As in you guys are still taking him and he's nominating you I presume?

I believe He is in next years draft. We probably won’t know until the end of next year

He's already 18.

He's got a whole year to decide, we have no idea

 

[DaveLister]

Seems to be some conjecture over Kobe's DoB, there's some screenshots floating around showing him as nominated for the draft

 

[apuchar]

He hasn't done enough to get drafted by us this year

Well the draftboard post with the Pastebin link to the nominations list has the same thing. Kobe is 18 and in this draft

Wow that is interesting. Does that mean we have nominated him or that he has nominated himself for the open draft?

Nominated for the open draft

It is bizarre in that I have heard very little of him mentioned as an elibke father son or acedemy player this year, or that he has nominated a club of choice being eligible for us and yourselves?

 

[theGav56]

How does a name like Kobe Farmer quietly become listed in the general draft?

 

[Taylor]

All the AFL.com.au info had him as a 2021 candidate

Yet there he is AND un-nominated AND training with Melbourne.

Yeah we assumed he was next year. Not sure either club has nominated him for father/son. Do you have any indication that your club nominated him?

He’s 169cm and 65kg and not performing overly great at colts level. Unless a club can predict a massive growth spurt coming up, why would a club want him?

Viney must be short then as he was about the same height in that pick the other day. Definitely taller than 169cm

In the footage of him standing next to his old man he looks around 5cms taller. We should only draft players who we are confident in, so clearly we are not. The thing that stuns me is the lack of discussion about his status.

He’s 2021 father son

Fair enough, going off the PTFC website. Which may’ve been his height at the start of the year.

 

[theGav56]

He’s 2021 father son

There is a thread on the Draft board listing all available players in the upcoming draft, and he is listed.

Resource - Full list of 2020 AFL draft nominated players

Is anyone able to publish the full list of players? It's paywalled, which I think is poor form, given it's not journalism, but an AFL list.

Perhaps it's a list of anyone who played Colts, which qualifies them

The list has his DOB, shows him as 18.

 

[theGav56]

Farmer Snr is an AFL all time legend, and one of our greatest players, and Kobe appears to be eligible for us in this draft. A total void in terms of information and media is very strange.

I was certain he was a 2021 player. How reliable are those DOBs?

That post is a full list of players registering for the 2020 draft (if I understand correctly). It isn't a cobbled together list of things.

Hoping there is a prank here somewhere.

What is the cutoff date? Some 18yo are ineligible aren’t they?
