2008 Player Review - # 37 Matthew Warnock

37. Matthew Warnock [192cm 92kg 03.04.84 – games (in 2008) goals (in 2008] – the tall defender surprised most of us by not only claiming a regular spot in the Demons’ defence but by performing admirably against some top opponents and capping off a fine season by finishing fourth in the voting for the "Bluey" Truscott Trophy.

    Been on the list for some time, looked impressive in pre-season work that I witnessed but never given enough games to settle... that is until Bailey arrived. On the evidence provided by his 4th in B&F, the cockroach is very pleased with his progress. In fact, Warnock must be marked as THE big improver of 2008. I like his courage and team ethic. he is quick enough to provide run in future. I hope he can follow up with even more improvement in 2009. If that is the case we have found ourselves a long term solution to one major defence problem.

    I had the pleasure of meeting him earlier in the year, and he is one huge unit. Up close he looks much, much bigger than he does out on the field or on TV. I was surprised at how big he looked, even compared to some of the other bigger blokes.

    I reckon he's just a fairly generic defender, but one that will fit in nicely in to a well functioning backline given his size, speed and strength. Happy with his progress this year though.

    Yeah, I saw him up close too, and he is quite the man.

    As far as his football goes, he didn't make 4th in the B&F based on skill. He is one player who does what is asked of him, and the coaches have rewarded him.

    The guy is tremendously underrated. Mark my words, in two years time, we will have one of the best back-lines in history. I'm excited! "Big Kev" excited.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
