Surely until he is actually signed/committed via the draft, he could be anybody's player?

If anything, it should be better that he is getting extra development with Freo's next generation academy and will be further advanced in the event that the MFC can snag him.

Wiz on at the 4 min mark. Has a few sherbets on board but pretty emotional about the Dockers.

Based on that you'd think Kobe will wind up at Freo if he is good enough to make an AFL list. Wiz talking about coming back to Freo now after 11 years, getting involved there again, his love for Freo, urging people to buy memberships and support Freo. Kobe lives there, his dad is now at Freo again, he'll go to Freo. Shame as he could've been what we needed - a small forward with a bit of magic!

Freo still have to match any bid made by other clubs, regardless of Kobe's wishes. Players have to know they could end up anywhere.

I would rather see him at Freo than have the go home factor play out for a few years from getting to us.

If he played the first half of his career for us then went home like his dad we'd probably be happier. Wiz's first 118 Melbourne games were better than his next 131Freo games imo.

Still gob-smacked with his talent as a footballer. He loved the Dees, but a calling-card back home was understandable as a career sunset. We all wished him well. He has stated on several occasions that if 'his boys' are good enough, they are Melbourne-bound if he has anything to do with it.

Nice but brief article here about Jeff and Kobe. Get the impression Freo are doing as much as they can to win him over to them, and they're probably in the box seat tbh, but at least they're leaving the door open somewhat.

“He’s in a very good position where he’s got two football clubs vying for him."

“At the end of the day, I want the best for him. Wherever he goes, I’ll be supporting him either way.”

Love this photo of them too...

Get the impression Jeff wants him to decide without any pressure.

He's the cream we have been searching for, come to the Dees Kobe.

We need a massive year in 2020 and a similiar year from Freo. Only thing is will Kobe have a support newtork in Melb if he comes over, compared to in Perth?

That will be the sticking point me thinks. Dees have to step it up to the maximum, maybe Todd Viney to look after him in his first 3 years.

Another Jeff Farmer quote from the article -  “If he keeps ticking the boxes, and keeps the guys happy at the football club…. It won’t be too long before fingers crossed he’s wearing the number 33 at the Fremantle Footy Club.”

He’s going to Freo. He already lives in WA and Freo have brought Jeff back to the club and started introducing Kobe to the club via training etc. It’s a shame we’ll miss out!

I don't recall that quote being anywhere in the article I posted. Would you mind posting a screenshot?
