Robert Warnock (born 19 January 1987) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Fremantle Football Club and Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). A very tall tap ruckman, at a height of 206 cm, Warnock played TAC Cup football for the Sandringham Dragons. He was recruited to the AFL by the Fremantle Football Club with the number 42 draft pick in the 2005 AFL Draft. Warnock played the entire 2006 season with his assigned WAFL club, West Perth. He made his AFL debut for Fremantle in Round 6, 2007 against the Brisbane Lions. Warnock was regarded as one Fremantle's key future prospects, averaging ten hitouts per game in his first season of senior football, and being awarded the Beacon Award for the best new talent at the 2007 Doig Medal awards night.〔(Fremantle List of Club Awards )〕 However, in 2008 he struggled to break into the side, playing only two of the first ten games as Fremantle preferred to select Daniel Gilmore, Michael Johnson or Kepler Bradley ahead of Warnock as Aaron Sandilands' ruck partner.〔Hope, Shayne; (Warnock left out of Freo squad again ); The West Australian; 2008-05-16〕 This led to media speculation that he would return to Melbourne at the end of the season,〔Niall, Jake; (Dees head list for Freo ruckman ); ''The Age''; 2008-04-29〕 and Warnock confirmed this at the end of the season.〔AAP; (Freo's Robert Warnock wants trade back to Melbourne ); PerthNow; 10 September 2008〕 On the final day of 2008 trade week, Warnock was traded to the Carlton Football Club, his preferred destination, along with Fremantle's No. 69 draft pick, in exchange for Carlton's No. 24, 56 and 72 draft picks in the 2008 AFL Draft. Warnock was struck down by stress fractures in his foot during his first pre-season with Carlton, and missed the majority of 2009. He eventually played a handful of games with Carlton's , the Northern Bullants, late in the season, but did not make his debut for the Blues. He made his senior debut for the club in Round 1, 2010 against Richmond. Warnock played twelve matches for Carlton in 2010 during the season, and was forced to compete with Sam Jacobs, a similar style of tap ruckman, for a place in the senior team. Jacobs was traded to at the end of the 2010 season, and Warnock assumed the No. 1 ruck position on a permanent basis in 2011, playing twenty games.〔AFL Tables, (2011 Stats - Player Lists - Carlton ), Retrieved 19 Sep 2011.〕 He was delisted in October 2015.
