Carlton fan-favourite Dennis Armfield will run out in the navy blue next season after agreeing to a new one-year deal.

The 29-year-old will now remain at the Blues until at least the end of 2017.

Continuing his playing career, Armfield has also agreed to a part-time coaching role at the Club as a specialist skills coach for Carlton’s women’s team.

Armfield will work alongside senior women’s coach Damien Keeping and the Club’s assistant coaches in the one-day-a-week role.

Ahead of his ninth pre-season campaign, Armfield said he was thrilled to have locked in a new contract with the Blues.

“Carlton means so much to me, I’ve been here for nearly ten years and there is a really good feeling at the Club. We’re a developing side, and I am passionate about teaching our younger players and hopefully having a positive influence on them,” Armfield said.

“The body is feeling good and I still feel I have a fair bit to offer in terms of my playing career, so I am thankful the Club has given me this opportunity to go around again.

“To also explore my passion for coaching through a part-time role with our women’s team is a terrific opportunity – I think these talented female footballers have so much to offer and I can’t wait to play a small role in this exciting new competition.”

Glad Dennis is back. I love his goal celebrations

should have been delisted

adds nothing towards a premiership and take a kids spot

his field kicking is still not elite

Ouch

What's a Premiership got to do with anything?

Adds culture, experience and work ethic. A kid can take his spot through performance.

Agree and we have turned over 28 list spots in 2 years, so a one year deal for an experienced, hardened body isn't a bad move.

If we delisted him we would win the premiership

How do you define which players add to a premiership?

Does Simmo?

Not taking a Kids spot rather setting the Kids a bar for work ethic, basically a mentor role.

Any kids that are performing better than Dennis will take his spot much like this year.

He adds toward a premiership by being a mentor and coach some of our kids coming through to fast track their development

Good summary Steve - agree entirely - with very young list now a couple of older mentors with good work ethic - adds to mix - particularly where he gets one year and if he doesn't perform a young one takes his spot

Dennis is our Chris Mayne less 3 years and about 1.8 million dollars.

dennis is a good bloke but a below average player with lots of bluster

i cant see how any player on our list (bar a few) that delivered the wooden spoon in 2015 should still be at princes park...culture of mediocrity

Who are the few MF and why should they be there?
