Robbie Warnock - delisted

Featured Replies

Posted

MFC hasn't dodged too many bullets over the past 5 years or more, but Robbie Warnock was one.

Pretty sure Carlscum paid him $400k+ pa for 4 yrs.

 

 

I remember my Carlscum mates crowing that the beat us to him, and I also remember me being happy they did. He was a spud that just happened to be 15'10. But a tall spud is still a spud.

Still, he can't complain. $1.6 mil plus whatever else he earnt before that isn't bad just for being an overgrown spud. I'd take that in a heart beat.


Would rather him or Daw as back up to Gawn over Spencer.

No way. Warnock is dreadful. He might win a couple more hitouts but he's even more useless around the ground than Spencer, and possibly less agile if that's possible. In his 2 games for the year he took one solitary mark, and he averaged 1.5 tackles compared to Pencil's 5. In the pecking order at Carlton he was behind Cameron Wood ffs.

Pencil is also two years younger. He may not have the highest ceiling but he's about to enter his best couple of years I think. He's sufficient backup to Maximus.

The less said about Daw the better. Amazed it took this long for North to cut their losses.

 

Clinton Young is in the same boat. Remember we lobbied hard for his services for him to turn us down and join the pies.

He has now been delisted. Bet he would love the dees to offer him a spot now!


I thought they were paying him closer to $700-800k, but maybe I'm wrong. That is hilarious though. Carlton's list management in the past 5 years has equalled anything we've done. I don't care what anyone says.

Remember when Jake Spencer towelled him up last year? (2014)

Thats was funny.

The club had a pre draft evening at a Volvo dealership in Port Melbourne on the night before we drafted Jack Watts and I briefly met Warnock's father there. He was happy for his son Robert who had moved to Carlton from Freo on a $400k contract which had beaten our offer by a fair bit money wise and in terms of contract length but dissapointed that he wasn't reunited in the same team as Matthew. Seemed to be fairly strongly in the Demon camp.

I think Robert will be picked up by someone but our preference might be to rookie a developing ruckman.

Surely Daniel Gorringe would be a better bet, given he has been delisted by the Suns.

Highly doubt it. Slow motion giraffe who is eternally injured.


FFS, seeing threads like this bumped scare the [censored] out of me.

if we laugh at them, we really are only laughing at ourselves.

its quite healthy to have a giggle at one's self. We should be well practised.
 

Going to north as a rookie as backup for Tottie.....

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
