    Wow, so my mate that goes to training and suggested early on that  Farmer wearing 48 was a very good indication he would be added to the list was proved correct. No surprise that "Turner" who casually scrolled past on some socials and didn't exactly stop for a forensic analysis was underwhelming. 

    I know I'm prone to a few barbs at some posters on here and everyone is entitled to an opinion, I'm sure many have an opinion of me. All I can say is Welcome to the Best Club in the AFL KOBE FARMER!!

    Yeah, yeah sure. I must have missed the other "train - on" player.

    Unconvincing isn't it?!

    If you listen to Ben Gibson on the latest "Gus and Gawny" it explains everything.

    Jeff Farmer, who was the first indigenous AFL player to kick 400 goals, was drafted in an exchange for Phil Gilbert! Maybe draft position is only a moderate predictor!

    Is inclusion of a player in the photo a definitive indication that they will be given a spot on the list?

    No.

    The way I look at it is they've taken team photos with Kobe and Deakyn in it. If selected by the Dees then they'll release the ones they are in. If not selected, then they will only release the photos whatever ones they are not in.

    They would have taken team photos with both kids from an individual and also both at once.

    Brown was in surgery. But why no Pickett?

    Shock horror, I'm sure there are no examples of outstanding players not taken in the first round :)  Gee, if I could only think of even one...

    Ok, I'm always happy to be proven wrong and own the mistakes I make and obviously missed Deakyn also being in the team photo.

    Lets be real. We had both the Wagners on our list for 3 years. Surely Kobe Farmer, son of a great gets a gig for a year??

    Poor logic, D.Reemer.  If we based recruitment on being a son of a great, we'd currently have Jake Lovett and Garry Lyon's three boys on the list. 

    I'm only interested in Kobe if he's up to AFL standard.  His breeding is irrelevant.

    Also you don't want to lower the bar for Father Son selections, they need to earn their spot not just given it.  

    What ever happened to the Clubs Father/Daughter Academy.

    It's only a rookie spot, so it's worth a crack. If he doesn't improve then we part ways. But I'd like him to have the year to prove his worth. Next year Woey's son is in the draft and I hope we take him too. He's supposed to be very good.

    I hope we take him but only if he is good, not because of his bloodlines.

    We haven’t won many, but that one certainly was gold

    I wonder if  indigenous players  are more likely to have father son go on to play AFL  if someone could research to find out

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
