Jeff Farmer to Go West
Monday, 1 October 2001

THE Melbourne Football Club reports that after meeting with Jeff Farmer and his management today, Jeff has indicated he wishes to return to Western Australia for family reasons.
The Melbourne Football Club has tried hard to entice Jeff to stay with the Club.

Over a seven year career with the Club, he has been a two-time All Australian representative, a Grand Final player and Club leading goal kicker on three occasions.

John Anderson, Chief Executive Officer, today said "The Club's preference at all times during the negotiations was for Jeff to remain a Melbourne player.

Our offer reflected his elite status within our Club, but in the end
Jeff's desire to be with his family was the deciding factor."

"We will now actively negotiate with both Western Australian clubs with a view to doing the best deal possible for the Melbourne Football Club",
Anderson said.
