Robert Warnock (born January 19, 1987) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
He was recruited as the number 42 draft pick in the 2005 AFL Draft from the Sandringham Dragons. Warnock played the entire 2006 season with West Perth in the WAFL as a ruckman. He made his AFL debut for the Fremantle Dockers in Rd 6 2007 against the Brisbane Lions.
He is regarded as one Fremantle's key future prospects, averaging 10 ruck hit outs per game in his first season and being awarded the Beacon Award for the best new talent at the 2007 Doig Medal awards night.[1] However in 2008 Warnock has 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.[2] This has lead to media speculation that he will return to Melbourne at the end of the season.[3]
