Matthew Warnock wants out

[Tricky 340]

Good luck to him on the GC. Honest trier who will play a role for them and help Bock out down back.

This.

[Jordie_tackles 354]

Warnocks just gone to GWS peoples. We got next to nothing for him but gone none the less.

GC but yeah

I know some were expecting a top 25 pick but this is more than I expected for Warnock.

GC obviously didn't want to use a PSD pick on him.

[Jordie_tackles 354]

He isnt half as good as Clark, 25 twice his worth.

Also we have no need for him, and he would most likely walk,

We held very little power in the Warnock situation

They were throwing picks in 20's and 30's away to get a higher pick. Would have been nice to get a bit higher unless they were still angling for Caddy. That looks shot now.

Good luck Matty Warnock................always saw him try his best for the MFC, and you can't ask anymore of that from a player!

In retrospect YES, or even Warnock and our 50ish for their 30ish

I wish him all the best, he was good for us in a dark period. Took a lot of pressure off Frawley when he was developing, I'm sure he'll do well with GC.

I thought this too.

Although nice to get something for Warnock, and around the mark of his value too IMHO, but the way GC were haemorrhaging picks in the 30s, you'd think they'd throw us a slightly nicer bone.

GC wanted him and Caddy wanted out.. why couldn't we fashion a deal to make all happy?

Are there going to be better prospects we can spend our compo picks on?

We could have been the biggest winners this trade period if we landed Clark and Caddy. If we got 39 for Bate that may have also been a good outcome, although time will tell on that one.

At least we still have a pair of aces up our sleeve..

Yes, but a gun in the hand would be better than two picks up your sleeve, don't you think?

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

I agree, but if Caddy wants to leave GC will have to eventually help facilitate that move or potentially lose him for nothing. Then two picks up the sleeve become more valuable than jack shite.

Ok, obviously they just want to squeeze the last year out of him and then resign to losing him next year, whilst still getting high bids as no one will let him go to the open market.

Sneaky. Essendon got played. What would a mediation process do if they already knocked their offer on the head. Waste time. LOL

It would have been good to package Warnock and 54 for a higher pick than 52, but with a swag of draft picks, GC were already trading multiple draft picks for one draft pick in order to lessen their quantity of picks but improve the quality. This move for Warnock and a later pick would have been the reverse for them. In the end, I think we've done ok for Warnock, especially since seemingly no other clubs came to the party. At least we got something, and our third (and likely/hopefully our final) pick in the draft is 54 instead of 72.
