Recommitted Darcy Parish - re-signed until 2028!

[Vindicater]

or what about a parish and merrett comparison

parish younger

merrett could fetch more currency (hes captain now but still)

i think he adds to the problem of the midfield atm

Merrett is not the problem.

Didn't look too bad in his breakout games when shiel and merrett were both injured /recently back. Had to stand up and did.

Then he kinda went meh again.

Both Parish and Shiel look great when the other is not there.

 

[dazbroncos]

boosting his RFA stocks this week for sure.

GO Catters

He’s looking ok with him there atm

Scott working miracles sorting that conundrum out.

Parish looks back in AA form and better than his 2021.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Idk if it's just me but he's seems to be more agressive and added some mongrel under Brad. There was tackle where he buried a Suns players which resulted in a htb which got me out of my chair

Loved his game on the week end i think he's getting back to his 2021 AA form and possibly better.

Worth a lot more to us than we would get via a trade/FA. His signing should be our main priority which I’d imagine it is. Wouldn’t blame him though if he wanted out

Money will be there.
Reckon we just need to show the club is moving in the right direction under Scott.

I’d be surprised if he doesn’t re-sign with the bombers. Would only really make sense to be picked up by a contender that is looking to round out its midfield with a solid third string mid.

While not a contender might also make sense at Freo given their midfield has lost a bit of experience over the past few years.

I think Freo are similar to ess in that they need big bodied mids. Brayshaw and Serong are very good but small - as is JOM and Aish. Mundy and Fyfe were the big bodied mids for years. O'Driscoll looks decent early but only 12 games in.

Setterfield has been a blessing in disguise. For a whatever it was late rounder, he is helping unlock the real potential of our midfield now.

Parish had most pressure acts of any Essendon player on the weekend, a buy in mindset shift has helped him as well imho

 

[citizen-erased]

The question was always going to be what Scott does to figure out two issues

Shiel and Parish in the same midfield
Getting Parish to do defensive things as well as get ball and attack.

So far so good. If this keeps up he's a no brainer signing.
Merrett, parish, shiel, Setterfield, hobbs, caldwell, martin, tsatas is some good midfield depth

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Draft is a lottery must keep him

And with Dodoro in charge I don't trust him picking an absolute gun with the pick

Yep he has started like 2021. And is ess finish higher than mid table it’s no benefit in the compo for parishes worth.

Nah. Easily covered. Should have traded him last year.

 

[citizen-erased]

Anything less than a top 5 pick comp then i imagine we match for a trade.

But i can see us also re-signing on goofld coin given the midfield depth ain't great, he's having a good season (contract year again though), and we need to use the cap

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Fair game from him last night. The offers will be substantial you'd think.

What would he been on at Ess? 900? If thats the offer..and you match...then he may stay.

wouldn't be on that. not even close. would be on 600 I imagine

No idea, but he'd be up for similar coin to merrett you'd imagine and would be our equal highest or 2nd highest paid

Huh? Wasn't in our top 5.

Just wondering.... as if a club matches then they best be ready to pay it if the trading club walks.... Not all clubs are like Geelong.I think StK threaten to walk if the Crows matched their offer for Crouch for example.


if its 50% more than he is on... then id say its possible for him to stay ... depending on how he feels about being at Ess.

only way parish goes is if he asks for a trade or if we get utterly stupid overs.

the kids an absolute jet and Essendon are barley meeting the minimum cap spend at the moment. $$$ won't be an issue.

the kid is an absolute jet. If he keeps it up he will be an AA lock again.

he won't get what merrets on be he could get 750k pretty easily.

he is a gun contested/clearance player but his disposal lets him down at times.
