I'm not really seeing what he is doing or not doing that wouldn't have been expected pre draft. He is a good user of the ball which is what he was expected to be. I dont think there were ever going to be any real match winning points of difference that we thought we'd be getting that haven't been seen.
He was always going to be a low risk even contributor. Maybe not getting the ball enough or winning as many clearances as he could?
Can someone fill me in further on this?
Edit: The above may seem like a knock on him, but it certainly isn't meant to be. I think he is playing his expected role just fine.
Growing up with 3 younger brothers he would be used to dealing with younger kids and going to as many of their games as he can shows how much he cares aswell.Hey guys, couldn't find a topic thread to put this so I put it here.
Your boys were up here in Kyneton yesterday doing a bit of training and also a auskick session with the kids.
The boys all seemed to engage pretty well with the kids and the kids loved it so just wanted to say thank you to the EFC and the players for putting on a good show.
I put it in here as Darcy was the standout with engaging with the kids.
Thank you
Was one of the standouts in our intra club today by some reports
Underrated pun given the post you quoted.Expecting this to be Myers bread and butter this year, would personally like Parish's role to be more "See ball get ball"
My genius is wasted hereUnderrated pun given the post you quoted.
While attending training, my eyes show me that Parish is a bit bigger around the chest and the shoulders - In saying that, he was definitely in the previous pre-season - Reckon he's just about right for size - I'd worry if he bulks up any more.
Come on Terry, Parish doesn’t have the speed of Zorko or the kicking skills of Gaff to play those roles. The Parish of under 18s was never that type either.
He was more of an outside type, used the ball better than he does now aswell but he still wasnt overly quick. He mostly played half back in his bottom age year before moving onto a wing/midfield/half forward the next year.What was Parish like as an U18? What kind of player are we actually expecting him to be like? Not sure if you recall his draft year or not.

Gaff won more of the ball and was a better kick. Parish was alot like Sloane when Sloane played 18s, Sloane spent most of his 18s on the wing if i recall correctly.A Gaff type without the tank?

The player Parish should be looking to emulate is Sloane, make aggression the staple of his game even Devon Smith in terms of intensity is another he can emulate.If Parish could emulate Sloane that would be a pretty good outcome. He seemed well off the pace last week, hopefully we see more this week. McGrath really set the example for the young players in the second half.

100% agreed. Not sure if he's smart enough though. Comes across to me as confident but way too confident. Sloane would be the perfect mould for him to emulate.The player Parish should be looking to emulate is Sloane, make aggression the staple of his game even Devon Smith in terms of intensity is another he can emulate.
Ive got the same impression, luckily he has a few years to work towards it, Devon Smith wasnt the tackling machine early on either.100% agreed. Not sure if he's smart enough though. Comes across to me as confident but way too confident. Sloane would be the perfect mould for him to emulate.
