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)

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

Not going to make a difference.

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.

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 ?

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
