Quite right. Insane Indeed. $1m over 3 years I think should be the right market price.

So..a mere 67 grand a year will swing it ??

The argument surely is not about that..thats doggy kibble in the great wash of things

Blues win race........etc etc etc

if this is what you're referring to..then we'ver readit...well most of us

The issue however..to which some are attaching a hpoe is that nothing is certain as they say until the fat lady warbles !! Much will depend on the temerity with which Freo come to the table.

its only a 99% certainty at this stage !!

Ahhh do you think the guy with the usename Jack Watts could change his photo.

I believe i have had that photo as my avitar for a couple of months now.

And i didn't think you could use a footballers name as a username if i am correct.

That's pathetic!

Grow up.....

More than real price/value, but looks to be market price.

$400K per year for 4 yrs is nuts (UNLESS there is a no play/no pay clause, or some sort of incentive clause.)

Yes, more than real price/value, but you've gotta pay a little overs to get them. I agree that $1.6m over 4 years is nuts.

I'm sick of looking in this thread for news about Warnock. If there is more significant pieces of news can't we just start a new thread, instead of merging them all the time.

Everytime I go to Demonland (more often than I should) I see that the thread has been added to and I get all excited because I think there is some news, but alas it is just some tool complaining about something.

I agree.

Have merged threads for the 90% inane banter and allow a new one for any compelling new turn of events. Having said that, I suppose that any new thread will just get clogged up with the same inane banter and speculation.

There's probably no way around it when many post just for the sake of posting.

^^^^ couldnt agree more ............

is complaining about complaining...complaining ??

Bingo!

The only quote from Warnock in the australian articlce was that his management would be doing everything they could to get him the best deal.

Why would he nominate carlton before icke had even meet with colin young?

To [censored] off us Demon fans.

Warnock will just be another Ackland. Jesus Ruckman get it easy. He's done nothing to suggest that he will be any good and just cause he's 205cm he gets a [censored] load of money.

Sorry, no. I know it's annoying having to flick through a king-sized thread which is mostly full of toss (I do the same thing as you), but the alternative is having the one forum filled with 100 Warnock threads, which IMO is no better.

One alternative is to have a "Trade News" sticky thread that with no conversation, like the Hatch Match & Dispatch thread if anyone can be bothered maintaining it.

I'm happy to do that, just make me a mod

Reported on channel 10 in perth that Robbie is considering offers from Richmond, Melbourne and Carlton and will nominate his preference next week.

I thought a journalist in the Australian wrote last week that he already nominated his preference for Carlton.

Is it possible that a journo could get things wrong?

(BTW Warnock played 7 WAFL games this year and didn't score a single vote in the Sandover Medal. I wonder how many votes he polls in the Brownlow?)

This particular Journalist has made it an artform. BTW all those who annually pump up Ryan Murphy's tyres can take an early siesta he and Mundy re-signed with the Dockers today.

Warnock still hasn't decided. His management would be making all the rumoured suggestions. Freo hold power until trade week is over- an if we put forward a good deal then look out carlton. if it doesnt, but carlton dont or richmond dont either, then warnock can walk and we'll take him psd.

Correct. This one will drag out. Freo will keep chirping away for a first round draft pick, and if they don't get what they want they will threaten to send him to the Pre-Season for nothing. That would be what we want. For sure.

If he nominated for this years national draft he would go between 8 & 16 IMO. Carlton won't give up pick 6 , so it's pick 24 and a fringe player . Richmond won't offer a first rounder either , so what's wrong with pick 19 and , say , Bell. Then we have a good young ruckman , which we desperately need . Whatever happens Freo won't let him thru to the PSD .

I'm not a massive Matthew Warnock fan, but I believe that his stocks are at there highest. If Robert wants to go to Carlton, lets ship Matthew off as well. Carlton desperately need tall backs, so what would be a viable trade for Matthew?

It's funny, but just now I've gone off Robbie Warnock completely.

How can we expect existing players to help keep a tight rein on player payments then bring in a guy on $300,000+ entirely paid on the basis of 'potential'. I'd want to see a whole lot more before I screwed up our entire salary planning structure.

Remember his stats -

2008 -

9 games, for 11 disposals, 8 hit outs and one tackle per game.

2007 -

12 games for 10 disposals, 10 hit outs and one tackle per game.

As much as they are fine and dandy stats for a young ruckman, they aren't even remotely in the realm of 'major player'. I understand that he has been in Sandilands' shadow and all that, but seriously - we're talking a salary higher than most of our B&F top ten will be on next year.

Just swap Jamar.

If he picks MFC, they can't stop it. HE can tho', by insisting on some trade.
