Also reported today in the Herald Sun.

Hopefully 'showing interest' doesn't eventuate to anything come 2pm today.

He could be good in the Footy Show Grand Final Players Review reprising his role as a member of The Village People.


Who are we supposedly trading for him? - Lenny Hayes?

Surely we are showing scientific interest only.

The worst defender in the league. Absolute joke of a player.

And funny looking.

I think he would he handy as a backup(at least he is familiar to Sandy). As long as we get him for nothing & Melbourne pay his contract.

Must be crap.

Why on earth would we want Carroll? Even if Goose doesn't make it back to AFL next season, Carroll would struggle to win a spot on our emergencies list.

It must be a joke.

He's not that bad of a player. He's a handy backup defender. 'Worst defender in the league' is definitely rubbish.

The problem with Carroll is that he's an bsolute headcase though with well documented issues, and his position at MFC has become untenable because of it. If I were in charge, I'd accept whatever your first pick in the 100s, with MFC to pick up the full tab for his salary.

Wrong. MFC want to get rid of him because of some off field issues. Salary cap has little if anything to do with it. He's not on that much money.

I think the plan Has to be to get Sam Fisher into the forward line next year. Another Big defender couldnt hurt.

I dont mind the Idea of an injection of agro...as long as its a one year deal.

MFC are trying to sack him and not pay the remaining year in his contract.

If 2pm comes around today and we've picked up Nathan Carroll, we will be the joke.

I know that, but a trade would save them a massive headache if it's possible.

Actually agree with that. He has some upside to him.

I've seen Carroll play a bit, living in a Melbourne supporting household. He is very very average.

If he is picked it, it will just confirm my suspicions on our recruiting philosophies that I was arguing in the Ben Cousins thread.

If we trade our 3rd round pick for Nathan Carroll, i will walk to Moorabbin or Seaford or wherever he is, and slap ross lyon.

I'd rather Jamie Shanahan made a comeback to play in our backline than that clown.

Would be a terrible, terrible trade in my opinion.

Apart from anything else he looks like a complete doofus.

But if the trade is done I will support him and hope he does well. May go alright against the third best forward after Max and Fish has the best two.

Remember the Dees defence looked terrible this year because of the way the ball came down that way all year.

Just trying to find something optimistic about this rumour :oops:

The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

You like spending time in hospital do you St.Chris?

Rossy may have a ghey walk but was one of the hardest footballers I ever saw on the field. reckon he could still aim up on some internet hero.

I'm more optimistic than you: I'm letting myself think that it's got the same level of validity as all the rumours about Daniel Kerr wanting to come east.

This is my issue - if he comes over the headband, stupid hair and facial growth must go.
