[Beerfish]

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

 

[Liberator]

Whomst'll he be replacing?

Oop - looks like Dazza is in Craigieburn for the VFL
Laverde maybe the travelling emergency?
Disturbance in the force might just have been due to too Ghost chilli sauce at breakfast...

A lazy 4 goals to Darcy in the first three quarters of the VFL practise match

Nice as it is, it is a Praccy, against a team that will struggle to win more than 3 games this year.

So what WOULD be impressive; 7 or 8 at 3/4 time?

All I'm saying is that a guy like him should be dominating against Coburg. Context is important.

 

[eDPS]

Make that 5 goals early in the last

Not good enough to be kicking lazy goals. Needs to be kicking super high effort goals.

 

[Zach Package]

Parish being able to be a genuine forward threat would be an unexpected development.

Still suspect we’re in a bit of a holding pattern while he continues to put on bulk, unfortunately he still doesn’t really have the trunk required to play his best role

 

[Darealrath]

Parish being able to be a genuine forward threat would be an unexpected development.

Thought he showed some flashes in 2016 that indicated he had nous around goal. My theory is he'd do better deep as a crumber if he's not playing in the middle - feel like he gets a bit lost when playing in between on a flank.

Well put it this way then, he's certainly not hurting his prospects by kicking 5 goals.

 

[Shane Heard]

Coach Dan Jordan praised his work in the guts..so to add 5 goals on top of that means he went hard at it and that’s all you can ask for. He’s too good for reserves player. We all know it.

“Darcy (Parish) in the middle was obviously outstanding in terms of his work around the contest, and Heath (Hocking) competed really well and played his role’

Even in the back half of last year. I recall him doing alright in the forward half on occassion. If he doesnt make it as a mid we could always try him up forward in place of Baguley down the line.

HIGH ENERGY DARCE.

 

[Beerfish]

Darce be like

So, straight back in?

 

[BrunoV]

Watson is doing his trolling thing.

Interesting times.

 

[citizen-erased]

At the very least this kid will run and chase
By the same token that Laverde will hit a pack hard, whether forward, middle or defence

Yet we drop these kids to work on their game.
I am truly baffled by our selections.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

If he comes back in and has a poor game against St.Kilda then what? I think he's too small to play as an inside mid.

Hah. Baby steps.

At the moment we're talking about running and looking interested, not competency on the inside. That's too advanced for us at this stage.

 

[dnbassador]

Whipping Boy to Saviour in a week amazing

Delist I guess.

so Tom mitchell is too small aswell yeah?

and Rory Sloan,

and luke parker

and taylor adams

because they are all within a CM or the same height as darcy.

enough with the broken narrative

 

[BrunoV]

I know. The worst player in JLT should nown be a default selection.

Height has nothing to do with it.

All those players you mentioned have bigger frames than Parish that's what I mean by small.

I’d take “ running and looking interested “ from anyone playing this week.

It’ll do me.

Jon Ralf reckons a few clubs including geelong are circling. Meh
