yeah I saw that as well, I would think perhaps a trade for Hughes, the lad hasnt done a hell of a lot since being drafted with quite a wrap as a small defender/mid with grunt and a good kick

Oops! I've now added the BF link in the OP. Hawthorn are showing interest in Farmer as well apparently.



Number   13
Height   180cm
Weight   77kg
DOB   04-01-1989

Junior Clubs: Craigieburn
Recruited from: Calder Cannons, VIC
Clubs: Port Adelaide (2007 National Draft, pick 49)
AFL Debut: Round 18, 2008 v St Kilda @ Etihad Stadium

Progressed dramatically in his first season with the Power, starting the year with Sturt in the SANFL where he made a good impression and then playing three AFL games from rounds 18-20. A tough and feisty half-back in the Michael Wilson mould, he is a mid to long-term prospect, but gave an indication of his potential with 14 disposals and five marks against Carlton in round 19.

Farmer fits a need we have. We have struggled to develop a small defender to take on small forwards. In his draft year Farmer was highly rated. I would do a straight trade for either Hughes or Schulz but no picks.

I saw Farmer play in the U18 champs for Vic Metro against SA at Princes Park in 2007. In the same team as Cotch. He had an impressive game playing out of a back pocket. No real tricks but looked a natural footballer as far as reading the play, clean skills and rebounding from defence. It was a wet day so the weather suited smalls.

"Farmer - was the surprise packet today in a back pocket/small rebounding defender role. Totally dominated back there and got a heap of it."

He's small (180cm, 77kg) which would be the knock on him and has only put on a kilo in 2 years since the U18s. Not sure what Port have done development and conditioning wise. You would've thought 80kgs would be his AFL playing weight for his height.

Could be a swap for Hughes or Schulz.

This is really funny as they have said that he is a small forward at 180cm.
When I was a young fella that was a ruckman now can only manage to be a small forward.
I'm 178cm so what section would I be classed as a shrimp forward.
When I played as a kid I was a ruck rover then on the wing. And I was one of the talls then.
How times have changed.
