Robert Warnock

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Obviously everyone realizes that Godemons has simply made this story up completely. If it were true he would have provided a source. there is no source.

But Godemons is obviously trying to make a point, and it possibly is a valid one. Warnock's value is being increased through a bidding war between MFC, Blues and Richmond. This all for a guy who's played 16 career games and not dominated in even 1 senior game. Should we really be paying 300k for that?

Is it possible we are getting dooped for a developing ruckman who hasn't made it yet---- Meesan anybody?

If we get Warnock imo it would be a great get. However i would only take him for free in the PSD or with a 3rd round pick (to save the PSD pick for something else.) I would also not like to give him a huge pay packet either.

MFC were never the only bidder for Warnock. Richmond were always interested. I am not sure why Carlton would chase Warnock hard as they have Kreuzer and Hampson. If Warnock wants to be No1 at a Club then Carlton is not the fit. Did anyone mention salary cap?? Warnocks value has not increased its already there. There has been a falsehood that amongst posters that we are in the box seat with Warnock. We are not until he agrees to terms with us

If you had seen any of his 16 games you would realise he is capable tall big man that could provide with us with a useful first ruck for years to come. I am not sure why you would expect a player especially a tall player to be dominating in a game.

White and Yze were on together $1million a year (and I cringe at that) this year. I cant believe that Yze is getting more than $350k or $400k a year. White is getting the balance. Warnock would be great value at $300,000 a year.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

why would they need warnock, they have cloke and vodka cruiser already ?

Cloke is a spud but Kruezer is good.

This is straying from the topic a bit but I would have thought that Jamar would be excellent trading value but I haven't noticed his name mentioned anywhere.

It doesn't make any sense to me either why Carlton would go after Warnock. Maybe they don't see Cloke & Hampson in the same light as Warnock. Who knows? Perhaps they see Kreuzer as the one to help out down forward with Fevola. Whilst Warnock can take the hit outs in the Centre for the majority. Much like the Fraser setup at Collingwood.

Can't believe what Yze is believed to be on. Unbelievable.

Still, i hope Warnock decides to play alongside his brother at the Dees. To be a part of the new era.

warnock won't go to carlton- this visy things sounds like a crock of BS

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

For a good reason...he has little trade value and is not an AFL standard ruckman.

Can't believe what Yze is believed to be on. Unbelievable.

Dont get me started. We should never have given him a 3 year contract in the first place. Absolute waste of money.

I estimate Yze was on 300k to 350k a year. That means White has been pulling 650k to 700k a year. Aargh.

Simply terrible list management.

[H_T 3,047]

$650K-700K for White, sh!te! That's even more mind boggling.

As you've alluded to, $300K per year for Warnock is a good investment.

Connolly has said that around $1 millions would be saved with the departure of W & Y. Whichever way you cut it.....good grief. <_<

RR, is it possible to save 1mil after these two players have left?

As i make it, we have to spend at least 92.5% of $7.69million, equalling around $7.11mil.

So at best, unless i've missed something, the max we can save in terms of TPP is about $580,000

[H_T 3,047]

Mark Harvey now uncertain about retaining Warnock. The ball is in Warnock's court:

We had so many Robert Warnock threads that the system was about to explode so I've taken the liberty of merging them.

I hope this doesn't cause as much confusion as having 4 5 threads about the same bloke was causing!

[beelzebub 23,377]

Theres a very good chance both Y and W were on back ended contracts..as we wernt to flash currency wise a few years back. I mean ..we arent now..but worse then. Amounts may not reflect true seasonal worth..just this years payments.

of course..could be entirely wrong !!

Next year the AFL is allowing MFC to pay less than the required minimum, around 2% less than all other clubs from memory.

Also need to take into account that Yze (and possibly White?) was on the veterans list so 50% of his wage wasn't included in the cap however it will still be a saving for MFC.

Still isnt that clear though as your figures are based on 100% of the cap which we definitely wouldnt be paying, bit baffled by it myself.

Just read on 'ology that Warnock has informed Freo he'll be leaving. Apparently reported on Perth radio.

The ball is now rolling. Hopefully he has a statement soon saying which club he'd prefer to come to.

edit: Good work Demonland in merging....

edit:....Warnock has stated his management will work proactively with Freo, to work out the best possible outcome for Fremantle.

God i hope he picks us.

If he picks Carlton and from all reports they are the front runners now, i will be mad :angry:

Thanks (although generally we've been opposed to mergers ).

There's a resport on Dockerland which suggests that Warnock "would prefer a trade to Carlton, although he has family playing for Melbourne." - http://www.dockerland.com/latest/warnockin...ltons-door.html

Money talks all languages and no doubt the Visy people need an ambassador for some other cause in addition to the green agenda being represented by a certain bald headed midfielder. Who knows, they might still be able to fit Kerr and Cousins in as well.

Just said the press release on SEN, asked the OX if he is coming to the melbourne demons and he said quite shyly- you would think so......

Money talks.

We may just experience a bit of Deja-vu this year with Carlton. I have been told similar info to last year - via the same "ear" on the table at Carlton - with respect to R.Warnock - "Whatever it takes".

Steven Icke is turning everything upside down at present to get Robbie to Carlton.

Whilst it's certainly a case of "nothing's a done deal until it's done", the mfc IMO face an uphill battle to get him to the Dees, thanks to Pratt and Carlton.

So........my word of advice is - "Don't get your hopes up"

Hmmm. Indeed. Can we ask the stewards to swab Carlton. This is not a level playing field it seems...

I hope this is not a deja vu year.

Last Year: -

Storm Premiers and Minor Premiership

Geelong Premiers & Minor Premiership

Gary Ablett Jnr - MVP

Jimmy Bartel - Brownlow

Chris Judd - VISY

This Year so far: -

Storm Minor Premiership, Premiers?

Geelong Minor Premiership, Premiers?

Gary Ablett - MVP

Jimmy Bartel - Brownlow?

Robbie Warnock - VISY?
