AFL News: Scott hits out at 'offensive' Tribunal call to clear Cameron, Pies to swoop on star Dog?
Geelong coach Chris Scott has hit out at the AFL Tribunal's decision to clear Charlie Cameron for his dangerous tackle on Jake Lever, saying…
As one wizard’s career comes to a close, a star emerges from the rubble of Fremantle’s 2008 season. Jeff Farmer was arguable the best small forward that Western Australia has ever produced and, despite what ignorant people might say, he was a team player to the very end.
He was grateful to both his former clubs, Fremantle and Melbourne, for the opportunity to play AFL.
He played 249 games of football, at times sublime, at times wasteful, but never forgettable. From an entertainment point of view, Farmer never disappointed.
His first game wearing a Fremantle jumper was a scratch match against Collingwood, and the excitement in the crowd at what was to come was palpable.
It is fitting then that his final game was also against the Pies. And he kicked three goals, two of them with a difficulty rating of nine, and passed off a few others.
In total, he kicked 483 goals, considerably more than any other Aboriginal player.
Many respected commentators have subsequently questioned his omission from the Indigenous Team of the Century.
While many media types have sniped at Farmer behind the safety of a microphone, the true Fremantle fan knows Farmer as a team player – fiercely loyal, and always willing to sign a jumper or show a cheeky grin.
As Farmer retires, Frematle welcomes Rhy Palmer into illustrious company in winning the NAB AFL Rising Star. Palmer declared at the start of the year that he would have been happy to have just played five games.
He is the sort of player that supporters love to watch. His evasion skills are incredible, and his ability to win possession is invaluable.

Collingwood premiership defender Nathan Murphy has been forced into a premature and immediate AFL retirement through concussion to prioritise a "full and healthy life"…
It’s high stakes with five teams having lost their first three games of season 2024, and in desperate need of a win.
It could be a weekend for contenders to emerge, teams to hopefully break droughts, o and overall footy to have a party.
We’ve already seen what Jack Ginnivan is capable of at Collingwood with his ability to grasp big moments - how will he go against his former teammates?
