HE can tho', by insisting on some trade.

As I've said before, if he says that then just offer him some more money and see how important he still thinks that trade would be.

    How Good is this Kid? I have not seen him play. Bolting Home to watch Fremantle play is not high on my "to do" List. Never will be! Is He Really worth all the Fuss?

    In the Australian, Warnock is quoted as repeating his preference for Carltank; and Carltank won't offer better than pick 24. Might go to PSD, and Carltank get him for 0. No way we can draft a player who doesn't want to be with us. Or could we? Just to be bastards. Carlton did it with Stevens to deny the Filth.<_<

    Warnock would be ahppy to come to us, his brother is there and he'll be given the number 1 ruck job. so if he does fall trho to PSD, yes we will take him. and, freo could still like the sound of our pick 19 to get him

    Of course we can. Plenty of players haven't ended up at their prefered destination when traded. There is no free agency in our game, players don't always get what they want

    Like your thinking 'furious'. Given the chance, I hope we do it. ;)

    He's not happy to come to us, according to a report in today's The Australian:

    "Warnock's preference is not to join Melbourne, where a deal could have been clinched more easily as the Demons enter trade week next month with selections one and 17."

    so if he does fall trho to PSD, yes we will take him.

    If a trade isn't reached, Warnock may nominate for the national draft, rather than the PSD:

    "It is understood Warnock has threatened to nominate for the national draft, which would leave the Dockers out in the cold without any compensation."

    Good point.

    Anyone know what the rules are for the ND? Can a player nominate his terms, unrestricted?

    Which just goes to show that after everything that's happened in the world's capital markets over the past fortnight, $1.6m over 4 years > $1m over 3 years.

    It's a nice bluff but I doubt he would do it if he wanted to go to Carlton - other clubs would take him first.

    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 second this motion!

    Its quite silly...

    ...probably the reason it's his second option.

  • Quote

    if he goes in the nd there is a good chance a club would pick him up with a late first or second round pick. consider the fact that most picks are speculative to some extent and warnock is a ruckman with a few years in the system and a few games under his belt. that means carlton would have to take him probably with their pick 20 or whatever they have, if someone hasn't got him first. they may as well just trade that to freo for the kid and at least everyone gets something out of it.

    i wonder what freo are asking and what carlton are offering?

  • Quote

    well if you ask me, he'd rather go to melbourne where his brother is..than run the risk of going through to the NAtional draft..where he could be taken by any club at any pick...carlton wouldnt get him at pick 6 because they'd want a kid..so then will he last? if a club needs/wants a ruckman.

    he aint at carlton until the papers are signed

    My first post on this board - and why not pop my cherry with a bit of news:

    Richmond are now out of the running for departing Docker Robert Warnock.

    Warnocks Perth based Manager (Colin Young) advised Richmond yesterday that they were off the Preferred list because they wouldn't come to the party with a 4th year on their offer to Robert.

    This now leaves St. Kilda, Carlton and Melbourne to "seemingly" battle it out.

    Who does this guy think he is, MFC pull out of the race, don't give a 4 year contract to potential, he has done nothing to date.

    No, I think you should remain in the race if only to inflate the salary that Carlton have to pay. It pretty obvious that his manager is using the other clubs as a leverage to boost Warnock's salary.

    oh ffs can we just all get over this bloke! seriously the way he is carrying on he thinks he is jesus crist! let him go to the filth! money hungry twiit!!

    I am a bit over him Dazzle, but I still want to make Carlton bleed out the ying yang. If we happen to get him offering Freo a bit more and Warnock a bit less than Carlton That'll be ok with me, but if they get him I want them in salary cap trouble.

    haha not sure CAC has learnt anything.

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

    I must admit, Warnock's management really do seem to be quite arrogant..

    He is certainly being over valued at this stage..

    I mean, yes, he looks a good prospect, but does have some level of risk, it all seems a bit too self provacting to me..

    that's what people have to realise

    its not warnock at the moment saying i only want to go to carlton- its his management doing all the talking, robbie is probably on holiday and has left it up to the management.

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

  • Quote

    If anyone offers this bloke 4 yr, they bloody better have a get out of jail clause.

    Especially us. 4yrs for what is basically a rooky is bullsh*t. And big $'s. Crazy. :angry:

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
