Plus 1.

Little Aussie Wonaeamirri as well.

Funeral for Kozzies mum is not until 5th of March.

You will cop some heat for this post above, but I agree wholeheartedly with everything you've said. Watch the likes of Carlton, Doggies and Saints speed right past us this year if not already.

Living in NSW I've really enjoyed the recent training reports. Such a shame and feel for all you Victorians currently going through lockdown.

But I am not saying he's pushing for round 1 now mate.. like all players on the list, no one is guaranteed a round 1 gig unless form warrents that during the pre season games. @Dannyz intel has been really good in the past, so I'm taking his word that Kobe has officially secured a spot on the list, but just waiting for the right time to announce it. If it was confirmed to Farmer last week then is it no coincidence that it's in line with Pickett being away in SA knowing it could be for a longer period of time? Bit that's me just spitballing personally. It's only my own personal opinion 'Bob'. For all we know Pickett could extend his leave further. Does Pickett being away on indefinite leave potentially give Farmer further chance of being on the list? Absolutely it does, you'd be silly not to think. Just like the whole Majak situation has given him a further chance in gaining a spot on our list due to our talls being unavailable come the early rounds. Farmer will earn his spot on the list through sheer hard work, but coaching staff will also take into consideration of Picketts current situation, especially if Kobe's given himself every opportunity to potentially play a NAB game or whatever it's called now. If he's ready to go then it certainly helps fills that void until Pickett is att ease in coming back to Melbourne.

Kozzy went up to SA about 2 weeks ago. It only came last week by Dannyz that it was pretty much a confirmation that Kobe has been offered a spot. Some people on here who have watched training would say that maybe Deakyn Smith was ahead of Farmer. But to Kobe's credit, he too has apparently trained extremely hard, and if he has made the squad, it'll be off the back of hard work. Hearing Richo say that Pickett may not be due back to the club until March means he'll be away from the club for over a month. While I'm sure he'll be training with with WWT in the SANFL he'll still need a few weeks to catch up to AFL fitness. In fact I personally think this puts him in doubt for round 1. I'm sensitive to Pickett's current situation due to my current role working with a lot of indigenous family, and the mourning process can at times extend further after the initial funeral. I'm glad he's getting the right support and me personally hopes he takes all the time in the world before he feels comfortable coming back to Melbourne. If Kobe's training form been strong as documented on here then I'm sure they'll look at him over the trial games etc, and who knows? Maybe he pushes his case for round 1? In saying that though there has been no confirmation at all about Kobe, so it's all speculation.

It was a brilliant explanation by Richo, and it made a lot of sense.

@Dannyz mentioned on here that Kobe has been offered a spot on our list. Just pending an announcement soon.

Let's be honest, doubt he physically burnt them.. just a throwaway line. What hasn't been mentioned so far is the pump up he gave Luke Jackson. Can't wait to see him play more games this year.

How do you not know that club provided little support? Do you have evidence to back that up? From all he reports he was provided with a huge amount of support alongside his partner and daughter. The WAGS at the club really made his partner feel at home in the Hub and coaching and welfare staff were able provide necessary support for him and his family.

Are you serious? How many more chances does he need? You do realise this [censored] cost the club 50k for not following simple lockdown rules and when the club tried to reach out to him for the concern of his welfare, he spat it back in our face and went on a drinking binge. There was a 1 year contract right in front of him and [censored] it away. I was all for supporting him at the start but good riddence to him. I'd rather bring in people who will bust their [censored] for this footy club.

Really sad about young Kozzy. Condolences to him and his family. As Richardson said, we are extremely lucky to have Mathew Whelan as a guide of support for Kozzy. The beauty about is that he's still training over there I'm guessing with a SANFL club. Great opportunity for the likes of Bedford, Chandler to stand up. Makes sense that there are rumours about offering Kobe Farmer a spot on our list.

With Garry and Tim. Not sure what time but will tune and hopefully gives us an update on Brown and Weideman. Admin edit: Audio included

How did he look physically mate? Doing a pre season for North Heidelberg is stark different to AFL. Makes you wonder how much catching he needs to do in terms of AFL fitness.

Wonder I'd they've mixed that up with Weideman?

Would be handy if he could recapture some of this form.

Thought he played his best footy down back imo.

Remember watching this game and thinking what a fantastic forward performance.

I believe he signed at North Heidelberg under Brent Harvey and has been doing a pre season there.

Don't mind this at all. At least we know fitness would never be an issue... ?

Well done girls! That was a fantastic effort!

I knew that, but what's that got to do with Kobe?
