I don't know if the idea of being second string ruckman for the next 8 years is really what Robbie wants to do. It certainly isn't going to be the driving force behind keeping him in WA.

Being number 2 to Aaron Sandilands is barely helping him.

At least the MFC can offer him a position as our number one ruckman.

This is what Robbie will be sleeping on. Playing second fiddle to Sandilands or being given the message that No.1 position is there at Melbourne if you are interested in coming back home on a enticing contract.

I am thrilled that the club is being proactive in trying to get someone that they want and as long as no specific laws are broken then so be it.

Nothing illegal about the pitch. He is injured and is not playing another game this season. The ball is in "Robbie's court" with only him to decide what is best.

He was told;

" You can stay at Freo and be the #2 ruckman or come to Melbourne and be the #1 "

Whilst it may of not been said, this would have been the underlying message as part of the Powerpoint presentation and meeting the players who would of expressed there desire for him to be part of something exciting in the near future..

    I doubt he was promised the #1 spot. It's more likely he was told that it's up for grabs if he's good enough.

    I don't think he'll have to try too hard though

    There's nothing in Harvey's behaviour - in fact we'd be horrified if Dean Bailey said nothing if another club came poaching as obviously as we have.

    Probably CC getting some of his own back on Freo and Harvs. :lol:

    CC is no longer @ the club..

    I agree, we got ripped by freo 3 times, although we did start it (Jeff White) we did nothing wronmg according to the rules, were allowed to, just no make any actual offers..

    HArvey is jsut getting worse by the week imo, moron!

    Correct. Everyone knows that clubs approach oppostion players during the season, but it's usually done via their manager, and not flaunted in public.

    Our approach was amateurish at best, and the AFL are investigating our conduct. If we are precluded from picking up Warnock as a result, most of you will be wiping your smug grins off your face.

    We'll only face sanctions if we offered him a contract.

    We don't have to offer him a contract

    but i am licking my lips at this propostion of R Warnock joining us- as if he wouldn't

    freo are in a worse position than us with all their old players

    need more youth

    I think its certain now that Warnock will be a demon.

    If Warnock wasn't coming here then i think DB would have kept White.

    He has dropped Jamar, we know Meesen cannot ruck and although PJ is good around the ground he cannot ruck either.

    If DB fails to get Warnock then its a mistake not to have kept White as insurance.

    Well the question remains, will he go Pre season Draft Pick 1 or will he arrive by trade? Leaving PSD 1 for another?

    He was too expensive, too old, and we need people to cull - we still will find it difficult get rid of as many as the club wants - all this outweighs an 'insurance ruck' for the bottom team in the league.

    Warnock or no Warnock.

    Incorrect.

    Incorrect.

    Yeh, I agree. He was out of contract so it's not like we would have offered him a heap of $$$. And if White goes elsewhere, it will be on close to minimum wage. I wonder if Collingwood will take him. I could see them taking him for sure.

    White is finished regardless of what DB does.

    Warnock is no certainty until the deal is done. It aint done yet.

    Insurance in case of what?

    It's not like we're going to be a flag contender next year.

    White's getting on, and clearly isn't part of our future.

    I think every thread that does not state a hard and fast fact should start with "I think"/"X thinks", etcetera, in order to stop fools like me looking at them thinking that some big event has occurred when in reality, it's just somebody's opinion.

    So, if I were to start a topic like this, it would read "I Think Warnock Will Be a Demon," which just happens to be my opinion.

    IMO what you're saying is definitely correct etcetera.

    I second that motion.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
