And a small blurb from the Hun the other day. Would you believe he is ANOTHER foot stress fracture player??
JAMES PARSONS
Parsons is less of a sure thing that Ranges’ top three prospects but they still expect him to be taken around pick 40.
An outside mid or half-forward, his accurate kicking and ability to play off both sides of his body make for enticing raw material for an AFL club to work with.
“What he does well he does exceptionally, it’s just getting that consistency,” Villani said.
“He’s really good in traffic. He’ll do two or three things a game that will make you sit back and go ‘wow’.”
James Parsons is expected to be picked up late in tomorrow’s draft. Picture: Valeriu Campan
A small stress fracture in his foot led to Parsons missing almost two months near the end of the season but Ranges reckon he had done enough prior to that to make the grade.
“It’s just that ability to go four quarters, and his workrate at times (that he needs to improve). “But at the other end of the spectrum, he was sensational at half-back for us in the last few rounds before he got injured.“
I liked this from the Bound for Glory write up...
Player comparison: Martin Gleeson
Big fan of Gleeson, has Enright traits...
But I guess we'll see, looked ok in highlights, and is a good size...
Amy "dislikes" this.Good to see someone give up a lucrative TV career for a shot at footy.
Looks a little like Gregson in that pic. I hope he isn't really much like him or I will be a very confused person if they both play in the same team in the future.Parsons sounds like another exciting choice!
"The Cats also took Eastern Ranges midfielder James Parsons who, like Cornell, was a member of the AFL academy.
He is said to have elite speed and long kicking, and also impressed in the national championships playing for Vic Metro."
