Would we have the cap room to afford someone like that and still be safe if a couple of players really improve in the next 2 years and look for bigger contracts? paying dawes and co decent money would leave a dent

Guess it's the way footy is these days- many players value money over loyalty and it's that shift in thinking which can enable us to buy in talent and improve, conversely we can lose talent this way too, but I guess you have to have that talent before worrying about losing it (lucky for us we don't)

swings and roundabouts, you win some you lose some. Cross your fingers we are in such a predicament in the future as it means we are going places and just hope that the players can sniff a flag and want to hang around at reduced market salaries

    We'll have the coin, Flash's contract is nearly up.

    Sylvia would want to have a good year or he'll take a cut.

    Neeld will cut lads to squeeze a player of Thomas quality in and more importantly,

    he fits the right age bracket and would add a lot to the side.

    I think we could definitely afford a big offer for a Thomas type player

    and I doubt Daisy would go interstate - as he is a Drouin lad and gets back there quite a bit.

    Sylvias a UFA this year. we will lose him, im sure of that. This season will determine if that is a loss to us or not

    Just Like Cloke hope we will make a big offer

    till he signs this will go on all year , and we better get used to it with free agency as it will not stop

    He'll stay - make a decision by mid year when he has a few games under his belt

    He said he didn't want it to drag on like the cloke case

    Chip Frawley is a RFA this year. The most important issue for the club would be to sure up his signature. It will cost the club, but it needs to happen before a Hawthorn or Saints (rumoured to be interested) Jump in. IMO Chip deserves more than Dawes, and a longer contract. No point signing him for 2 years for UFA!!

    rubbish!

    I'd have Flower, Neitz, Schwartz, Lyon, Jakovich, et al ahead of him day in day out. not to mention champs from days before yore.

    IF Col finally shows his very best throughout a season, we will also have a great season and he may want to stay with a club that is on the rise.

    IF he doesn't, then it will probably be best for all if we were to part ways; pity about the lack of recompense though.

    He'll stay - make a decision by mid year when he has a few games under his belt

    Maybe he, like it is rumoured quite a few others, can't stand the thought of playing under Buckley :-)))

    Thanks dee-luded: Thats one problem with the "quote reply": doesn't necessarily translate to the original thread.

    We are singing from the same sheet.

    Chip comes out of contract at the end of 2014.

    If those guys were as good as Buddy Franklin we would all be premiership supporters, Franklins a match winner and an A grade champion of the AFL, the type of player our club could only dream about.

    Produces? Bit of a problem there. You said the last 150 years. Names already suggested above anyway. Add Ronald Dale to that list ...

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
