Farren Ray


H_T

Recommended Posts

Rumour is doing the rounds he has met with Melbourne for some testing...

Previously started his career at the Western Bulldogs, and has played a large chunk of games at St Kilda, under Lyon. Went early in the draft at the Bulldogs.

I really don't like him as a player. From what i see, i think he is just a spud, turns it over all the time and i think he is just a nothing player. no for me

And there it is!

Farren Ray makes Cale look big boned and Jack Watts a terrier.

Deck chairs shifting...

The wife's a St. Kilda fan so I've seen a fair bit of him over the last few seasons and I reckon he'd be a very handy player.

No world beater, but a very solid midfielder/HBF.

After Lenny Hayes and Brendon Goddard Ray was the next player who nearly got the Saints over the line in the 2010 drawn Grand Final with a great shut down game on Dane Swan after half time when Clinton Jones had no impact on him in the first half.

Farren Ray in the team would put the heat on someone like a Jordie McKenzie to lift his game to stand in the 22 IMO. I'd be happy to secure him for the right price. 3rd round draft pick at the most.

So you leap from an internet rumour to an MFC footy department decision?

I love and hate this time of year, both at the same time.

Just use the ignore function.

And I don't mean in your brain, I mean the software the forum runs on has an 'ignore function'...

He doesn't offer much more than channelling 'Henny Penny'...

At least at 26 Ray has a few years of footy ahead of him unlike Rodan, Lynch, Byrnes etc. But the quick fix approach we seem to be adopting is concerning.

I don't think we're adopting anything like quick fix "Tony", we haven't signed any or these players. It's all rumour.

I'd prefer to have champion players from other clubs lining up to join us, but I'm of the opinion that we don't appeal as a club to many players, let alone champions. Money (in copious amounts)would seem the only way to attract one or two of these.We need fixing, there is no doubt about that. Taking 'good, ordinary players' might be looked at as a 'quick fix', but there is little wrong with that. Being more competitive, winning more games, giving supporters some hope rather than the gloom and doom we currently experience week in and week out, would have to be better.It's hard work following Melbourne at the moment. I'm prepared to support anything the club tries to improve our stocks.

Ive heard this rumour - someone claims to have seen him there firstly meeting with us and then having some sort of testing via trade radio and facebook pages (which are often just total bulldust)

I dont really have an opinion on this one - he has speed and good disposal so they would be pluses. But he comes across as a little bit of a Jack Watts type to me.

Except we have no confirmation on any of these players yet, so the notion of a quick fix is baseless.

WJ posted something regarding an MFC function that he attended recently. That at least gives some concept that that the club is not taking scattergun approach and has something in mind here.

Edit: Beated to the punch by Rjay! :)

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
