Not that disposal numbers are the be all end all but Parfitt only averaged 15.5 this season, he isn't exactly an accumulator nor does he kill you with his disposal.
As we've seen with him at Geelong, he makes his team's better in an individual sense but he does little for team structure.
Late to the party, but are you talking about Danger who is a gun midfielder who they need up forward there as well and got them into a Grand Final? Which part of the team structure is he hurting? The ruck?

Agreed, nice aggressive move bringing I two young midfielders starved for opportunity but with a couple of pre seasons under their belt.GWS “digging in” with top-10 Caldwell request
The Giants have reportedly made their request.
A trop 10 pick they want..gee, it would be great to hear the club say they are speaking to GWS and could offer pick 9 for Caldwell and Hately. I would gladly offer that pick for the both of them
Why? They're two separate individuals making their decisions best for their own personal circumstances.
And how is Matt any different to any other player on our list approaching RFA or FA status, especially those from interstate....these same people talk club culture...I'll give them a tip loyalty works both ways when it comes to club culture.
It should put an end to the "we'll send him to the PSD BS"
At least give Nathan van Berlo in his 1st year something resembling a midfield to work with. This board definitely suffers from "Shinynewtoyitis"...
I think the board is actually realising that the way back to the promised land is a loooong way off!!
People said the same about Brisbane not that long ago, new coach, new direction, high end draft picks and some astute trading...voila competitive again in a quite short space of time.
Fair enough. Do you think we have the right people in place to ensure we don't end up more like the Brisbane Lions of 2014 / 2015?
It’s the Crows. In forward planning we score “0.0” So won’t happen.
It's called Karma .....ESS come out and demand a 1st round pick for Fantasia ...and then offer a 2nd pick for a much better player in CaldwellGWS “digging in” with top-10 Caldwell request

I just see an opening here that if there is an impasse, why not speak to GWS and say we will give you pick 9 for caldwell and Hately - unders from their end but a hell of a lot better than a 2nd and maybe a 3rd we would give them fort Hately. If they are happy with that, the get in the ear of Caldwells manager with a good contract. The advantage we would then have is that Essendon would be caught in a real bind as they would have to substantially up their offer as they can't risk the PSD as we are there waiting. What else are they going to do - the national draft?..and use pick 6 on him? I don't think so and if we ended up with the dogs pick 14, we could easily use that on him - I think he would well be worth it. We could really wedge Essendon here if we wanted to really try and make a play for Caldwell and I think GWS would be quite obliging if he would not stay on with them
Caldwell is definitely worth it ....absolutely have a go at getting him
We’d easily be able to match a heavily frontloaded contract like $1m in the first year now Brouch, Atkins, eddie and Hartigan are all off the books...
