Farren Ray has been canonised.

Re: Farren Ray has been canonised.

Would have to be the biggest backhanded compliment ever seen on a footy banner.

The only other one I can think of that came close was Essendon's banner for Aaron Henneman's 50th. "Congratulation on 50 valiant games."

Clayton said if I remember Farren was another Craig Bradley. Not quite but a good player for two Clubs.

Heard on a radio station that Saints plan to rookie him

Re: Farren Ray has been canonised.

Unfortunately the thing I remember most about Farren is missing goals when we really needed them. Nevertheless playing 200 games is a grand effort.

I read on AFL.com.au where he talks about the reduction in interchange numbers next year and how that suits him because he is a good runner. He also seems to know that he has to work with younger players including having some stints in the VFL so he is obviously very keen to try and extend his career for another season or two. I hope there is a club or two interested in him.

I remember him kicking on his left on the run for absolutely no reason with consistently poor results. Everytime he would be having a shot on the run from 50 under little pressure he would use his left.

What was it that Einstein said about the definition of insanity?

Heh!

I don't why that keeps happening but it's kind of apt in that circumstance.

I guess I was feeling charitable at the time of writing. How about "reasonably worthwhile effort taking all his deficiencies into consideration."

"Heneman made a valiant attempt to mark the ball but it hit him in the head."
"Heneman tackled valiantly but was brushed aside."
"Henemanmade a valiant attempt to soccer a goal but had an airie"
Heneman tried valiantly to intercept but fell over instead"

Love it. Henneman is the name of a particularly stupid character on Mitchell and Webb.
