Richmond interested in young Freo ruckman Warnock

[pmac21]

I'd be offerering a first round pick just so Carlton have to give it up to get this over rated bloke !!

Go into the National draft and risk ending up at Port Adelaide or West Coast?

Can you name your own contract terms n the National draft as you can in the PSD? I can't remember.

I hope based on what Cameron said yesterday that we haven't ruled out Warnock and that Ch 10 report in Perth the other week was wrong. It wouldn't be the first time a Perth based journo got things wrong on Richmond. Just ask Gossage and his "rock the world" comments .

from today's Herald-Sun....

The Demons cannot hope to match Carlton's four-year bid worth $350,000 a year for Fremantle ruckman Robert Warnock, as they hope to reduce their wages bill.

Carlton, who met the 206cm 21-year-old on Tuesday, remains confident Warnock will be at Princes Park next year.

The Demons and Richmond will continue to push for his services. They hold higher draft picks than the No. 24 that Carlton will offer.

Richmond is believed to be keen to offer higher picks than the Blues, as they did last year when trying to trade for Chris Judd.

But Carlton says even if Richmond tries to spoil its deal, Warnock's commitment to the Blues is unequivocal.

The only one we hold higher is pick 8.

I'm guessing we'd be aiming at trading someone for a pick in the mid teens and then on-trade that.

I'm not sure who'd get us a mid-teen pick?

Seeing as ruckman are such hot property, maybe Gus Graham??

Schulz??

With question marks over Polak, you'd have to keep Schulz.

Could work in a 3-way trade. We give up our second round pick 26 combining it with a player and a club with a mid-teen pick hands it over to Freo and we get Warnock.

I can't see us working out a direct trade with Freo. No way should pick 8 be on the trade table!

Carlton appears to have won the race for departed Fremantle ruckman Robert Warnock, with Melbourne unable to afford his asking price of $400,000 a year.

The Blues have already begun talks with Fremantle that will most likely result in Warnock being traded for Carlton's second-round pick -- No. 24 overall -- in November's national draft.

Richmond and St Kilda are also keen on the 206cm ruckman, but Warnock has nominated Carlton as his preferred destination. It is believed a strong desire to play alongside Chris Judd clinched his decision.

The Blues will be laughing if they only have to cough up pick 24 for Warnock.

Warnock for $400k
After Kerr to for $800k
Judd for $1m+
New $$$ contracts for Fev, Gibbs
More $$$ for Murphy when he eventually re-signs.

Still no salary cap at VISYland it seems  .

If they get both Warnock & Kerr, then they'd have Judd, Kerr, Fevola, Warnock, Stevens & Murphy making up about 45% of their salary cap next year. Leaves the rest of their list to split the other 55%, which averages out at about 130k each, which is not much considering the average AFL salary is about $240k.

And now they're saying they're interested in O'Keefe  .

Warnock must really love his brother if he prefers playing with Judd over him lol

Carlton have offered just pick 24 for Warnock.

Ch 10 in Perth are saying Freo has rejected Carlton's offer of pick 24 for Warnock.


MELBOURNE coach Dean Bailey has not ruled out luring emerging Fremantle ruckman Robbie Warnock to the Demons.
