Merged Warnock Trade Thread

[Juddrockz]

I could see Freo playing the pick 17 from the dees for a nobody in this deal. Let Warnock go to the preseason draft.

Melb could make this one get messy.

Why would they waste pick 17 on a guy that has selected another club of preferance? Doesn't that kind've tell you he doesn't want to go to the Dees????

And Nick Stevens popped the champagne cork when he fell to you in the preseason draft after his preferred destination couldn't get the deal done.

Re: Warnock homeward bound

let's hope they are true to their word. if he goes to melbourne for nothing i will puke

Word is Melbourne will give Freo our #1 pick for there #3 and Warnock, which then ensures Freo will get there man Natanui, West Coast were chasing Natanui, but will settle for Rich, And Melbourne will get there man Watts. Good source.

I would have thought the draft would have Watts at 1, Rich at 2 and Natinui 3 regardless. Would freo not be better served looking for a trade with the aim of securing yarran within the top 10, even if it means offering up another player. The real problem here is the victorians cost an inflated price to keep west, and to get quality WA players back costs us more (Farmer, headland etc). I would rather see freo swap Warnock and Murphy to Carlton for pic 6 allowing freo to get both Natinui and Yarran. two victorians gone with two locals remaining. That leaves port adelaide and Freo to battle something out for carr and Krackour (might cost shammer an ex south australian) No matter what happens freo need to bolster their west australian playing stocks, otherwise we will continue to have a playing group earning more than there worth.

As for warnock's worth, I can honestly say that he has a competative edge that will surprise his detracters. having constantly had to cut his teeth trainig against sandilands, he displays a never say die attitude and a very competative spirit. Add this to his great skills and he is definately worth th hype

Re: Warnock homeward bound

Polo is crap, Remove him from the equation and it starts to look less than acceptable.

Polo's a good player. I'd like him to stay but you have to give to receive.

Good post. If you're afraid of losing Victorians, don't draft them. Geelong built a team with home town boys and country kids. You could do the same.

Stop talking Warnock down in every single thread.

Yes......you're right......I'm being overly harsh...........we should trade hard for him.......give pick 6.

And you're supposed to be one of the more knowledgeable Carlton posters.

Well, I will never admit to it........but yes........I suppose you're right.

I have only ever tried to put some perspective into an otherwise irrational debate.

When someone posts a clip about how great Warnock is they could do better than put in something where he loses the tap, gets a lucky free and 50m penalty........

The clips of his Saints game earlier this year are far better........gee, did I just talk him up...........maybe we should offer 6 AND 24........

 

[French Tiger]

Correct me if i'm wrong.But why should a bloke who was taken mid to late in a draft & has done bugger all so far in his career then Freo expect to get a top 10 pick for him ?

Use the friggin space bar, it's there for a bloody reason.

The ....... are for pauses numb nuts.......to empasise a break in dialogue without and end of a sentence.......especially useful when being sarcastic as with my post above. You can see spaces between words that flow.

Who gives a **** anyway?

I hope you find them.........really......REALLY.....ANNOYING!!

Where has he stated that???

All he has said so far is he likes Carlton,

Dont get too ahead of your self yet.

 

[Bluebear]

How much does that differ from

club of preference

Splitting hairs aren't we?

Given that the Dees tried to woo him, and his brother is there, for him to suggest the Blues are of interest is quite rightly seen as a bit of a blow to the Dees.

Ruled out? Of course not, but I think the point is valid. Clearly the Dees isn't his number 1 choice, so quite rightly the question is asked by Juddrockz "Why waste the pick on him"?

 

[GoRoos01]

This is a trade that i think all clubs would be satisfied with:

Freo:
Lose: Warnock
Gain: Griffin and 2nd round pick

Carlton:
Lose: 2nd and 3rd pick
Gain: Warnock

Adelaide:
Lose: Griffin
Gain: 3rd round pick

Freo then trade Carr and on-trade 2nd round pick to Port for Krakouer. . .
What do you guys think????

 

[Chris25]

And here come the angry Adelaide supporters....

 

[GoRoos01]

Seriously Guy . . . . . What do you expect crows will get for Griff?

 

[Chris25]

Obviously being a Fremantle supporter I prefer Warnock, but Griffin would have a value very much similar to Warnock. Plus the fact that Griffin is still contracted to Adelaide, it would need a lot more than a 3rd rounder for the Crows to give him up.

 

[Athomas]

No way carlton will give up 2nd and 3rd round picks.

 

[Bluebear]

Carlton:
Lose: 2nd and Benjamin or Blackwell
Gain: Warnock

That looks a bit better.

No chance of two picks prior to the "lockout" drafts.
