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.

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
