haha not sure CAC has learnt anything.

Looks like it was Warnock's decision, not Richmond's

To the contrary, it was Richmond's decision not "to come to the party with a 4th year on their offer".

I would suggest that this should also be Melbourne's decision.

It's lunacy to pay that sort of coin for a player like Warnock.

End of story.

david armitage for pick 19 is what i've heard if the club dont use 19 on warnock or any other trade

I seriously doubt St Kilda would trade Armitage.

The guy has talent and was picked for the finals, so Armitage can't blame lack of opportunity.

I would however take the trade in a heartbeat.

reliable source: and you can bet your bottom dollar if we get another top 20 pick or another there abouts pick, and don't use 19 on warnock- the deal will happen. It's been arranged.

Love those "reliable sources".

I also love those "if's", "buts" and "maybe's".....

According to a report in the paper this morning Warnock will go to Carlton for pick 24, he will get paid $1.5m over 4 years. He apparently said the opportunity to play beside Judd influenced his decision.

Mind you Freo want pick 6 so it's not a done deal yet, but Melbourne have seemingly pulled out of the race because of the size of the contract he is seeking.

Im over this hack now anyway. Stef Martin could even be a proposition judging by his efforts yesterday and i know he has played in the ruck.

Which paper?

Was mentioned in the West Australian and the South Australian Advertiser.

It should be noted that the author of that article has a history of being anti-fremantle.

For what it's worth (and I don't care if you beleive me or not) - I spoke with a player in Carlton's Leadership Group on Grand Final day, who told me that (amongst other things) Warnock to Carlton is a done deal, including an agreement with Fremantle.

Of course its a done deal and of course a member of Carlton's leadership group is going to just tell some random about the deal.

Comprehension not one of your strong points?

I don't think its a matter of believing you mate... for me its more a matter of believing the player.

Word of mouth is a powerful tool. Could be just saying it to get the word out and give Warnock a little shove, if he's only leaning their way.

Could be any number of reasons they'd say it - because its true is only one of them.

Understand your point of view, but sprinting 100m - you can't judge him alone on this effort for a ruck proposition Mousey. But geez the run was impressive for a big man.

Patience and a strong resolve is needed by our recruiters. If we start paying players above thier worth now it will come back to bite us when we have a crack at a flag.

Warnock would be nice but not at any cost. The down side and precedent it sets is a big risk.

Spencer is a while off, Meesen doesn't look like it but could make. Rookie list another ruckman maybe, some very good ruckmen have been developed this way. We wont need a ruckman to play finals next year. Spencer or someone else may thrust thier name forward by 2010.

Report in Sunday herald sun that we are out of the race for him as we cant fit him into our salary cap, if this is true then we are doing something very wrong worst performed side for the year we pay the highest compared to any other club.

W.T. F is going on

The Hun report didn't mention the salary cap. We're out of the race because Warnock's $ claims are over the top.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
