Not sure if anyo of you saw him play last season when Sandilands was injured, but Warnock was more than up to the task

At 206cm, I cna only drool as the though of him at the MFC.

We are talking a legit ruckman, the kind we havent had at the club sincr Stynes (yes I know White is legit, but he was 195cm)

    I couldn't help but be impressed with our Warnocks game on Sunday. One game doesn't make a career, but I thought he showed quite a bit, especially with the ability to hit targets. I, like many thought he wasn't going to cut it, but if he was to continue in that manner and become a solid AFL player, then the attraction for his brother to come to us would be even more so.

    I like the idea of Warnock and Natanui leading our ruck in the coming years.

    Yeah, I was pleased with Matty Warnock's efforts up in Brisbane.

    I have to confess - when I saw number 37 on the field I did a thorough double-take because the talk for a while has been that he is gone, and probably wouldn't play another AFL game. But he did alright on Sunday. And looking back over the recent Sandy reports, he's been pretty solid.

    It'd be great if he could consolidate, he is still young for a tall, after all. It's also not as if we'll be desperately trying to find extra players to delist come years end.

    Bringing in the Freo Warnock would seem reasonable - if they're not even giving the poor bugger a game they would probably be comfortable trading him for, I dunno, CJ? (You never know your luck, it is Fremantle after all!).

    If we do end up with the no 1 pick in preseason draft, it'd be handy pressure on the trade. Of course, ultimately it'll have to be used to pick up Ben Cousins for a comeback tour. ;)

    At this stage, each Warnock brother is on about the same odds of playing for MFC next year!

    The Naitanui vs Rich debate is going to be an interesting one to watch.

    Warnock looks a likely sort, only problem is his brother will probably get the axe at seasons end, so there is one less reaosn for him to come.

    Also, I have heard whispers of a few unhappy players around looking for a fresh start, including Brisbane's Troy Selwood. I am not saying Selwood would be picked over Warnock (robbie warnock has a big upside being a 21 year old ruckman- plus this allows us to trade Jamar and Delist Meesen), my point is there could be some REAL talent in the PSD. We hould get the best player in the PSD, that could be anyone by seasons end ( i bet carlton couldn't believe their luck when they landed Nick Stevens, what fortune will roll our way?)

    By the way, if the Tiggies are keen for a ruckman, I am sure we could offer them one.

    With the rules changing for this year, uncontracted players are now able to nominate for the national draft and don't have to solely nominate for the PSD so players now have this option..

    Who would though? I can see it now; Robbie Warnock nominates for the national draft so he can get home to Victoria, and gets picked up by Brisbane.

    The PSD is a much, much safer bet, particularly in this instance.

    I thought that players have always been able to nominate for both drafts.

    Pretty sure the rule was that if you were already on a list (but not under contract), you could only nominate for the PSD. Previously you could not nominate for the ND until your club had delisted you.

    I think you may have been able to if delisted early enough - ie. first set of delistings rather than the third. It was all about the nomination date.

    Laycock is a lazy footballer. i have some essendon mates who absolutely hate him. we don't want him.

    I've got bomber mates who would agree with that as well but the reason why they hate Laycock is because thry can see the talent yet he doesn't produce it week in week out.

    I'm not saying we should offer anything large for Laycock but i'll give up the pick we used for Meesen any day.

    I've seen him play cracking games as the number one ruck but once Hille steps on the field, he's lost.

    Pretty sure it was just that you had to have been delisted by nomination date, yep. Simple logic really. Delisted? Yes: then you can nominate, No: you can't.

    bool canNominate = delisted ? true : false

    For the geeks among us ;)

    Thanks for being of absolutely no help whatsoever :wacko::lol:

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
