Koby Farmer

I shook my head at this, scrolled down to see the pic with Jeff, then went back to the top... I reckon you're spot on here dazzle!  Very interesting indeed.

    Yes

    I'm happy to sound dumb here, but he is eligible to be drafted this year isn't he?  Or is it 2021?

    It could be

    1) that he is over here visiting his dad and the club has done the right thing by inviting a potential father/son draftee to train with us knowing that he is 99.5% certain to join Freo

    2) he has flipped and chosen us which has blind sided freo

    3) Freo have told him that they won't pick him. He hasn't set the world on fire recently playing for peel thunder colts.

    Interesting to compare the leg muscle definition of ANB with Baker's in similar running poses. And comparatively, Petracca has a six pack while Oliver's body looks a bit more like a white wine cask.

    I’m sure the club would have an interested eye on Kobe. Once the kid compares our facilities to Freo’s I’m guessing he’ll stick with WA

    While doing some sessions while not officially at the club so not using the AAMI Park facilities?

    While I understand that training starts next week and will be at Casey for the next year, I’m unable to find where It has been announced by the club. Someone said Mahoney mentioned it in an interview but I can’t find where.

    Can anyone point me to an announcement about this?

    key-dates-for-melbourne-s-off-season

    • First-to-four-year players return to training: December 7 – 18
    • Main group returns to training: January 6

    Not entirely sure but I think those dates are mandated by AFL/AFLPA.  Altho clubs would have players working on individual fitness programs months earlier

    ps. Cute dog!

    Thanks for that, LH. I was aware of the dates, but what I’m trying to find out is where someone from the club has said that our training will be based at Casey for the next 12 months, and not at AAMI.

    And yes, he is cute...

    I see.  Haven't seen anything official.

    The closest 'official' thing I can think of is the ads for Development Coach, VFL Coach and the Volunteer Pathway all showed Casey as the location.

    edit: just checked:

    aflw program at aami

    afl,vf,vflw program at casey

    Good luck to him if he wants to play for the Dockers, he'll know exactly what it used to feel like playing for Melbourne.

    I thought the Wiz was living in Perth as well, if there's an opportunity to do this are we able to get him playing for either Casey or a Victorian TAC team? If he is interested in playing for the Dees then it would be good if he could have some kind of involvement in the club. That said I'd also be mindful of putting too much pressure on the kid, for me I felt taking Jesse away from his home environment a year early was a mistake for his mental wellbeing. Hopefully he's just enjoying getting to know some of the lads.

    I think its been well documented for a number of years now that Wiz has been living in Melbourne for the past 5 years..

    At last... the training protocols.....

    "Clubs will be able to train without restriction when outdoors after players and officials underwent another round of COVID-19 testing on Thursday and Friday.

    Industry sources said players would only be required to follow the rules imposed by their state governments when away from the club.

    All officials and players will still need to be screened and temperature tested before entering the club, meetings held indoor will have their numbers limited and each session should be restricted to within an hour.

    Testing is unlikely to occur weekly, but a COVID-19 compliance officer will still need to make risk assessments to determine how regularly particular individuals need to be tested."

    Good to see Oscar getting stuck in - I have high hopes for him.

    Deebug, I am referring to the Ginger/Sauce variety of Oscar.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
