The Ben Warren thread

[Roger Mellie 3,999]

Just kidding!

No really - his manager has confirmed we have spoken to him (Source; AFL article about GWS and Carlton interest in Hack Clark from St Kilda)

Any one know anything about him?

Is he that albino average forward from north.

I'm all for role players but yuck!

[Freak 100]

he is a good player. Always rated him

[GrandOld 367]

Was good till he copped a hard knock in 2011, was a bit skittish after that

[Viney12 196]

Ordinary player who always seemed to kick 3 or 4 against us

Then again who hasn't

spent all season playing in the vfl, predominantly forward pocket/half forward.

Huh?

In Ben Warren's career he played Melbourne twice for a total of 2 goals - one in each game.

Maybe you're thinking of Beau Wilkes, who has kicked something like 12 goals in his entire career, and 7 or 8 of them were against us.

I think your thinking of Aaron Edwards?

Could be right

[45HG 1,539]

Kent Kingsley, perhaps?

[The Lobster Effect 888]

I'd want to know why he only played 3 games in 2011 and 1 game in 2012??

(and it can;t be his broken leg as that was back in r13 2009 according to wiki)

Short answer? ... Because he's crap.

I recall being at the last game of the 2010 season against North, and to me he was a real stand out. I had myself asking who is that bloke and from what I've seen I think he will be a fantastic pick up if we get him for next to nothing.

I know he has struggled to hold his spot in their side and it would be quite hard based on his height in comparison to the range of other tall forwards North have to select (Petrie, Edwards, Tarrant, Hansen (also DEF), Pedersen (also DEF), Goldstein/ McIntosh (1 in RUCK the other in FWD or interchange). But a fresh start and increased opportunity may be exactly what he needs. Needless to say I would welcome him to the dees.

Yep, I know that people get smashed on here for quoting inuendo and rumours, but I have heard that of all the deals we're likely to do, this one is the most certain of the lot... I'm not vindicating the choice on the player, just stating that I have heard that Ben Warren is destined to be a Dee.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Rory Hilton always seemed to play well against Melbourne.

Until one sunny day at the G.........

[demonchris 162]

I've seen him play some VFL footy and looked okay. If we get him for next to nothing or maybe packaged up with Ben Mckinley (who i rate) could send back maybe a 3/4 round pick. wouldnt offer anything more

Ben Warren ... it's a NO from me

[Nasher 33,613]

Not a fan at all and don't see what he'd add to the side.

Other than the nickname "rabbit", nothing much.

[1858 285]

He can't get the footy. He hovers around packs and jumps around like an albino orangutan but doesn't actually do anything. Can't see any case for getting him.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,593]

hasnt dont much to uimpress but I assume they might see something in him??

[GRUN DEE 69]

Cam Pederson & Ben Warren for pick 48 & Cale Morton.
