Joke of the day

turkey of the day award to him ,big joke cant kick if blues resign him look forward to wooden spoon in 08

He's only playing on one leg, and even though he's trimmed down it's always doubtful with Lance that it will stay that way. It's extremely unlikely he will be at the Blues next year... but for a big joke he certainly had the last laugh on Chopper, gave him a bath.

if he had of kicked straight he would have definitely been traded

 

ohhh big red even with all your freckles your still not ready.

Don't forget, we were desperate to get him a few years ago, which would have been a catastrophe.

Biffinator.


Depends, he may have been a great player with a different club

Yeh, I have to say, he kicked badly yesterday, but a fit Whitnall is a good footballer.

Smashed Carroll, just can't kick any more. Carrol needs to have a good hard look at himself over summer. I know people think he should be considered a 3rd defender and not the cage gorilla but he should be good enough to shade a player of Whitnalls ability and lack of pace especially when he is on one leg. Nowhere near good enough.

Yes, he did smash Carroll. But I don't think Carroll has been smashed all year by any stretch in fairness.

With the lack of midfield pressure, I think Carroll has been in our best 12 this year.

considering we have played 39 players this season and he was one of only 4 players to play 21 or 22 games...


For all his problems, Whitnall is still one of the best contested marks in the league.

I wouldn't touch Whitnall for MFC with a 40 foot barge pole if he became available but there are reasons why he has been highly rated in the past and was made Carlton's captain this year (a poor decision in hindsight, but understandable at the time).

I think we just have to accept that Carroll is a good honest trier, but he's not a star and will never be. That's not meant as a criticism but just as an honest assessment. He will look much better in a very good team and much worse in an ordinary team because of it.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
