AFL Player # 3: Darcy Parish

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Unrestricted free agent 2028 or 2029
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 18, doug85

 

[Shane Hird]

He looks like santa's little helper to me.

Or a blonde Oompa Loompa from that chocolate factory

 

[Beerfish]

He looks like santa's little helper to me.

Holy crap. I don't know how or why but I can see that.

Someone also posted Tilda Swinton as a look alike on the MB which I can see too.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Parish due to play game number 1 if he plays round 1. Stay tuned

 

[fishardansin]

I wouldn't mind knowing what he's trying to achieve with that hairdo

Apparently him and "Matho" are best mates and mouth as *. Sometimes a smartarse will have a look like this to get the jibes going so they can bring you down.

 

[Paul_Barnard]

They asked him on the radio if he likes a sledge and he said yes. Then they asked will he still be sledging next year when he lines up on Sam Mitchell and he said 'yeah of course, hopefully my mates back me up'..
You cant fail with that much confidence.. Love it!

 

[Blind Turn]

Apparently Parish returned from injury this year on a half back flank to great success. Thats where his career will start but hes also an a class finisher and an a class reader of the ball off hands so could be used as a genuine small forward.

He wouldve been ideal for the sub vest. I hope hes picked ahead of Cooney at every chance who actually hea not too disimilar to with the way he plays.

A mix between Cooney, Murphy and Jack Steven for me.

Doesnt have the Cooney explosion but has his over head marking and 1 on 1 ability. Has Murphys smart kicking and lowering the eyes but can also move away from a stoppage and a similar inside/out mix

I reckon we've got our quota of back flankers developing such as Gleeson, Ashby, and now Morgan and Francis, players who might find a career back there. I'd like to see them try a young classy small like Parish up forward and see if he can snag a few for us in a problematic area.

 

[Keystone agony]

Probably coz hes a bit smaller at 180~ he starts as a small forward.

 

[Milanista28]

Very excited about young Parish, Gonna be a match winner I think.

 

[Howard Moon]

Bald by age 21.

I've seen a hairline like that, on me

[DapperDon]

Welcome to the club Ellen!

I'm liking this kid's attitude in interviews. He's obsessed with Heppell, very confident but laid back too. I'm sure Doison will take him under his wing like Zach and he'll turn out to be a really good player. Heppell, Z.Merrett, Laverde, Langford and Parish, i'm liking the look of that midfield.

 

[Autobahn]

He's like Brad Pitt, kinda.

Would be crazy if they vote Heppell for captain.

 

[Jade]

WGAF how tall he is

Not a single * given.

(different players I know, but still...)

 

[monty1104]

Super happy with this pick. I've always had the mantra of picking footballers over athletes, and this pick is exactly what that is. Didn't test overly well athletically, but his in game performances speak for themselves.
