As people have stated on this thread he offers little trade value. But value at that. As I said it might even be the little 'sweetener' of the Nutra-Sweet variety along with the compo picks in return for O'Meara.

Or a small pick upgrade that may cause a domino to fall...

Do they actually have a starting FB ? cant think of anyone of consequence.

    Possible interested clubs:

    Hawks ?

    Crows ?

    GWS ?

    Dockers ?

    Blues ?

    I hope there is a few interested. Could also be one of the first dominoes to fall.

    Could also be the player who may assist in getting someone such as O'Meara of GWS, if in pursuit of O'Meara. If GWS is in pursuit of someone down back to help out Davis and take on the gorilla's.

    edit: don't think Blues and Dockers would contemplate him on second thought.

    could add GCS to that list?

    I may be wrong but I beleive that GWS can not draft anymore players from us due to them getting Scully.

    We can't trade ?

    If that's the case, and there were no offers, we would delist him if NRQ and they could pick him up late in the draft. Or PSD.

    If GWS want another of our players then we have to agree to the trade. Our player dealings with GWS from now on are just the same as they would be with any other AFL club.

    Just for an outside perspective, Jon Ralph today said he thinks Warnock could garner a 3rd round pick at best.

    He also said a team might find him useful as a 3rd tall defender, so I wouldn't say he really knows what he's talking about.

    But 3rd round pick isn't too far off.

    They can not unceremoniously poach any more. But they can ask, and if all agreable its like any club trading, no bigee. Nothing stopping MW going to GWs if a deal can be done. Hed probably get a bigger pay cheque off of them than most clubs too.

    Unless we have no takers and delist the players, in which case GWS can take who they like.

    my point exactly.. Whilst not earth shattering MW can play as a FB or key back position at AFL level. Mightnt win AA doing it but hes able. I dont see anyone else on their list near the job, not yet.

    Just as GC went for a so-so ruck in Fraser..so might the Dwarves go for a ready made ( if not overly shiney ) bloke in Warnock. ( or not..lol )

    Thanks Jack. A third round pick would be somewhere between pick 45 and 62. Warnock's future has to be limited with us due to being behind Frawley, Garland and Rivers, but I'd be disappointed to see him walk for nothing. He could walk into a couple of teams' backlines, and the possibility's surely there to be able to package him in some sort of deal with GWS. Hawthorn's third round pick (58 or 60) wouldn't excite me at all. I think there's more to be gained in looking to sweeten up a deal for Jaguar O'Meara, however that might end up looking.

    The problem with Warnock is that he is slow and can only really play on the Gorilla full-forwards. Chip on the other hand, is way more attacking, quicker, more aggressive and can play on all types of forwards. Only really room for one of them in the back-line, and i'd even select Chip of Warnock even if he only had one leg.

    First rounder required, :) . I wish, i'd be happy with just an upgrade of picks or as a little sweetener.

    Warnock isn't slow at all. His problem is disposal compounded by treating the footy like it's a hot potato rolled in a dog turd.

    I believe that that they can't even do that, basically meaning that they can't talk a Melbourne player into not signing a new contract and then pick them up in a draft. They now have to get our permission to take another Melbourne player.

    Perfect description of his abilities & weaknesses

    I think hes a good player that we have better of, but it means his value is certainly still there. A tall backman is always a need of most clubs, so using him for the best offer could benefit us highly

    I think St Kilda could do with him...maybe a trade with say Lynch,Stanley or even Farren Ray maybe a good pick up in a trade/swap.

    I know I have already posted, but Warnock might find it a little competitive with Brian Lake's recent interview. I'm not that convinced he will remain a Bulldog given his comments and vague committment.

    Farren Ray....you're kidding yourself. He isn't the list clogger we would want

    Lynch & Stanley on the other hand- very limited game time like most of the young Saints.

    Now that we have a new coach, i wonder if Warnock will still feel the same way...?

    He is a big boy..that we do lack.

    Geez i would love Brendan Goddard!!!

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
