Pavlich, Palmer & Purple – Farmer Won’t Be Out In His Field
From the Fremantle site: Jeff Farmer retires
The Dockers seem to be going in the right direction, and the retirements of a lot of their veterans have helped them decide to rebuild. The oldest club, for the average player age, at the start of the season wasn’t something a team that was not contending needed. They will soon be among the youngest, and can steadily build around Pavlich over the next few seasons.
Farmer was probably a good acquisition for the Dockers. It didn’t cost them a lot to trade for him, Farmer kicked plenty of goals and probably helped sell tickets and memberships.
Solomon may be the oldest Docker now, and if he leaves the title of oldest Docker could go to Grover.
“After talking to Mark and Chris today it is clear that the club is moving in a different direction and I have decided after a 14 year career to retire from the AFL,” he said.
His record of 483 career goals is the most kicked by an Indigenous player in the history of the VFL/AFL, while his tally of 224 goals for Fremantle ranks him second in the club’s all time goal kicking records.
