Parish is 25 and, as far as anyone knows, isn't battling a gambling and prescription drug addiction.
Beams was 28 when we bet the house on him - hardly an apt comparison.

I would gladly pay overs for him. Make him a decent offer and get him out of that shithole.
If some reports are to be believed, it could be him or McLean who leaves Sydney.
Saints have some interest in Amartey and apparently attempted to get him last year, but Sydney held firm.

From what I've seen, both have shown glimpses, however I'm not sure acquiring another ruck/forward of their respective abilities is what we need right now.

Happy to pay overs for a KPF - they are always a good each way bet, if they don't make it as a forward then you can see if they can perform as a key back (rule is not so true for KPB)

since when is Amartey a ruck/forward?If some reports are to be believed, it could be him or McLean who leaves Sydney.

I wouldn’t have a clue what he was like as a Junior but he has been really impressive in the VFL games that he has played.
The Swans in his bio state that he has shown strong form in the ruck and as a key-position player at both ends of the ground:
He's also described as a ruck-forward in the article I linked.
In my opinion he's probably too young to have a definitive position, but the Swans this season seem to be training him as a forward, judging by his hit out stats (unless he's just not very good as a ruck or getting hit outs).
The amount surprised me as I thought that there was a salary floor which clubs have to pay, although I understand that the floor can fluctuate from year to year which might account for such a high number (as well as potential or expected retirements).
End result being they either over-pay Parish to keep him or match the offer and Dodo wants three first rounders.

Jon Ralph is an absolute arse wipe
Haha, I'm not a fan of his either but I assume he gets decent information.
My favourite and enduring memory of him is his reaction to the 2018 prelim, both at half and full time. He had a face like a slapped arse, without the usual pre-game smugness stamped all over it.

It's more about whether they want to stay there.
Parish would be a good addition - Pendles, Sidey & Adams (& Mitchell for that matter) can't go on forever.
We need to have some sort of succession in place
that $3mill may also take into account players coming out of contract
He’s been at Essendon his entire career, it’s reasonable to assume that he is as mentally fried as Beams.
