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.

It was not that long ago people were saying the Dees would fall apart without Hogan. Glad to see they were wrong. I tend not to follow ex players as I lose interest once they leave the club. I mu

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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
