Passed away after a battle with Alzheimers disease.

Condolences to his family.

A player who re-defined what a ruckman was. One of the all-time greats.

Rest in peace big fella.

    • ding changed the title to Vale Graham "Polly" Farmer.
     

    Had plenty of heroes to pick from as a Demon fan in the early 60s

    But it was easy to Include Polly in the list of players you wanted to be like

    As a battling bush Ruckman for 25 years the best compliment you could ever give me was ( you played a bit like Polly today)

    I have seen every great and dominant ruckman since the early 60s including Schultz, Nicholls, Sampson (ess), Dempsey, Moss, Teasdale (he really was great in one year), Baker,  Scott, Madden, Madden, Stynes, Sandilands, Cox, Maxie and others.

    Graham "Polly" Farmer was better than all of them. He could match any of them them for pure ruckcraft and footy skills and then added his own special dimension to his team and to the game.

    Our great game is in mourning today for one of its exceptional champions. Vale Graham "Polly" Farmer.
