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

Yep. Congratulations to the new administration for biting the bullet on Mr. Carroll. I doubt it would ever have happened under the previous powers that be. Also agree with your sentiments on all the other initiatives listed Roost!

 

Yeah. Best deal for all (except Chopper maybe). I have a soft spot for him, as I think many do, but what was he going to achieve at MFC other than keeping Martin, Frawley or Warnock out of a spot?

Hs papers were signed the day Bailey took the job.

 

M.Gardiner,Cousins (maybe),Carroll (maybe).... Looks like the saints discos could be up and running again!

We can only hope that a deal was struck so that we don't have to pay his full 2009 salary, which I think is $250,000. A ridiculous amount of money for a player of Carroll's quality.


It has been openly reported that Carrol's salary will be included in the 2008 Total Player Payments.

It has also been confirmed that if Carrol's entire $250,000 salary was included in the 2008 TPPs then MFC would be over the salary cap and in breach of the salary cap.

Therefore, clearly Carrol must have been paid out for much less than $250,000.

He's 28 years old and he is our 6th best key defender behind Warnock, Rivers, Martin, Garland and Frawley... I'm glad to see the back of him.

It seems we were able to do it cheaply as well

I respect Chopper as a servant to the MFC a whole lot more than CJ.

He was on the news at St. Kilda training and he actually looked like a human being. No mo and no bogun haircut.

  • 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.

  • 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.
