The Ben Warren thread

Featured Replies

Posted

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!

 
 

he is a good player. Always rated him

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


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

Then again who hasn't

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?

 

Kent Kingsley, perhaps?


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.


Rory Hilton always seemed to play well against Melbourne.

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

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

Edited by demonchris

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

Other than the nickname "rabbit", nothing much.


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.

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

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

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
