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:

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
