This is definitely a great trade!!!
Welcome Farren! You will star - grab your opportunity and it will see no boundaries!!!
spot on!
A kid is getting flamed before he has even walked through the gate at Moorrabbin.
As someone said this year he averaged nearly 20 touches and 3 tackles...he's not a hack
He has dominated some games at AFL level.
Not even on the same page as Fiora or Tenace who he keeps being compared to.
I thought it was every saints fans dream to inject PACE & RUN into the team???
X Clarke, Ray, Gram, Dal Santo, Montagna
Coupled with
Ball, Hayes, Goddard, Armitage
---------> We may be too reliant on Ball and Hayes now with very minimal ball winning abilities.
Maybe recruit Harris!!!
How about throwing a B.Cousins into that rotation??
I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

Until this stage under high game pressure
lacks good decision making
diposal skill(so important) also falls away under pressure.
All the best though

Had injury probs last year but had a blistering 4 weeks or so near the end of the season...gave me many a DT point over that time

I was ok with the deal when I first head that it was our second rounder for Ray, but now that I realise we get their third rounder too I am very happy about that
The question is now who's spot does he take?
ROBERT HARVEY A.K.A The Great Man, Banger, Harves, Ol' Man River...
384 games, 4 B&F's, 3 EJ Whitten Medals, St.Kilda Captain, 2 Time Brownlow Medalist, 8 Time All Australian, 2nd Highest Brownlow votes poller.... The greatest of ALL TIME!!

Interesting if you google Farren Ray... there's a female 'model' with the same name.

Hmmm - already compared here to another much discussed number 4 pick traded from a rival club - lets hope that's as far as the coincidence goes!

And so all the mental midgets on this forum can't help themsleves, and start creating negative nick-names for the guy.
Seriously, get a life u cabbages.
The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.

Happy with this. He gives us the pace we so desperately need and IMO he can play a bit. Nowhere near the muppet like Fizz is.
Innocent until proven guilty!
