Yes, yes it is. eth-dog

So metal LEGS.

Delusional.

 

[ghostdog]

Time for the robocop conversion you think?

That would be okay, just to be able to see it in action, but it's 2024. I'm looking at the Ex Machina version. No one will ever know.

We are missing Parish badly at the minute and very frustrating to hear of another 'set back' for our injury rehab programs.

It may be low hanging fruit but it is no secret that we have been very poor in this area in for a long time.. consistently long injury lists, long recovery times, multiple reinjuries, soft tissue injuries, poor fade outs in both games and seasons.

Something is seriously wrong with how we manage the physical conditioning of our players.

 

[Kong]

It's metal limbs time. Let's get it done.

Yes, yes it is. eth-dog

So metal LEGS.

Someone tell Wahooti Fandango to take me off his ignore list to see my objections.

 

[justlookingaround]

Is he back before or after the birth of his child?

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

So metal LEGS.

If by legs you mean arms, then yes.

 

[Beerfish]

If by legs you mean arms, then yes.

Yes we're going to replace a leg with an arm.

Glad you guys aren't on the cybernetics team.

 

[Nifft]

Yes we're going to replace a leg with an arm.

Glad you guys aren't on the cybernetics team.

I know just the doc for the job!

 

[jmoo wan]

Yes we're going to replace a leg with an arm.

Glad you guys aren't on the cybernetics team.

replacing an arm with a leg sounds expensive - like it might cost… an arm an a leg

…..We manage the physical condition of our players? I thought that was just for them big and famous successful clubs….

 

[Agronomus]

So which of Baker, Watson, Williams is the Parish one?

 

[Laverdeee]

Need this guy back asap, clearance beast

 

[Rick Ross]

That’s a doctrine in itself

4 points is 4 points though right?

Unless it’s an 8 point game.
If percentage is in the line too, it can stretch to a 12 point game but these are rare.

 

[Rick Ross]

I still think we should've traded Parish for the right price.

Do I get credit for saying that while the midfield has been down?

Yes you get credit.

You are still not right…

 

[Rick Ross]

Move Dodoro into the S+C department. He couldn't do any ****ing worse

Gold.
I can rehash all my Dodrogitory posts.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Unless it’s an 8 point game.
If percentage is in the line too, it can stretch to a 12 point game but these are rare.

There’s also the 16 point game where if you win you make top four and if you lose you miss the 8

 

[Agronomus]

Is there any stats on the amount of tackles Parish has broken? Assuming he's actually ever broken one.

 

[Agronomus]

Need this guy back asap, clearance beast

How is a soft receiver beastly?

 

[cAsEy_18]

Man, just 2 shockingly incorrect posts in a row haha.

Parish has his flaws and critics - but they certainly aren’t “he’s an outside receiver” or “he’s soft”.

We got killed out of the centre by a crap side that had no Kelly or Harley.

 

[supportyourteam]

Didn't watch. But if the choice is between Ps its Parish.

Finger nail deep analysis there though.

We have gotten pantsed at general stoppages 4 of the last 5 games (3 of those against the 3 worst teams in the comp) and belted at centre clearances against Norf, West Coast and Richmond.

We are winning because of our general contested possession game (outside stoppage CP) and transition scoring, not because our midfield is going gangbusters at clearance. Parish is sorely missed in that regard.

Exactly this. Our midfield might put up decent numbers individually but our stoppage work has been shocking since Parish has gone out. Lost the clearances 35-44 on the weekend to a team missing three of it's best inside mids.
