I don't think we would get their pick. They give up nothing (except money) it's the AFL who gives us a pick.Animal Enclosure wrote:Personally I'd much rather see BJ in yellow & black than red & black... their pick 9 would do nicely!

Re: Rumour Thread
A few on here were keen for us to pick up Charlie Riewoldt a couple of years back.
If he's still available we may be able to pick him up with our compensation pick![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)

Re: Rumour Thread
The thought of Warnock doesn't fill me with confidence.
Though, all that said...
What can Watters bring out of him?
That's the thing, he may be able to take a guy and motivate him to get the best out of himself.
He's done that with a few guys on our list this year.

Re: Rumour Thread
I'm really surprised Geelong would trade Simpson if he was any good. Their ruck division is terrible. Stephenson is a stop gap & very ordinary. Trent West is barely VFL standard.

Re: Rumour Thread
Scotty Watters is not happy with the mega bucks being paid to Riewoldt.
It is undermining the amount available to pay other players.
I admire the Collingwoods, West Coasts and Hawthorns.
They don't so much place a limit on the marquee players but they still need to be respected and valued.
It is a case of every single player needs to be valued and that is what builds a great club and a great team," he said.

Re: Rumour Thread
I keep hearing that rumor to, and I also hope that it is only a rumor but given that Watters wants another ruckman I reckon there might be something in it. Hope I am wrong.Teflon wrote:Warnocks a highly paid, injury prone dud please let this be rumour only

I love this club
Re: Rumour Thread
Depends what we give up for Warnock, he isn't a free agent so it wont affect the BJ compensation if BJ decides to leave. If we pay him a rookie wage, and give up 4th or worse pick or a player who we are going to delist anyway, I'd be saying great pick up in case there is an injury to a ruckman!
He wouldn't be on my radar, but if he came to us for nothing I wouldn't be upset.

Re: Rumour Thread
Isn't Warnock on 400k a year? I'd take him as backup if Carlton covered half his wage. He's a bit of a spud and not worth any more IMO.

Re: Rumour Thread
When up and running he is very handy (as far as ruckman go) and was very highly rated in the early years of his career.Teflon wrote:Warnocks a highly paid, injury prone dud please let this be rumour only

He had a pretty decent 2011 season - played 20 games (incl 2 finals) averaging around 12 disposals a game and 30 hitouts
He will 26 by the start of next season and really should only starting to mature as a ruckman that said he has had both shoulders operated on as well as hamstring and foot issues. (seems to be quite inury prone)
He re-signed with Carlton to a three year contract in July this year - so if he is available it seems Malthouse doesnt want him
Of course there are some better younger prospects around however if we are struggling to lure them from other clubs and Warnock comes us for a 4 or 5th round draft pick and if he agrees to half of what Carlton was paying him (reportedly around 400k a year) then he would be a better back up to McEvoy than Blake and Kosi in terms of rucking.
The Devil makes work for idle hands!!!

Re: Rumour Thread
He is one of those guys who looks like he will be good but doesn't show any actual evidence. Height and build don't make a player, he looks a dud and heard he was on more than that.

He is completely the wrong type of ruckman we need. I cant see how he and Ben could fit into the same side. Neither could really play forward for more than a few minutes a game.

Re: Rumour Thread
The idea of a guy who has a 3 year deal worth 400K PA at a club on the rise, agreeing to be traded to a rebuilding side for minimum wage is one of the most insane concepts I have heard, why would he agree to that?
Carlton would want at least a 3rd round pick for him too I'd imagine.

Re: Rumour Thread
Agree it is very out there as far as rumours go. Probably just from a SEN listening Blues supporter who isn't a fan and knows we'd love a backup ruckman!dragit wrote:The idea of a guy who has a 3 year deal worth 400K PA at a club on the rise, agreeing to be traded to a rebuilding side for minimum wage is one of the most insane concepts I have heard, why would he agree to that?

Whoever said it, Hickey is the one to watch, but would take a lot to get a promising Queensland young ruckman away from Gold Coast...
