Matthew Warnock wants out

Recommended Posts

What do you base that on Diablo?

Would be a great result! But I would he surprised...

They now have picks 27, 31 and 32 contrary to popular belief I believe Warnock has currency

KPFB doesn't grow on trees yes he has his downsides and limitations but if we didn't have Frawley who is and AA

Warnock would get a game every week.

and BB makes a good point it might take our pick 54 so we might trade to upgrade our pick maybe even to 27.

Except that we could pressure on GC to give us something by dealing with say Carlton, Hawks or who ever else may be interested. Warnock would have to want to go but we could get a little "competitive tension" into the process

The problem with this nutbean is you have to have muscle to flex it.

I think he was treated badly last season but

If he cannot get a game at a side that finishes 13th and gets beaten by 31 goals then he cannot be much good.

GC are not that silly.

They know there is not much interest elsewhere, unfortunately I think we will get a fourth round pick or an upgrade that we will probably not use.

Anyway I hope it all works for Warnock and he enjoys the GC.

My thinking is to clarify.. Warnock will go to the GC.. MFC and GCwillalso swap some picks.. how and to what extent im not really on the ball here, just that a straight out deal often isnt the end result with these things If a deal hs already been struck with North for Maric then our coffers provide some flexibility.

Exactly this. There would be at least 5 teams who would be rapt to have him, IMO, but it just so happens we have one of the best backlines in the league, led by Chip, who takes the spot that would otherwise be filled by Warnock.

DM I think Warnock was better than the way he was treated this year.

But he has been universally bagged by most people on demonland and canned by the MFC FD.

So that indicates he has little currency.

Have not heard of 5 clubs busting down our doors to get him.

I am not being a smart arse but who do you think the five clubs are?

Whatever we get is going to be better than nothing. Warnock has packed his bags and won't be playing for the MFC again.

Even if we upgrade a pick it is better than nothing. Here is hoping we could land an extra pick inside the top 40 that could be used in another deal.

GWS

GC

Adelaide

Carlton

Hawthorn

Brisbane (possibly)

Essendon (depending on what happens with Gumbleton)

What is happening with MW?

Not even mentioned in the palyer movement report in todays HUN.

Anyone know anything?

Now that the Clark deal is done, we have more time to focus on some of the lesser trades. We've got a little over a day to potentially clear 3 list spots and better our draft position. Or there could be some other surprises in the works!

I think the MFC have treated Warnock poorly.

He wanted a trade at the end of '10, wanting more opportunities.

We said: No, you're a required player.

We then gave him 1? game in '11.

His market/contract value must have suffered accordingly (let alone his trade value).

He has a right to be peeved IMO.

He was required, as cover for Frawley and the other KPD's. You say 'give' as if he's entitled to more games, reality is he is a good ordinary player, a reasonable stopper but a liability with the ball. He is not a top line player and with the personnel we have developed he no longer deserved a regular game on merit.

We took a punt on him when he was a raw, quick 20 yer old 'development player' on Sandy's list. I don't think too many other AFL clubs were looking at him when he was rookied by us so if his journey with the MFC finishes similarly (with little interest from other clubs) its hardly any fault of ours.

Funny how when Frawley was out for round 1 and that 5 - 6 stretch Garland missed they didn't use him for the role he was apparently on the list for.

Can't see him being on our list next year. It's either a trade or, more likely, a delisting. His value is low, whoever wants him would probably rate their chance in the ND or PSD, so we'd have to make do with a crap deal or no offer at all.

We have a new coach and a new footy department that may have a different view of Warnock than the previous coaching staff. We may try to keep him if we don't get a good offer from elsewhere.

My point exactly.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
