Robert Warnock (born 19 January 1987) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for 10 years in the Australian Football League (AFL) with Fremantle Football Club and Carlton Football Club
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 slipped to 42 in the draft due to his very light frame (80 kg). 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. He was awarded the Beacon Award for 'the best new talent' at the 2007 Doig Medal awards night.
Warnock had wrist surgery before the start of the 2008 season which delayed his start to the year. He played 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. Warnock returned to the team for the second half of the year but a shoulder reconstruction ended his season premature. After constant media speculation that he would return to Melbourne, Warnock confirmed this at the end of the season.
