My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 18, doug85

Have to wonder what a modern day Jack Dyer who browses internet forums would say about posters like you.

He'd say "wow this Parish guy is ordinary, no wonder Essendon hasn't won a final in 20 years"

Parish is like a half strength vanilla soy latte version of Hird

 

[Beerfish]

Yeah ok we get it.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Parish is like the player a fan says is shit and or not important and then sticks to that view even when they see evidence to the contrary

 

[Zach Package]

It's like what Jack Dyer used to say about players like Parish. "All they do is run around yelling gimme gimme gimme"

Given Jack Dyer was a 184 centimetre ruckman from the 40’s, he’d probably say ‘****me, you’re a midfielder?’ as he looked eye to eye with him as Parish racked up 6 brownlows on the trot with no one being able to get anywhere near him.

i think the current iteration of DP3 is the best, he played some good football vs fremantle & was accountable. just needs to stay fit

ill put my hand up and say I was wrong.



His first game back (round 20), he was poor. But last week and so far this week has been business as usual. Dude is a genuine top shelf on baller when fit and showing the way that batman (Zerret) does need his Robin (Parish)

I actually feel bad that him and Zach stayed. Want them to achieve success. Parish is a star and gets way too much shit from Essendon fans.

He is a good player but we definitely should’ve moved him on last year. Would’ve been best for both parties.

Pretender.

We can still trade you Darcy, just say the word.

Had some trouble working out we where wearing black with a red sash tonight.

 

[Westlo]

Amazing shut down job by Brad Scott at the start of the second quarter, completely cooled down the red hot Parish.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Any particular reason he squibbed so many marking contests tonight? I can forgive the flurry of 40m hospital floaters, but at least put your body on the line when it's your time.

Teams can only have so many poor kicks in the one midfield - AT LEAST one of Parish, Durham, Caldwell and Hobbs need to go.

Because he’s soft as butter?

At least the other three aren’t made of playdough…

Take a look at our record with and without Parish over the last few years.

Parish back in for scans. Another calf concern.

Edit - not a calf, a knee.

Put him on ice at this point tbh

Tsatas full time mid or hand keys to Hobbs and see what he can do final 2 games?

Give it to Hobbs. Tsatas just needs to keep working on the fundamentals and have a big preseason. No point destroying his confidence this late in the year IMO.

Nah I’d give him a taste of playing on ball, so he knows where he stands and how hard he again has to work this coming summer

Id be leaning this way too, unless we were looking at trading Hobbs.

Hobbs IMO, he's a year older than Tsatas and AFAIK has never really had a proper run on-ball at AFL level. Give him a chance and see how he goes.

I read that in Trumps voice
