The Wiz was down supporting the boys at training in perth yesterday. gotta say i have always had a soft spot for the wiz. was my favourite player all time and i recon if he stayed with us he would have become dynamic!

Crying out for a Wiz reincarnation right about now. One of the best to watch ever, will never forget when he kicked 8 in the second half against the pies.

Definitely a bad career move to go back West and it was a pity there wasn't much scrutiny about the offer he took to go back to the Dockers. He was certainly our last marquee player and we didn't get enough back in the trade deal when he left.

Incidentally, I believe the Wizard already had a young son when he joined the MFC. I wondered if he's turned out to be as talented as his dad?

 

What a player. His bag of tricks was as big as I've seen.

The last genuinely exciting, turnstile-clicking player the MFC have had. And he left in 2001.

What about Jurrah?

He only went home due to family problems, sad really as he had more problems once he did on and off the field..good to hear he was down supporting the boys.

 

its always family :mellow:

I think it was 9 goals in the second half actually! Yeh was the most exciting half I've seen from a demon


One of my favourite moments came in 2000 in an innocuous 76 (edit - 83) point thrashing of the Dockers.

We won the ball out of the middle, Jeff led for it to take a chest mark about 35 out directly in front. Too easy.

Jeff dropped the mark yet proceeded to paddle the ball in front of him toward the boundary.

Probably without a single thought of getting a better angle, Farmer dribbled it the entirety of the way to the boundary line before taking control of the ball, completing a half-turn and drilling the goal from 40 out hard against the boundary with pressure.

One of the more ridiculous, miraculous things I've seen - yet it wasn't a surprise.

It's funny what you can find in google, I typed in Jeff Farmer's sons and came across this article:

Jeff Junior is 13 so pencil him in for the 2016 or 2017 draft hehe.

"Even though he's now got a taste for acting, Jeff Jr has another interest that may [censored] up the ears of AFL talent scouts."I've been trying to focus on football really,' he said."

Jeff played 118 games for MFC and 131 for Freo. They would be eligible for father/son at both clubs.

And now the Wiz plays works in the Pilbara and plays for the mighty Wickham Wolves.

Hats off.

Even better! Can't see anyone on our list doing that in the near future...

Does he still kick a few?

Does he still kick a few?

Don't know how he goes, but since the Wolves have been on the bottom of the ladder, and forfeited games in 2011, he is probably not dominating.

Robbed of mark of the year. They didn't want to give him both awards I reckon.

What about Jurrah?

With just the 35 games I guess he'll remain with an *asterisk* next to his name as a 'might've been' until further notice.


Evidence:

Compare this mark

With this one...

'98 round 22?

Its weird thinking he played more games at Freo! I cant really remember him playing in a Freo jumper.

His football was 100 times better at the Dee's! Was sad too see him move west.

 

Loved the moment early in his career when he took a mark in the goal square surrounded by opposition (Richmond) players and handballed to a very surprised Gary Lyon

A lot of excitement and fan raving in that short time though! I'm sure there were at least a few people who were swayed by the thought of watching Liam in action

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
