Will Ratten Target Warnock?

All the Carlton people I know want Walker gone.

I love it when opposition supporters get down on their "own" ... I hope he does walk ... it would serve them right.

Respect is a two way street. Rischitelli to the Gold Coast is the most recent example. Brisbane have made their own bed ... now sleep in it.

Ps I hope the get "nothing" for him.

I think Warnock's currency will be quite high this off-season.

There are a lot of teams wanting a KPD, but there is a perception there are few out there.

It might be because he isn't rated as a great option, but beggars can't be choosers.

We may be able to snaffle a great deal for him if he's deemed to be surplus to requirements.

I recall seeing an article in the Hun mentioning this topic.

I'd definately take GC's pick 26 for Warnock if it was offered...

Personally I would be very disappointed ... KPB Backman always get a "premium" price. GC have already demonstrated that by what they are willing to pay Bock.

All the talk is about Carlton chasing Chris Tarrant to fulfill its tall defender worries, not Warnock.

It's just like Carlton to go for the big name and the quick fix and I hope they leave our player alone.

Personnaly I hope they chase Tarrant and not Warnock. But if Warnock wants to go. It will most likely be Carlton. We should play hard in a 3 way trade as I think Jacobs will end up in SA.

Tarrant is 30 coming off an injury, with one maybe two years left. Good luck to whoever gets him.

Ah no. Not because we wouldn't want Gibbs. Because it wouldn't be appropriate - for Carlton and it's members, that is.

If you're going to ask for Gibbs, you may as well try for Judd JCB. And that is just ridiculous.

What would it achieve ? It would only tickle their funny bone, that's what.

If I had of suggested Judd- I would have.No- I think Gibbs would suit us better -I think he would make a very good winger.However,I do not really want Warnock to go- if one of our talls gets injured we need a back up. How about letting people have their say wiyhout you reading something else in it.

I think HT's point was that if we went to Carlton during trade week and actually mooted Gibbs for Warnock as a serious proposition, it would get the same kind of reaction from Carlton that asking for Judd would get. Which is to say, Carlton's people would be justifiably angry with our people for wasting their time by arranging a meeting with them, only to suggest trades that are absolutely preposterous.

While alot of bartering surely goes on during trade week, it's not like they stuff each other around saying things like "give us Nick Reiwoldt for pick 65 and a duck?" just because it's "worth a try".

Yeah, Brown off to the Suns.

Oh is that what you meant.. Oh OK. But Brown is about a 6 footer & forward pocket or back flank.

But I think your right,,, that Tarrant seems more likely to go to Visy's Carton, than the Hawks,,, so therefore there won't be many readymade Key Backs about to hit the Glenferrie mud running. So they may have to up the Ante.

Key Backs are valuable, in todays footy.

A lot of Carlton going for Warnock hinges on what happens with Tarrant and from what I can gather, he will most likely end up at Hawthorn. He has been talking about wanting a premiership and I think the Hawks list is a lot closer than Carlton's to getting a flag. I like Warnock but the reality is that our defence is probably the most stacked position and he's not getting games, he would be of a lot more use at a club that is struggling with defenders, like Carlton. And to get a first or second draft pick out of it would be a great result.

It's hard not to when someone puts up the ridiculous notion of Warnock for Gibbs.

Warnock for Ablett anyone ?

See what I mean ? Ratten would be stunned by such an approach. Our FD is smarter than that.

I'd go for Bartel anyway...

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
