    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: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
