so he's currently training with us; presumably on school holidaze visiting the old man?

Wow I am getting old and losing it. I was certain he had chosen freo already, was picked up last year and had been on their list for a full season.

    So hes training with us...  maybe just for the experience or maybe we are still in with a shot.

    No idea how good he is but I'm having serious fantasies about Pickett and Farmer becoming the most exciting small forward combo the league has ever seen.

    If he’s good enough to make AFL, he’s going to Freo. All the developments last year posted in this thread show he’s not coming to us. He already trains with them as part of their academy. He’s a Freo supporter. Nat Fyfe is his idol. He lives in WA with his family. His mother is a Freo supporter, has has health issues, and doesn’t travel to Melbourne anymore for health reasons. When Jeff was interviewed last year, he said he hopes Kobe plays for Freo and can wear his number 33.

    Regardless, he missed the U18 WA team and is speculative at this point.  The only way he’s coming to us is if he’s not good enough to be drafted and we grab him for nothing, in which case he’s not good enough so why bother.

    Jet Juniors can into Turkeys ala Toumpas and a lot of guys can make it later. Personally I'd love to have Jeff's son in the Red and Blue. I'd give the kid a go regardless of where he's at. As long as he wants to be in Victoria, and donning the Red and Blue.

    It would be great to have the Farmer name on the list again. But he has to have the talent. I’m not interested in the romance just for the sake of it.

    Maybe Kobe will be staying in Melbourne and completing his year 12 with a grammar school in 2021. This is just a guess. I could be wrong. I don't think he is here just for the school holidays.

    he nominated for the draft?

    How has he made it into Vic - thought the border doesn't open until the 8th?

    Today was the day for lodgement of the Final Draft Nomination Form and AFL Father-Son Bidding Nominations with the AFL. Therefore, if he’s coming aboard with us, we should know by tomorrow. 

    fingers crossed then.

    So his draft year is this year I take it? Always thought it was next year? The date of birth listed says he's 18 so makes sense if it's this year...

    Yes if that age is correct he will be in this draft

    But he hasn't had a single mention anywhere in the media or any phantom drafts, so I bet that DOB is incorrect

    Might be way off, but something seems a little secretive here. I think the club took down a photo on its socials and it's pre-season training article from the website that had him in it, could have sworn it was him. Now it appears he's nominated for the draft and no media has picked it up either...

    Yeah I think you are correct, for some reason I actually thought he had another year left to be drafted.

    My mistake

  • Quote

    He's definitely nominated, but probably hasn't got much press because he's not seen as a potential main draft pick, I'm wondering if we might nominate and hope there's no bids and he falls through to the rookie draft. Or if they were giving him one last chance, otherwise he'll probably play colts again in the WAFL and try again next year.

    IF      Kobe Farmer is currently in Melbourne training with the Demons with the draft just three days away...

    THEN     You can lock it in that he will be drafted to the club his father 'The Wiz' is still revered at and played in a Grand Final for

    What if he isn't AFL standard, do we still LOCK him in?

    This video clip says he's eligible in 2021... It says it in the last 5 seconds after saying he wants to wear a Freo jumper!

    He's listed in Herald Sun's list of players entered into this years draft. As he is 18, he may be eligible for this year. The above article was from 2 years ago and Freo may have told him they wouldn't take him.

    Freo also have at least 2 academy players who they'll take, and 1 is a small forward (Joel Western) so maybe Farmer just isn't a need for them?

    On memory it took his dad to settle down early on, if he's got his dad's smarts he'll make it.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
