Cameron Wood v Robert Warnock

[didaka]

Both talented ruckmen and both players have had about the equal amount of impact at AFL level at the moment, but which player do you rate higher. Cameron Wood or Robert Warnock.

 

[parrot]

Wood will be a decent ruck, but not too much else. Better than a Fanning/Bryan type though. The Pies just don't have any top-shelf quality in their ruck division.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Robert Warnock has done a bit more in my eyes atm, but Wood is a good young ruck prospect that is capable in a few more years, to be the Pies' no.1 ruckman, which will allow Josh Fraser to do bigger stints for the Pies in the forwardline....

 

[smiddaz123]

Warnock. Can't go past him.

Second best young ruckman in the AFL.

 

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

Wood clearly better.

..., which will allow Josh Fraser to do bigger stints for the Pies in the forwardline....

The problem with Fraser in the forwardline, is that he's terribly slow off the mark, and so can't be used as a leading forward. And at ground level he is shocking. He'll be able to exploit a situation where he's caught one-out with a small opposition defender, but the massive rebound-factor of playing him in the forward 50, will cost big time. Cloke is really the only quality KP forward on the Pies list. Rocca is fast approaching retirement. Rusling is a 189cm flanker that can run fast in a straight line, but not do much else, that the Pies call a KP forward, which is a joke. Reid is meant to be a KP forward, but watch the guys kicking. It is a problem. A huge problem.

welcome back Parrot. How was the holiday?

Who's Cameron Wood, i've never heard of him, what clubs he play for? Collingwood? If so then Warnock is far superior, i think that Warnock will be the next big thing. He plays like Cox but he's a better contested mark and about 5cm taller but still has the ability to move around the ground easily. Warnock will probably be the dominant ruckman in the comp probably in 2010 and for the next 6 or so odd years after, absolute star in the making would not surprise me if Sandilands is backing him up at the start of 09.

 

[DOCKER MAN]

Warnock. Can't go past him.

Second best young ruckman in the AFL.

Who's the best? off the top of my head i would think Warnock who do you thinks better, Blake?

 

[Upgrayedd]

Who's the best? off the top of my head i would think Warnock who do you thinks better, Blake?

Obvious answer is Leuenberger

ild take Warnock ahead of Wood every day of the week

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Who's the best? off the top of my head i would think Warnock who do you thinks better, Blake?

Matthew Leuenberger

As has been said, Luenberger.

Warnock is a clear second though.

So is Cloke's but you called him a quality KP forward (a testimate to how good he is that you conceded that).

IMO there isn't much wrong with the technique of Cloke and Reid. Watch Cloke's kicking in general play, it is very good. I think he just gets a case of the nerves from set shots. This will change with experience.

 

[thebigboy]

Hard to say who's better at this point in time with Wood at a new club. Both look promising but i would probably favour Warnock at the moment.

 

[CrazyQ]

Always been a fan of Warnock.

Love his kickin and agility.

Oh dear. So in your opinion, Warnock is better because Wood plays for Collingwood? Brilliant logic.

That is Fraser's greatest strength.

Rusling will never be a key forward. Rocca and Cloke are at the moment, and in the future Cloke, Reid (who will be quality) and Dawes will be the key forwards. Rusling will be an excellent 4th option. No one every said he will be a KPP.

Do you actually realise what you are saying?

 

[Schmick]

Warnock. Coming along quite nicely and was a very very good pickup by the Dockers.

 

[DOCKER MAN]

no it's because Warnock is already as good a ruckman as Fraser Collingwoods number 1, so i figure he is far superior to some backup.

How can someone with those attributes be taken at number one in a draft, amazing.

Because Penis....I mean Parrot, says so.

Getting a bit ahead of yourself there hey. Just like in 2007. How's Tazz going?

Yep, good point.

 

[DOCKER MAN]

Tazz is great he just can't kick and didn't have a pre-season last year, Warnock will be heaps better then Frasser by mid-season by the end of next year he will probably be in the top 6 or so ruckmen if not higher. Obviously everyone who's voting for Wood is a Collingwood supporter or haven't seen Warnock play

 

[BigWardy12]

Who the F*&^ is Cameron wood and why is he being compared to the best young ruckman in the game?
