I am bias against Warnock. I dislike what he has given this club.

Comments like this make me think you believe all red heads are the same.

Sauce had about 15 kilos on Phillips at the same age (Phillips is 24) and I honestly still think Jacobs is still a liability because he's the only regular lone ruckman in the league that doesn't directly improve his team's chances. Sandilands, Goldstein and Mumford dominate, while he helps Adelaide eek out a few extra premiership points on the aggregate due to an extra midfielder; he's not in the same class as them.

Could not give two shits about AA status, where are Adelaide despite his dominance? Mid-table, same as they have been for some time.

Could we have used Sauce during the year? Sure.
Would we have used him the way Adelaide used him? After about round 9, no.

For the record, Phillips is more athletic than Sauce, I just don't think he's a consistently good ruckman due to his lack of endurance. He tires easily, when he should be showing genuine improvement at 24. Sounds more like Warnock, doesn't it?

About time we showed some balls this time of year

No, Warnock just never put in on the field. Not sure if it was mental or attitudinal. He actually is fit testing high in beep tests. He just does not get to contests. In al the games I have watched him I did not see him in front of a pack taking a contested mark. Just watching the highlights of Phillips, you see him take marks in front of packs. His lumbering style reminds me of Jacobs not Warnock and at the age of 24 still has plenty of time to reach his peak.

If you could have a player parked in the shed to bring out at finals time you could do worse than Warnock, just ask West Coast!!!!

Yarran to Richmond for Lennon + pick 31 , pick 31 to Hawks for Anderson. Yay or nay?

I am another that can't believe the number of posters that cannot see what a unique opportunity these talented young athletic KP GWS players (Tomlinson and Plowman) present to our club to acquire relatively cheaply at the start of a long rebuild when we are virtual void of young key position talent. The draft is a crap shoot after the first couple of picks and these guys have shown they can play. I will be over the moon if we get them. In SOS we trust.
