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.....

Was devo when he picked Carlton over us.

  • 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?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
