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.

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.

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...

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

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
