Gehrig in the elimination final of 2006.

We mustn't have had to pay him that much if it was included in our 2008 TPP?

Perfect result for the MFC.

Seconded.

He was, for me at least, slightly maligned as a player (bearing in mind the irrefutable relationship between midfield performance and backline performance, and how dire our midfield has been post-2006), but off the field he was, as Rhino loves to put it, a cancer, and for that reason I doubt anyone will be upset to see the back of him.

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought...

Seconded.

I agree on both points.

As the title says - just announced on SEN

Heard it myself. Said he has sworn off drinking during the season.

It says we reached a settlement, so at least we're not paying his contract out in full.

Even if we save $20 its a good outcome.

Hopefully we saved enough to pay a rookie for his first year, that would be awesome

Depends how much we had to pay out. We will probably never know. But definitely the right move to get rid of him. Actually I still believe that if he breached the terms of his contract we should not have to pay him at all, but I gather the AFLPA and his manager would never allow that to happen. Maybe the lawyers on this site can clarify this aspect for us. I know it has been discussed before, but I'm still foggy on this one.

Maybe..maybe not.

We may be ending with a bigger cost if legal fees are involved just from our side.

Its a good outcome and good riddance.

Yeah, I considered that but kept it to myself...

Carroll is set to start training with the Saints on Monday in the hope of being recruited in the coming national draft.

Is there any significance in the fact that he starts training with the Saints on the same day that they start demolishing the main grandstand at Moorabbin Oval?

No, the article says it will be included in next year's salary cap.

Good news and good riddance.

I think that on the field he was an ordinary player who tried really hard, but he has far too many issues off the field that make him, IMHO, unfit to play AFL.

Another good decision by the new look MFC.

Good decisions so far(for those who still think nothing's changed)

1. Debt Demolition

2. Casey and the Fine tuning of Casey arrangemnent

3. Bubbledome on the way out

4. MFC - MCC relationship

5. Staff appointments

6. Delisting older players, focus on a youth led recovery

7. Honesty - that's right - we won't play finals next year - it's honest and it doesn't mean we're aiming for mediocrity as some seem to think

8. Demon Summit

9. The Demon and it's relevance

10. Carroll delisted

11. Brock made captain (well I hope so)

Who ever say's they haven't been busy is not looking

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
