Im sure i read somewhere that Warnock was offered a reduced contract from carlton, Sounds like they are expecting an offer to come his way and will probably let him go if the compo is suitable.
Some of you know my semi-connection to Warnock. Nobody needs to tell you that the writing was on the wall long before his poor form this year.
While it was nice to have that connection to the current playing list where I've been privvy to a little goss (nothing out of the ordinarily - nothing worth posting about anyways) the suitable compo the Blues will get in return is to not have such a significant sum of money invested into someone providing such little returns on investment and the open list spot. If another club is silly enough to trade anything of value (even a pick upgrade to us) it's highway robbery.
That's not to say Robbie's not a good bloke because from all reports he's a good guy but if you're 206 you need to have a presence on the park outside of the centre bounce and the ever occasional boundary throw in. Unfortunately, Robbie plays like many tall athletes - thrown into the prey because of their size and lacking the mentality to be successful.
