Ants to unleash Robbie Warnock

[carlton09]

• CARLTON will unveil its star ruck recruit Robbie Warnock in the VFL on Saturday after a season beset by injury.

The Blues gave away selection 24 and 56 for the former Fremantle ruckman, hopeful he was the missing link in their rapidly improving side.
But Warnock had pre-season shoulder and ankle surgery and was then placed on the long-term injury list because of foot-stress fractures.
Finally, after a month of training, Warnock will play for the Northern Bullants against the Bendigo Bombers at Windy Hill on Saturday.
The Blues remain optimistic a bulked-up Warnock could be a finals presence for them, allowing Matthew Kreuzer to spend more time forward.
"We expect him to play this week as long as he gets through training," Carlton football manager Steven Icke said yesterday.

"We are confident he is ready to play, and we want to get him up and ready if we make the finals."
Nick Stevens looks likely to spend another week with the Bullants.
Carlton's match committee will meet today but the midfielder has not yet shown enough form to force his way back into the senior side.
Stevens, under fire for his poor condition, collected 12 disposals and was heavily tagged against North Ballarat on Sunday.

He is unlikely to have done enough to force the hand of coach Brett Ratten.
"They were tough conditions and a player of his quality doesn't get to run around on his own, so he is still working to get back into his top form," Icke said.
Forward Setanta O'hAilpin (soreness) and defender Michael Jamison (groin) will be up for selection for Friday night's blockbuster against Collingwood at the MCG.
Carlton was thrilled with Andrew Walker's VFL return after three shoulder reconstructions, but he will need another week with the Bullants.
He played all over the ground to finish with 22 possessions against the Roosters
"He got through fine, and took a couple of big hits on his shoulder and had no problems, which was great for his confidence," Icke said.
Walker improved as the game progressed.
But with the Bullants playing on Sunday and the Blues on Friday, Walker is likely to return to the senior side against North Melbourne the following week.

Thats great news about both Warnock and Walker, they could really add alot to the side in the later rounds and hopefully September. Stevens isnt getting a arm chair ride back into the side and is being made earn his spot back, which is whats needed. Finally depth is allowing us to make players earn there spots.

 

[gbatman]

things are looking up, Walker would be a certian starter against North.

 

[Juddys_navy_blues]

We'll then know soon enough whether the wait has been worth while.
I for one am looking forward to Warnock.[/quote]

I am too. After all the hipe and drama in trade week it will be great to finally see what he brings to the club. Hopefully alot and releases kruezer forward to become our Gun CHF.

Would love to see Warnock rip up games for us and release the Special K to CHF.I could see this bringing alot of headache's to the opposition trying to find match ups.

Crikey, she's a regular baby factory there....just how many girls does she have?

Haven't laughed that hard in ages Gilly, you douche.


Wouldn't be expecting too much of Warnock this weekend. Has missed a lot of footy and will probably take him a few weeks to get match fitness/touch back. Harder for a big man and he's one hell of a big man. Hopefully he'll be able to crack a senior game round 20/21 in the lead up to finals.

There is already a thread on this here, http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=606697

The club must be thrilled to have Walker and Warnock playing again, with the view that they can make some difference should they be able to force there way into the Carlton side.

We just need the other W, to have a successful recovery from his reco, and be back in the team round 1 next year.

It's an interesting social exercise watching a footy game with grown men wearing dressing gowns.

Would be great if Warnock and Walker can make steady "returns" and hopefully push into the seniors by the end of the year.

I've seen very very little of Warnock, so would be interested to hear how he goes.
