Richmond interested in young Freo ruckman Warnock

[Darth Tiger]

What more VISY monopoly money outside the salary cap  .

Let them give up pick 6. That'll be 2 drafts in a row without taking a top kid from the draft.

Wont be pick 6, more likely to be 2nd round + a young fringe midfielder, more likely to be Father/Son originally from WA. 

[1965]

the blues get their way yet again. More visy money straight to lure players to Princess park.

effhead Andy d doesn't give a toss i tell you why. The blues represents more money for them so they wont stand in Visy's way.

With all due respect that would be Princes Park.

You have an "S" too many.

Chances are you don't give an "F" though.

Freo are still after duds if they accept Luke Blackwell who couldn't get a game this year. The only other West Aussies on Carlton's list are Paul Bower, Steven Browne and Clinton Benjamin.

In that case we should convince Freo JON is a potential "Adam Goodes type" 

Blues fans want the pick 24 + Blackwell deal as Blackwell will be delisted if not traded. Freo could get him for nothing.

Freo's hard line on Robert Warnock trade
Kim Hagdorn and Glenn McFarlane | September 14, 2008

FREMANTLE will play hard ball and insist on prime draft picks in any trade deal for young ruckman Robert Warnock.

Victorian clubs are clambering to win the giant 21-year-old's signature, after he stunned Fremantle officials on Wednesday with a decision to head home to Melbourne.

Football operations chief Chris Bond said the Dockers would insist on at least a first-round draft pick in opening trade talk salvos. Bond and Dockers chief executive Steve Rosich refused to comment on Warnock's negotiations yesterday.

Fremantle want Carlton, which has been mentioned as a frontrunner to secure Warnock's services, to offer pick six and Richmond at least its first selection (pick eight). But Carlton is expected to offer only a second-round selection (24) for Warnock.

Melbourne remains in prime position if other negotiations fail and could take Warnock with first-pick in the pre-season draft. The Demons have appreciable room in their salary cap to accommodate a possible $400,000-a-season, four-year deal.

Carlton football manager Steven Icke met Warnock's manager Colin Young in Perth on Friday. Young will travel to Melbourne this week to consider formal offers from Richmond and Melbourne. St Kilda is also believed to have shown interest.

"We have to weigh up everything that might be offered to Robbie over the next few days and make a decision on what is best for his footy," Young said. "We'll have a clearer view after some discussions in Melbourne this week."

Young was also discussing offers from Carlton for Eagles' forward Ben McKinley, however, the creative goal-shark agreed to a two-year contract extension with West Coast.

No way is Warnock worth a top 10 pick so Freo are dreaming. Going by the Wood trade last year Warnock will go for a mid-late teen pick which puts Melbourne in the best position in what they can offer Freo. The problem is the AFL are so keen to avoid free agency coming in they'll probably force Freo to accept what Carlton offers like they made Eagles do for Judd at the expense of the other clubs .

[mightytiges]

Has Warnock or his manager actually come out and said themselves his preferred club is Carlton? Why would his manager talk to us this week and find out what we are offering if he has.

Warnock was a stick insect when he was 18 like Gus was. Both the same age too (21 y.o. with Gus three months younger). Shows you need to be patient with ruckman as they build up their body. Remember Gus missed a lot of last preseason due to that broken ankle.

from the Australian
Greg Denham | September 17, 2008

Warnock is out of contract and last week informed the Dockers he wants to move home to Victoria where he is in demand.

While the Blues have taken over the front running for his services, due to Warnock's desire to play for them, both Melbourne and Richmond are making a strong claims for him.

Carlton is understood to have offered him a four-year deal worth $1.4 million.

Denham said this morning on KB's show that the Warnock saga has a long way to go. We and Dees are still chasing hard. The Dees may even make a "Veale" deal with Freo to swap picks 1 and 3 so Freo can get Naitanui ahead of the Eagles. The Eagles will then take Rich at 2 and Melbourne still pick up their first choice Watts at 3 plus Warnock in the PSD.

350k per year isn't that high these days although with Warnock it is paying on potential rather than current performance. We're paying Jordie almost that amount over 3 years.
