The Wiz to play on??

[Chops_a_must]

Last 3 games he played in the middle he had 27, 20 and 14 possessions, and in that 14 possession game he had at least 3 goal assists.

It's not something someone else can't do.

The point still stands, he will be stealing a spot from a young guy if that continues next year.

 

[PAVnTAZ]

I think he's got years left in him. Just 2 games a year though. The first derby is usually round 3 and the second is atleast 12 weeks later so he could do a Kicketty.

Harvey needs to give him a free reign to terrorize the Wiggles as he see's fit, as long as his suspensions over prior to the next derby. He is a team layer and wouldn't mind sacrificing himself for the good of mankind.

Come back Medders...

 

[kidstyler]

to many people jumping ship might save farmer this year!

1 year performance based contract!

Wiz gave me the shits on the weekend, his first quater was great, he was setting up plays and having a lot of influence. He was then tagged part way through the second and he started lifting his elbow and acting like a mongrel.

Flip a coin.

 

[Pav for AA]

To be honest he has been average for most of the season.

I dont think he deserves an extension of his contract on what he has done this year.
The club shouldn't just extend a players contract on the basis that other players have retired this year. Given this years output would any of you have given him another year if we still had Black, Bell etc...?? If the answer is no then why should he get one we because they have retired?

We still have enough experienced players(Grover, Pav, McPharlin, Solly, Carr, Hayden, Taz etc) at the club to guide the youngsters.


He's been a great servant for the club but his discipline issues and his average form shouldn't be rewarded at seasons end.

We have a winner.

My only concern is what he could amount to once off the list. Personally I get the impression that his footy is the only thing keeping his life in some sort of order.

Could do a Cousins.

Nah, I reckon Jeff's a top bloke. Always has the time to chat, make the kids feel special, have a laugh etc when you go down to the club. If he can keep out of trouble the next two weeks and keep showing a bit, he'll get another year. There's been too many other players on the list that have shown much, much less this year. It'll be a reduced deal with obvious conditions.

I definitely think we shouldn't keep a player though, on the potential of what may happen to them outside football. The club may have some small responsibility, but not really. People are responsible for themselves and their behaviour.

I wasnt advocating a year extension, just raising a concern I find valid.

Personally I think he should walk before he is pushed.

 

[Borry]

He should be gone.

I have defended hiom tooth and nail over the last five years, but even some of the staunchest Farmer fans can see that he has lost the speed that made him a very good playuer a few years ago and is a liability these days.

 

[FootyEater]

I think is a very dangerous precident to set, espcially at freo, by rewarding a player with a contract extension when he doesnt deserve it. no matter how many players have retired.

the fact is, he has done nothing to earn another contract, he hasnt been a damaging player for the best part of two years, i reckon he should be shown the door, with a big thankyou, and he will end up playing in the south west league as it pays more than the wafl

mark johnson on the other hand has been a wonderful addition to our club, he goes at it hard, has good skills and if you need further proof all you need to do is watch him with the younger guys at a training session, should definetly be offered a contract extension, he would be a much better mentor for the younger guys than what farmer could or would ever be. i also reckon johnno would make a fair assistant coach to harvs one day too if he was interested

 

[hoss]

We'll see. Mark Johnson's been great lately, but to say he's had a much better season than Jeff is wrong. Maybe Johnno did better than we expected and Wiz less than we expected but they've had similar seasons, similar stupid suspensions etc
