VFL Past #50: James Ferry

[BrunoV]

Surprised that he only had the ball 8 times.

The Bombers will be without James Ferry who injured his knee early in the first quarter on Sunday.

It’s disappointing because he is one of our better players and does impact forward or back,” Egan said.

“He’s a big loss, we haven’t got the full results back yet but hopefully it isn’t long term which it doesn’t look to be at this stage which is great news.

A small positive at least.

Fingers crossed.

I'm going to be cautiously optimistic then.

I suppose the silver lining is that it could help us get him cheap.

Egan on Bomber Radio stated he thinks Ferry is a good chnace to be drafted in the 2016 ND.

Ferry is a medium defender, yes?

sorry I read Francis. I think ferry is about 190 cm so prob isn't tall enough to be kpd in afl.

He's taller than 190. He's a good 6'4"

I agree with parishfanclub; Ferry would be no more than about 190.

Just checked. Lists him as 189cm.

Seen him side by side with Ambrose. Genuinely taller.

He's Goddard's size.

Listened to the VFL update purely as I was curious to listen to him talk.

He speaks well, my boy.

 

[eth-dog]

Pretty sure he's back this week. Will be useful considering Port have Lisle, Haretuku and Cook in the forward line.

 

[DHepp21]

Think he may be a chance to get drafted with a late pick or a rookie selection.

 

[BrunoV]

Yesterday was the first time I've seen him since his return from injury and he looked really good.

Took a few nice contested grabs, was cool with the ball under pressure, used it well and managed Kersten pretty well. One goal Kersten kicked was a 65m roost from the boundary and the other was a bit of bad luck when a really good spoil from Coghlan, I think, spilled into Kersten's path enabling him to run into an open goal.

Still very confident that he is an AFL standard third tall defender/half back.

There's no way he'll be picked up. Serviceable at vfl level, that's about it.

Most talented player on our VFL list.

Whatever happened to this bloke? Injured? no room and can't find him at local level football? (VFL list has local club as Gisborne)

Probably injured, as I can't see any reason Darby would play ahead of him if it weren't the case.
