We must get Warnock!!!

[dutchy12]

doesn't want to play with melbourne?
is that true?

i like the athletical hampson+kreuzer combo better than two big men combo with kreuzer+warnock.

we are interested in warnock as ratten has confirmed while on 'on the couch'.

I agree. Why doesn't he want to play with us?

Yes i Know were shit.

Given Goldstein's emergence I think we could maybe trade a Carrazzo and something else for David Hale. Hale's had a bad year but I think his track record speaks for itself.

My first target would be Warnock though.

I wouldn't mind Hale - is as dangerous as most ruckmen when resting up forward.

North are normally pretty rational in pricing their players come trade time and they need midfielders. We might get Hale for Carrazzo and an early second round pick from another club, obviously you'd need to trade a player like Russell to get that and probably downgrade a pick.

Peter Street is an interesting one. I think we could get him for a fourth round pick and he'd be a good stop-gap measure.

 

[TheHeatleyStand]

Brogan , Street??????

Are you guys nuts??????



More ruck potatos......


You know we almost gopt Laide last year on a three year contract too....

Almost had Knobel....

We got Cain Ackland on a three year contract.....

Theyre all crap!!!

There is only one ruckman youd even look at... WARNOCK!!!

Apparently has nothing to do with Melbourne, but is more related to not playing with his brother.

ummm Hale's having a fine year, possibly the best year of his career in fact maybe think before you type next time ?

For once i'm agreeing with you. And don't worry, the club does too.

What does Brogan do for our long term future except give away a 3rd round pick (and lucky if you could get him for that) that could be utilized on a decent young player?

Warnock is tall, and can get those hitouts down - that's the department we're currently lacking in. Added to that he is young and could have a very big future. He would be perfect.

Maybe think before you choose a club to support next time?

 

[jonoman89]

I think Warnock would be an absolutely massive edition to our side. I'd give our 2nd round pick + Russell for him. Chuck in Carrazzo for free

Has anyone considered trading Hammer for him? They are pretty similar in age and Warnock is already a solid ruckman....

I think Freo would give up Warnock for Hammer as a straight swap.

 

[Bring-Back-Powell]

If we could get Warnock with our 2nd pick, I'm all for it, but I know Melbourne will get him without a doubt - Waste of talent at that useless club.

Way to kick a club down when its on its knees

totally disagree with your assessment of his year.

 

[gbatman]

Warnock in, cloke out... I'd go for that but not at a great cost...

Don't forget McLaren - what a gun pickup he was ??

 

[bLuEbOy1984]

Operation David Mundy and R. Warnock should be high on the carlton priorities list

 

[stui magpie]

Actually Peter street is a very good idea. He got 52 hitouts in the VFL last week and would last at least 3 years as he is quite young. Would at least win the hitouts.

I actually think Street would be a good fit for you. He has serious deficiences, but you had success with a similar type in Justin Madden for years. The advantages would be he'd be cheap, can win hitouts and is a different style to Cloke and Kruezer so would compliment them. You could play him on and off the bench while letting Kruezer and Cloke rest up forward.

If ratten tries to speed Kruzers development by continually playing him in the ruck at his age, he's going to break the kid. (defence points to Josh Fraser as exhibit A)

 

[pinkus maximus]

his value is high. on talent/potential he is pretty close to leuenberger

if he does say he is leaving i really hope you and a couple of other clubs come in with offers. it would make me sick seeing him go to melbourne for nothing

Oh please.

 

[Bluebear]

Mmm yes, the benefit of hindsight

Quite right.

Not all of us are visionaries.

[pinkus maximus]

Oh please.

why is that so hard to believe?

their game styles are almost identical, same size, skill level, agility, marking etc. the only difference was warnock was not as physicaly developed at the same age, hence his low draft position

 

[koutamarto]

there is no way we need another young underdeveloped un-proven ruckman.
Jeff white seems to be out of favour @ the dees, we should go after him, while kruz and hammer develop.

My instinct is to allways ignore a pie followers thoughts, my problem here is that you make sence, i dont think street will ever be a madden, but with what is out there in the ruck steaks at the moment he is imo a real option, and the Kruzer issue is totaly correct.

 

[Big Red is back]

Hampson + Bentick/Russell for Warnock

 

[Bluebear]

Hampson + Bentick/Russell for Warnock

You jest.

Jeff White: 195cm 97kg. 2008: 12 games at an average of 18.7 hitouts per game.
Cam Cloke: 196cm 103kg. 2008: 14 games at an avergage of 11.7 hitouts per game.

How much in terms of trade is 7 hitouts a game worth? (Bearing in mind he has played less game than Cam this year and due to age is likely to play even less next year.)

Peter Street!
