Back to footy boys.

What are the thoughts on young Farmer? Anybody seen him train? He is clearly very slight and not another Wiz, but hopefully  has the talent and application to make the list, to give him the time to develop under AFL coaching and conditioning.

Like the majority I have not seen him so I will have to accept the FD decision on him and if he gets a spot we will see. Having said that he looks very thin. If you are short or thin in today's football World to make it at senior level you have to be very good. Is he very good? The fact no one drafted him tends to suggests he is not. But a few make it after missing the draft. Quite a few high placed draftees don't make it so time will tell.

Weid has played 44 games of a possible 113 and will now miss 3 months because of another injury.

I am starting to worry about him.

I have an associate- related to the lads lass.

He wears an apron and collects dishes at BBQs.

He brings the Aunt a cup of tea-and waits on guests.

Its a worry.

How many games played of available ( when not injured is the critical figure but you left that out for Whatever reason ) ???

I agree this injury puts pressure on Sam but if ever he is hogging to make it this year is his best chance.

I have faith that given a chance he will respond but at best now he may not be to convince Club other than a one year contract extension or even a rookie chance.

Heres hoping Sam can show he is good enough.

Suggest you alter the facts Biff and if that was your son doing that what would you say?  Being a good son or Imply that it does not mean he can't play footy (and you know it! )

The reason I left it out was the very reason for the post. He is often injured and not available and that is the very point, not that he doesn’t have ability.

Nevertheless you could have actually crunched your point with the stats on injury games missed.
Nothing like  a fact or two to back up your opinion  !!!

Well I will be happy for you to put up those stats as I don’t have them. I would suggest though off the top of my head, that he missed most of his chances at senior games through injury, rather than poor form. 
Here is a fact, players who can’t get on the park continually, have short AFL careers.

Yes the numbers run out of time or get second chances at other Clubs and Sam Is getting to that stage.

Would like to see this year Sam have a solid run at it especially with BBB and Some other forward options Creating a potential mix Needing some defensive depth to contain.

Ultimately the no of games and goals will decide Salem's fate in 2021 or later. 

Which was the original point .

Except Salem gets on the park and gets a kick every week.

Biff that was a typo error. I am a great Salem fan and reckon he may get to an A  grade if he continues going on from late games last year with his impact and pressure.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
