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.

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

    It's official. Warnock is going to Richmond for their 3rd choice on a reported $550K pa on a 4 year deal. Just joking.

    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?

    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.

    exactly thats just bullS***

    if we don't get warnock

    what are we going to do? we need a ruckman. Jamr is crap, and PJ is better as the no 2. cos he can play forward and back

    spencer is a while off but looking good, and meesen is a dud

    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.

    400,000 a year, you have to be joking!!

    Well done MFC to push his price this high (if true). Sell your VISY shares, they will struggle to turn a profit with these guys on the books.

    hahaahahaha 400K a year for an anorexic beanpole who has done nothing at AFL level.

    Cant wait til we play Carltank and PJ gives his bony arse the run around.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      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).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • 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.
