his mum must look something like this because there isn't any other logical reason he's getting a game.

[eliminator]

Farmer was very poor against St. Kilda. Looked very slow and failed to man up

[Owl]

I like Farmer.

[Mr Magic]

Think he'll find himself back at Coburg this week with better options coming back into the side.

[the claw]

mitch farmer, ben mason, shane edwards are too small

I don't know how many times this needs to be disproved, but it has nothing to do with size, it's about quality

how many clubs play with the size of Nason, King, Nahas, White, Farmer, Edwards all in the one team. not many im guessing.

too many of the same in 1 team. open your eyes and you will see it too. It wasnt wet like last week it was a dry ground and we played too small.

FLMAO at Farmer replacing Schulz on our list. Schulz is actually a better player.lol

i call Farmer footsteps as every time he touched the ball he fumbles like someone who is going to bend him over from behind and pound his sorry behind

little limpgot. Dimma drop him and put us out of our misery

you can add cousins webberley and tambling to that lot as well. and foley as well when fit. wheres the quality take out cousins whos  a shadow of his former self  and its not only midgetsville its  mediocreville. then throw in the fact they are regularly going  in with just 6 talls it aint going to work. the only time its worked was in monsoonal conditions against port.

if the smalls were classy and damaging and could  find plenty of the ball you could live with a few extra smalls but they are none of those things they are in the main glass half fulls  and their size means far to often they cant even give a decent contest. the ones that do usually murder the ball.

we need to learn from other clubs and do what makes them successful. bigger stronger faster and skilled is something that regularly kills us.

theres nothing wrong with going into games with 3 or 4 smalls  even half a dozen as long as it doesnt detract from structure and they are quality. its bigger  players with bigger bodies that enable you to compete players like jackson and tuck who lack polish but do a job for you mainly because of their big bodies and in tucks case his ability to win the footy.

i keep saying it but imo in a purely height size scenario we need to be looking at a side that goes like this.

b/  newman/thursfield -  gourdis/thursfield - connors/tambling

we really dont have a need to play so many runts who are glass half fulls. theres 5 possibly 6 in that lot anyway.

forget about Morton Claw. Another Petrified Mark 2. Selfish player we dont need.

after seeing taylor today i would play him for the entire season and see how he goes. I mean guys like farmer are getting a go whilst playing poor so cant see no reason why he cant play the back half of the year.

think morton a talented player. i still think he should be transformed into a mid. but hes soft lacks a defensive side and with his attitude i dunno if these things can be turned around.  sort of in the same boat as tambling as far as development goes.  at 23 24  have to ask just how much can he learn and improve.

on taylor imo just to skinny atm was way out of his depth early on. has good skills and smarts dont think there is a need to rush him. needs to be able to compete physically to a degree.

Agree.
Dimma has thrown Morton the challenge. So far, not so good..

morton > Pettifer

Farmer happy drought is over

MITCH Farmer is symbolic of the rebuilding process that is happening at Punt Rd.

Traded by Port Adelaide - after playing just three games there in 2008 - as part of the deal at the end of 2009 that saw Jay Schulz leave Richmond and go to the Power, he has slotted in beautifully at the Tigers, missing just two games this season.

The 21 year old has impressed with his skills and his decision-making, and was again good in Sunday's win over the Sydney Swans, racking up 14 touches (five contested), laying three tackles, putting it inside 50 twice, kicking a goal and missing another after a four-bounce run through the middle.

The win is the Tigers fourth in the past five games, and lifts the Tigers off the bottom of the ladder, where they had been since round two.

Farmer said in the rooms after the match that it was hard to take it all in.

"It's surreal, to be honest - obviously starting off the season so poorly, we just stuck to our game plan and we can obviously see that it's starting to pay off," he told richmondfc.com.au after the match.

"We do what we've got to do in the game, and obviously the results speak for themselves.

"Four out of five - it's obviously a great achievement from where we've come from at the start of the year to where we are right now.”

The Tigers fell away badly in the middle of the second term, but got going again on the back of an Andy Collins goal midway through the third.

Small forward Collins was then knocked unconscious midway through the last term, but came back on to boot the final two goals of the match.

Farmer paid tribute to the 21-year-old when asked where the Tigers got their belief from to enable them to stand up and win it.

"Andy Collins, maybe? I don't know - like I said, everyone just stuck to the game plan and we just thought we had nothing to lose and everything to gain, so we just hit our kicks and did what we had to do, I guess.

"Andy has been really good the last couple of weeks - he's stepped up when we've needed him.

"He always puts in a four-quarter effort, but a couple of goals at the end there always helps.

"We've got another player up there, Ben Griffiths, who always provides a good contest for us, but Jack is on fire at the moment - he's leading the Coleman at the moment - so other sides are going to go to him more, so it's always good that we've got someone else to step up when we need them."

Has copped it unfairly on here for mine. Thought he was brilliant. Has alot to work on but I see a really really good player in him. Has great pace, good foot skills, plays with guts and a huge kick.

He had some clangers, with the fresh air hand pass and over running a ball which resulted in a goal but he works hard and is linking up perfectly and his inside 50s are really dangerous.

Great game tonight, wrapped for him.

[mat073]

Mitch is playing his part in Richmonds revival.

[mightytiges]

There was a moment in the last quarter in our forward line where he didn't go anywhere near hard enough at the ball which ended up in a Freo goal but overall he deserves his place in the side at the moment.

More a what are they doing at the moment post but anyway Mitch Farmer is catching up with ex-Port teammates in Adelaide and posting about it on his new twitter page.
