| War looms for Robbie Warnock
A Victorian, Warnock was a third-round pick and No.42 overall pick in the 2005 national draft. His older brother, Matthew, is at Melbourne. Last season, the Dockers secured lead ruckman Aaron Sandilands to a $2 million deal for four seasons and keeping the gifted Warnock is now a priority signing. Victorian-based clubs are already clambouring for his signature, with Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton the frontrunners. Fremantle contracts manager Steve Rosich confirmed yesterday the club was keen to re-sign the gifted Warnock. "Robert is a priority, but it's not our club's policy to discuss player contract issues through the media,'' Rosich said. Warnock will become football's next version of former Eagles champion Chris Judd, who reportedly left WA for personal and family reasons, but headed to Carlton with a massive financial lure in the region of $7.5million for five years.

Hillary's Mutnemom!
It's come to this: Counterproductive overspinner Chris Lehane and his firm get $100,000 a month (according to S.F. Chronicle's Matier & Ross) to craft mindlessly combative sound bites for Hollywood studios in their dispute with the Writers Guild. Sample sound bit (after union president Andy Stern severed ties with Lehane): "The real issue here is that Stern needs to do some explaining on how it is that he is fighting for people who make more than doctors and pilots against the interest of real working-class people (set workers and others who have been sidelined during the strike) - and less time punching at shadows." I dunno. That one was worth maybe only $99,000. ... But hey, you have to hit back! It's the Lehane way. Ask President Gore. [So now that people who buy you dinner are on strike, you're suddenly pro-union?--ed No.
