    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.

    Link?

    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.

    • 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.
