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?

    • PREVIEW: West Coast Eagles

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
