Best mark per cm in the team.
Takes them one grab in the main too.

Shame he couldn't be a third forward.
We need something in the forward line desperately.

Is having a real crack at the moment is our Farren F#rkin Ray
I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

Re: How good is Farren's marking
Has certainly lifted his game this year and deserves his 2 year contract extension.
Let's hope that he focuses on his disposal over the pre-season.

A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

Under Ross's regime I always wondered why Ross didn't play him forward?
I often would speak with my brother and say why don't they see he is good over head.

Re: How good is Farren's marking
52 goals 54 behinds career stats…
Same ratio as Lenny at 90 goals 95 behinds…
Not miles away from Gary Ablett Jnr 330 goals 262 behinds…
Farren would be worth a try as a marking forward I reckon.

I reckon he could never make a forward. His making is good in the backline when no one is punching from behind but he wouldnt get that leeway in the forward line and hasnt got the body strength to out position the backman and he isnt a leading forward. ray is a very good mark but only when no one defends.

Re: How good is Farren's marking
As game as they come, only really good footballers can consistently take one-grab marks running back into packs.

Re: How good is Farren's marking
Farren came to us with the tag of being a bit soft and outside...
He is anything but... He has his limitations, and will only ever be a #14-22, but he is most certainly brave, fearless and tough... Deserves credit... And yes, has very sticky fingers..
Just can't kick a goal to save himself...

Re: How good is Farren's marking
he is incredible overhead for his size
If it wasnt for poor kicking/decision making hed be almost an A grader.

He's played that role many times.spot on wrote:I think as a floating half back could be an option for him.

Re: How good is Farren's marking
He has done the job in the Forward 50. It's just that he doesn't get down there too often !!BigMart wrote:Very good
Different marking through the midfield and inside f50
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!
