with pick 39 at the 2019 AFL Draft, they secured a youngster with an insatiable appetite for the contest. Warner attacks the ball and opponents with aggression and is relishing calling midfield bulls Josh Kennedy and Luke Parker

I watch Chad play and his general demeanour on the ground and in the rooms, and I just don't see any evidence at all that he has any intention of leaving this year or next. He looks like he is having the time of his life on the field.

I actually love watching interviews with him, because he's got the cheekiest smile, and is always happy. And watch him around the other players, so much love there!

100% his manager said "park the contract, play well and get an extra year or 100k out of them"

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Chad will probably leave eventually lets hope he is close to 30 when he does like Hanners eventually went back to Melbourne.

 

[Kiama Chris]

100% his manager said "park the contract, play well and get an extra year or 100k out of them"

If his manager is smart he wouldn't put it as baldly as that. More like:
"Forget about contract stuff this year. Enjoy your footy, win a premiership and the rest will take care of itself.".
He's playing in Sydney next year. He would cost too much in picks and/or players while still in contract.
2026 is another question but too far away to get worked up about.

Same thing tbh

Got a bit of the downhill skiier about him does our Chad

Think that's the wrong term his 4th quarter heroics have been massive.

Imagine Warner in a Geelong or Brisbane side.

 

[tombomb]

He's not an inside midfielder.

If they keep play him like that then these performances will happen over and over again.

Same with Gulden.

You obviously don't watch too often , maybe downhill poster

 

[Tedeski]

Hope he stays & we can add some inside grunt. Curious to see how Sheldrick goes there with Chad on the outside. Time to have a look at a new combination.

I watch enough to know I’ve never read anything insightful from you, ever.

He is not backing up the swagger in big moments right now at the very least.

He seemed to think he had so much space and time yesterday and lacked real awareness.

In his defence, there was no one giving him options up forward when he got the ball

Yes and No, I am not rewatching, but I remember a couple of gathers where he only just realised a Lion player was on him and had to panic kick

Ive watched twice , he had no help , wow Adams would've been handy to extract and play on Neale

 

[bedford]

That's all i need to know see you later

 

[The King!]

Again another favourite . I did rewatch it , Warner was playing like he had all the time in the world , no awareness.

Agree re Adams

Maybe we can drop the Giga
Warner tried his guts out but they prepared so well

 

[The King!]

Maybe we can drop the Giga

I'm agnostic on that

Yeah Chad was awful in the QF against the Giants with all those clearances.
