He looks very, very skinny and young.  But if that's the main reason he's been overlooked it makes sense to see what happens to his body with even a couple of months in the system.

There's little point leaving a spot vacant for a year.

The Kobe Farmer story has been shrouded in a bit of mystery from my perspective. A few months ago, the word was that he was likely to go to Freo as a father/son or NGA ahead of Melbourne. Then he suddenly appears here in early December, nominates for the draft and misses out entirely.

Our romantic side tells us it would make a great story. The return of the prodigal son of one of our legends is here to mesmerize us with the same magical exploits of his father. I hope it happens but a couple of things do bother me — why have the Dockers fallen off Kobe and by the way, did I miss something else like his measurements? 

It took a bit of searching but I eventually found these statistics from the Peel Thunder site. They appear to be recent and, if correct, put him at 2cm shorter than Kozzie. The stats suggest he has an uphill battle to make the grade. Caleb Daniel at 168cm is the only player in the AFL shorter than him and even Brent Daniels is taller at 170cm but they are both extremely accomplished players. Anyway, good luck to him!

My observation has Kobe pushing 178cm. 

Jeff was 175cm in his playing days. And in a recent photo with his father, Kobe is definitely taller...

Are you serious "My Observation" ? You may as well say "Max Gawn is listed at 208cm but my observation when he was standing next to Steven May is that he is pushing 215cm"

Some of the comments on Demonland are as kooky as the climate deniers or those claiming 5g causes covid.

How about we go with the information on his Club's site which lists him at 169 cm.

There’s no evidence to say that 5G didn’t cause Farmer’s height gain 


When I was at the MFC the players were listed at heights that were not only incorrect but under there actual height because they were never measured again from the time they were recruited making match ups difficult for the other clubs, only there weight was measured.

I will go with ‘MY OBSERVATION’.
178cm it is...?

I’d love him to play for us, he’s obviously good but is he great like his dad?

his dad wasn't great when we drafted him tho was he, development takes time and with ooze and chocco onboard we might see some of that actually happen next year


I think he’s a long shot and nothing more. If he didn’t have the Farmer name I doubt we’d be giving him a trial. It would be great to see a Farmer running around in the red and blue but I won’t be holding my breath.

Does Williams have indigenous heritage himself and/or has he got a good track record of understanding and getting the most out of players with an indigenous background? 

I'm genuinely interested.

 Has developed and nurtured Peter and Shaun Burgoyne, Daniel Pearce and a couple others through his time a Port Adelaide.

I would say there would be more at GWS and Richmond for sure.

Your making this stuff up. You may as well say Clarkson (Franklin, Williams, Rioli) or Leigh Mathews (White, Johnson, McGrath) had "special" talent for developing Indigenous players.

Fact is Pearce & the Burgoynes were very talented players & would probably have succeeded anywhere.

Im glad we have Mark Williams because he has a reputation of being good at developing young players regardless of their background.

No he was bloody good. His nickname the Wizard came from a melbourne recruiter who watched him tore it up at junior level.

How can i be making this stuff up? Didn't they play under Mark Williams?

So they didn't make their names under his tutelage?

The Burgoyne Brother were premiership players under Chocco and according to you had nothing to do with their development.

Daniel Pearce was actually a promoted from the Rookie list so he must have had an influence on his career you would think CF.

Your kidding yourself CF.

Have a think about what you say before you go posting champion.

It seems we both agree that Williams is good at developing young players.

My point was about suggestions that he has some special skill or track record for developing indigenous players.

I pointed out that there is nothing special about Williams in that and plenty of coaches (Clarkson, Mathews) also have good records of developing young Indigenous players.  You could add Sheedy, Hinkley and Mark Thompson.

I'm okay with him getting a shot as the last player on the list if he has some potential. The issue becomes when we give a bloke a shot, then keep him on the list for way too long (eg Bedford & Chandler).

Poita they have had 3 games btween them!!!

Have been at Club for 2 years one which  the Club played about 3 games of footy in other than Seniors. Give them a chance! 

Has there been any official article other than what’s on the Peel Thunder website giving Farmer’s statistics? Height? Weight? Etc?

Nothing at all. Even the full draftee list on the Herald Sun doesn't have heights.

Yes, Whispering_Jack went digging as he was also interested. Below is his post from a page back.

On TV the other night was taller than his father. Not 169cm any more.

 

Signings for rookie spots are available until March  9th. Williams will no doubt have a close look from a potential development perspective and a decision will be made one way or the other. Young Kobe will no doubt give it his best shot.  Worth a try. 

Its obvious that we are going all out to get a couple of gun smalls into the team.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
