Obviously everyone realizes that Godemons has simply made this story up completely. If it were true he would have provided a source. there is no source.

But Godemons is obviously trying to make a point, and it possibly is a valid one. Warnock's value is being increased through a bidding war between MFC, Blues and Richmond. This all for a guy who's played 16 career games and not dominated in even 1 senior game. Should we really be paying 300k for that?

Is it possible we are getting dooped for a developing ruckman who hasn't made it yet---- Meesan anybody?

If we get Warnock imo it would be a great get. However i would only take him for free in the PSD or with a 3rd round pick (to save the PSD pick for something else.) I would also not like to give him a huge pay packet either.

MFC were never the only bidder for Warnock. Richmond were always interested. I am not sure why Carlton would chase Warnock hard as they have Kreuzer and Hampson. If Warnock wants to be No1 at a Club then Carlton is not the fit. Did anyone mention salary cap?? Warnocks value has not increased its already there. There has been a falsehood that amongst posters that we are in the box seat with Warnock. We are not until he agrees to terms with us

If you had seen any of his 16 games you would realise he is capable tall big man that could provide with us with a useful first ruck for years to come. I am not sure why you would expect a player especially a tall player to be dominating in a game.

White and Yze were on together $1million a year (and I cringe at that) this year. I cant believe that Yze is getting more than $350k or $400k a year. White is getting the balance. Warnock would be great value at $300,000 a year.

    why would they need warnock, they have cloke and vodka cruiser already ?

    Cloke is a spud but Kruezer is good.

    This is straying from the topic a bit but I would have thought that Jamar would be excellent trading value but I haven't noticed his name mentioned anywhere.

    It doesn't make any sense to me either why Carlton would go after Warnock. Maybe they don't see Cloke & Hampson in the same light as Warnock. Who knows? Perhaps they see Kreuzer as the one to help out down forward with Fevola. Whilst Warnock can take the hit outs in the Centre for the majority. Much like the Fraser setup at Collingwood.

    Can't believe what Yze is believed to be on. Unbelievable.

    Still, i hope Warnock decides to play alongside his brother at the Dees. To be a part of the new era.

    For a good reason...he has little trade value and is not an AFL standard ruckman.

    Dont get me started. We should never have given him a 3 year contract in the first place. Absolute waste of money.

    I estimate Yze was on 300k to 350k a year. That means White has been pulling 650k to 700k a year. Aargh. :o

    Simply terrible list management.

    $650K-700K for White, sh!te! That's even more mind boggling.

    As you've alluded to, $300K per year for Warnock is a good investment.

    Connolly has said that around $1 millions would be saved with the departure of W & Y. Whichever way you cut it.....good grief. <_<

    RR, is it possible to save 1mil after these two players have left?

    As i make it, we have to spend at least 92.5% of $7.69million, equalling around $7.11mil.

    So at best, unless i've missed something, the max we can save in terms of TPP is about $580,000

  • Quote

    Theres a very good chance both Y and W were on back ended contracts..as we wernt to flash currency wise a few years back. I mean ..we arent now..but worse then. Amounts may not reflect true seasonal worth..just this years payments.

    of course..could be entirely wrong !! :lol:

    Next year the AFL is allowing MFC to pay less than the required minimum, around 2% less than all other clubs from memory.

    Also need to take into account that Yze (and possibly White?) was on the veterans list so 50% of his wage wasn't included in the cap however it will still be a saving for MFC.

    Still isnt that clear though as your figures are based on 100% of the cap which we definitely wouldnt be paying, bit baffled by it myself.

    The ball is now rolling. Hopefully he has a statement soon saying which club he'd prefer to come to.

    edit: Good work Demonland in merging.... :)

    edit:....Warnock has stated his management will work proactively with Freo, to work out the best possible outcome for Fremantle.

    God i hope he picks us.

    If he picks Carlton and from all reports they are the front runners now, i will be mad :angry:

    Thanks (although generally we've been opposed to mergers :rolleyes: ).

    There's a resport on Dockerland which suggests that Warnock "would prefer a trade to Carlton, although he has family playing for Melbourne." - http://www.dockerland.com/latest/warnockin...ltons-door.html

    Money talks all languages and no doubt the Visy people need an ambassador for some other cause in addition to the green agenda being represented by a certain bald headed midfielder. Who knows, they might still be able to fit Kerr and Cousins in as well.

    Money talks.

    We may just experience a bit of Deja-vu this year with Carlton. I have been told similar info to last year - via the same "ear" on the table at Carlton - with respect to R.Warnock - "Whatever it takes".

    Steven Icke is turning everything upside down at present to get Robbie to Carlton.

    Whilst it's certainly a case of "nothing's a done deal until it's done", the mfc IMO face an uphill battle to get him to the Dees, thanks to Pratt and Carlton.

    So........my word of advice is - "Don't get your hopes up"

    Hmmm. Indeed. Can we ask the stewards to swab Carlton. This is not a level playing field it seems...

    I hope this is not a deja vu year.

    Last Year: -

    Storm Premiers and Minor Premiership

    Geelong Premiers & Minor Premiership

    Gary Ablett Jnr - MVP

    Jimmy Bartel - Brownlow

    Chris Judd - VISY

    This Year so far: -

    Storm Minor Premiership, Premiers?

    Geelong Minor Premiership, Premiers?

    Gary Ablett - MVP

    Jimmy Bartel - Brownlow?

    Robbie Warnock - VISY?

    • 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.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
