How do you expect Warnock to be racking up stats when Freo have a number one ruckman like Sandilands? To compare his stats with Cox's at the same age is a little spurious. Given more opportunity at number one he might be more impressive.

Very good point. Warnock in Sandilands' shadow may well be far different to Warnock the no. 1 ruckman. His age is a huge factor.

Cox was stuck behind Gardiner don't forget.

And started out 4 or 5 years ago when the game was played a lot differently (not [censored] kicking Warnock. just pointing out possible problems in the comparison)

Sorry to be the one to burst the bubble, but I thought Robbie Warnock was in talks with Richmond and the Tigers were planning to pick him up in the trade period.

his brother has mentioned he is trying to get him to melb.

just wondering, is he a victorian boy? if not, you would think that unless he got a far superior offer than ours that he would be keen to play with his brother?

From memory they are Victorian. Didn't Warnock play for Sandy before being rookie listed by us?

Yep. He grew up in the Sandringham area.

Fair call, but if he is as promising as this conversation suggests we will have to give up something for him.

Spoke with some Fremantle fans on Friday night at the Saints game and they suggested that he would be heading to Melbourne.

The bloke, who had followed his career closely, said that he believe Warnock was very keen on the Demons and they would be his choice of club. Even suggested that he was hoping to fall through until the PSD and go to the Dees for free, which the bloke wasn't happy about because he belives Warnock could be a top ruckmen of the future.

So, if his mail is true, we could be getting our hands on a gem!

(Although, weren't we all led to believe this with Meesen?)

Great quote. Melbourne will have Yze and Neitz off the list at the end of the year. Probably close to a $1 Mil per year, who would you spend that money on, can't see anyone at Melbourne deserving that sort of money. Also add that the commitment to Brisbane for Johnstone finishes this year.

You add White and Bruce's will not demand as much next time their contracts are up, Melbourne have a lot of money to pay for a trade, and under the rules they MUST pay it. And with the likelihood of 1st pick in the PSD, then it is going to be interesting.

Neitz and Yze are on the veterans list and thus only part of their salaries are in the Salary Cap. From memory, half of Neitz's and a quarter, or third of Yze's.

So is White next in line for veteran status, McDonald?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
