This NIKE? The slave labor NIKE, or is it another one?

Nike and Coca-Cola Lobby Against Xinjiang Forced Labor Bill

Business groups and major companies like Apple have been pressing Congress to alter legislation cracking down on imports of goods made with forced labor from persecuted Muslim minorities in China.

 

 

Lebron James and many other 'woke' athletes make hundreds of million of dollars off slave labor and are held up as heroes by the usual dregs of society.

Hasn't stopped you  commenting on his selection Despite very little knowledge.

I can't remember also any time seeing on TV or live JJ but the noise and comment give me the abdolute confidence that we may have a new mid ( in or out) in our team this season and that is enough to get me excited for our improvement in 2021.

The irony of those two sentences.

I know so little about this bloke. 

Nobody knows anything about him really unless they watched a lot of Casey in 2019.   I remember he struggled quite a bit,  didnt get much of the footy.

Would be a fair effort if he was in the team for round 1.

  May should have been Vice Captain.

Plenty of sensible comments here regarding tempering expectations

More boring than sensible.

 The Rosman train is full steam ahead and the seeds of a cult hero have been firmly planted.  Nothing can stop the inevitable.

23 Brownlow votes in 187 games.  Got 5 of those votes with the Dees.

Thats woeful.  Trac almost had more this season alone. 

Kobe in the goals again.

I thought he was fairly serviceable last year. He's no star, but he appears to hold his own down back mostly.  

He did some nice things for sure.  This is likely his first ever preseason as a defender so that can only help.

Is Tomlinson definitely locked in as a defender now?  Is he really that good back there?

So Jordon is training as in inside mid..  I saw some posters have him in their Round 1 team, where would he fit?  We couldn't even fit Harmes on the midfield last season

This guy is the missing piece for us if/when he makes the grade.  If he arrives ahead of schedule and makes an impact this season we are in business.

Wrong it was 2016 he was playing quality half back footy. 

Wrong, it was 2017

I could reel off 10 names from the draft/state leagues that missed out who had far greater impact, but are imo better players in general then farmer. 

I could reel off half  dozen names on our current list i would gladly move out for Farmer to get a spot

No. But remember we've also lost Oscar McDonald & Josh Wagner, and we've not brought in any defenders.

We get back Petty and TMac should be used back there.

Think we will be fine.

I'm more than disappointed that he turned out a dud pick 1. We have a history, more than any other club of stuffing up our early draft picks. He is just one of many!

Relax, its not like we passed on Dustin Martin to pick him.

 Rioli actually got the ball, and kicked goals.

Funny thing is that Rioli didn't get a lot of the ball or kick a lot of goals.

Training gallery here.  Angus was training, good sign he will be ready for Round 1?

TRAINING GALLERY: MONDAY 25 JANUARY 2021

Cant be bothered doing a best 22 again but I would have Joel Smith in the team as the lockdown defender on small forwards, and Spargo will play Round 1.

I'm often wondering whether Cyril was an out and out super star or slightly overrated.

He definitely won some games for the Hawks, big ones too, but he was very quiet in a lot more games.

I think there's less and less room for players like that as each year goes by

 

 

He wouldn't have been as good in another team.  He played in a flag in his first season and ended up playing in a dominant Hawks era for his whole career.

He was a fantastic player, came along at the perfect time and was the cream on the cake of a great side.   

Overall  I would say he was overrated though.    Aaron Davey in that Hawks team would have been as good or better than Rioli.

They took Hannant like that from us. Unless the rules have changed.

They took him in the preseason draft though.

We just have to beat Fremantle Dockers for his services ... Dad is staying out of the decisions ahead regarding 'which' club - Dees or Freo. There is a challenge ahead to secure him using 'father and son' exclusivity so we must hope that as well as increasingly shining in his training and onfield roles, he must be 'won over' to the Red'nBlue ahead of the more localised (for him) enticements from the Dockers. Farmer1 and Jesse, now Farmer2 as well?

We cannot wear that...

He was overlooked in the draft so father-son rule is out the window now.

Can Freo even sign him if hes training with us?

The premiership 22. Think big !!! 

ANB, Hunt, Melksham, Lockhart and Tomlinson all in the team and too many inside mids.  If we win the flag it wont look like that.

Kobe Farmer, the son of beloved Demons great Jeff, is already making a good impression as he angles for a rookie berth ahead of 2021. The 170cm Farmer uses his nous as a clever small forward and was among the goals in match sim on Friday morning's searching session. – Michael Rogers

The lid is off now.

Wiz Junior!!!

Everyone asking about his height, hes a bit taller than Jeff in this video from 2019.  Jeff was listed at 175 cms when he played. 

There no way Kobe is the 169cms listed on the WAFL website,  that has to be a very old measurement.
