Just read an article on the AFL app listing Chip as unrestricted... This really doesn't help us retaining him.

    Has something suddenly changed today?? Wasn't he always going to be UFA? Hasn't there been a thread on him already? (I will unreservedly apologise and withdraw this post if that is untrue)

    Do we still get compensation?

    If he is unrestricted we still get compo but he can walk without us being able to match the offer.

    What? He is not in our top 25% player salaries?

    I just noticed Dunn is also an UFA. One of our best this pre season due to have a breakout year is an UFA. Just our luck...

    His contract was apparently very front loaded and when you factor in the sort of money Dawes, Clark, Watts, Grimes Jones and Howe are on it's not all that surprising, nomatter what he does at the end of 2014 i imagine he will be earning at least twice as much

    Its not Chip I am worried about as we ll get nice compo for him. I am concerned more about Dunn who is in career best form and may leave for a lesser amount then Frawley.

    I reckon Dunn will stick around, mostly because i can't see any other team being that interested

    I wouldn't like to lose Dunn but i don't concern myself about players leaving after Scully what's the point, if Frawley goes and that non playing FF Clarks contract is front loaded we should have a massive amount of money to spend on a star.

    He goes he goes.. such is life. I rank him BEHIND Garland anyway in terms of importance to this team.

    We lose one we go find another...throw some money or whatever..

    Am sure Roos and co can find a suitable replacement

    Im simply not going to let players dictate my concerns. Its the 'new' way of the landscape. So be it.

    There will be interest for a mature bodied Half back flanker with a booming kick and leads the league for 1 on 1 contests.

    This is terrible news and terrible policy; it should be average salary over the life of each players current contract.

    This hurts the clubs that couldn't pay the salary floor because there was no decent players to pay - front load contracts to reach the floor and be hurt when they come out of contract.

    We should appeal this, if in fact, it is a decision by AFL house that has been reflected by the website.

    It doesn't make any difference because clubs don't match offers if he's gone he's gone they wouldn't make him stay.

    I think their should be an appeal and the status changed. Simply because the rules changed after the contract was signed and paid. Basically there should be a transition period given his obvious importance to the club is not measured in this year's salary as the old contracts expire.

    Why do we not have articles explaining why Dunn is not signed.

    I agree he signed that contract 12 to 18 months before free agency was even introduced, do we still get a first round pick for him ?

    • 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.
