    I am never sure what answer is appropriate with negative questions.  So I will go with no. Or was that yes?

    Correct. Out in the media today saying he won’t be offered a position.

    Makes sense.

    I’m glad the club gave him a chance to prove himself but it appears he just didn’t show enough to warrant a spot. Pity, it would have great to see the Farmer name in the red and blue again.

    Let’s hope that if true, Kobe learnt through the club/coaches and not the media. I would also hope that players get some counselling and support after being cut or not offered a place. It’s still disappointing for the player that his expectations have not been fulfilled.

    He would have had to look pretty hard to find out via the media

    I Only found 2 references to Kobe in the past 12 hours one of them is a fox sports article simply stating the fact that he played last week with no update on his status

    https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-news-2021-majak-daw-melbourne-demons-list-spots-train-on-players-kobe-farmer-kye-declase/news-story/7f7c8c982519fdaf6c31f5bb7480717e

    The other is a Herald Sun article I'm pay walled from reading that Google quotes 'looks unlikely to receive a spot' which sounds like opinion and even if true is not really new information.

    Are you saying it's 'out in the media' already or it will be announced?

    Will not be offered a contract. The clubs preference is for him to go to the Stingrays for the season with no guarantee going forward.Would have been a great story but if his last name wasn’t Farmer he would not have been invited to train. Love that the club gave him the opportunity but if you are not good enough then you are not good enough.

    Thanks mate.  Hope that gives him a bit more motivation to prove the doubters wrong. I'm sure the club will still keep a keen eye on him.

    Makes sense we would advise him to get some more experience at a lesser albeit talented level.  Go away, work hard and if you are tracking well, there is a spot for you next preseason to prove yourself after a year more footy. The opportunity is there if he is good enough, obviously just not in 2021 at senior level for MFC.  

    Will definitely watch his progress with interest, i don't think we are giving up on this one just yet!

    Why wouldn’t you list him with Casey Demons (where we can keep an even closer eye on him and he would be training/playing with senior list players)? I am sure Casey players are outside our cap.

    I think they'll still be able to use him as the 23rd man, but another under age season (although as an overager), might be much more beneficial for him rather than just playing against full grown men.

    Yes, "toughen up" is working out great as a life philosophy for the over 2,500 men who commit suicide each year.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
