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.

You tell me to use stats. I tell you I don’t have them. You then say I am the stats man. Moving on.

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.

What about Majak?

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.

TBH Majak is a bit of a tease. Really needs a ticket under him with greater urgency if he is to succeed.
