A quality, run and carry HBF should be top of the priority list.

Melbourne gave up on him as a defender. Probably a worse kick than Stefan Martin

Wasn’t he part of the culture problem along with Rocky?

Aside from his struggles staying healthy and his age all I’ve seen of him this year is him holding ont9 the footy too long to try make things happen and turning it over too much.

We have players who can take on that role. Zac Bailey of course. James Madden & Cox are other options
We played against the guy we need yesterday and he killed us. Brad Hill. Highly unlikely we can get him and he is contracted for two more years and WA boy but he would be rather handy zipping up and down the wings of the GABBA. We need to start a few more Hill doesn't like Ross Lyon threads 
Jack Martin is still the one for me that I think we should be going hard for.
He's already in QLD, can play a number of positions (including HB) and offers the speed we need.
I think in a better team he could be a real gun.

Parish isn't really a winger though. He's best played as an inside mid.

Which we could definitely use. Just not sure it is the highest off-season priority for us.
Having said that there really isn't a quality out of contract winger or HBF available as far as I am aware.

This was in an article earlier in the year, it doesn’t mention any clubs, but it is still a possibility if we were interested.
There’s been speculation/talk that Essendon will be looking for a first round pick this year, after trading out of the first round the last couple of years.
If the top HBF or Outside Mids are projected to go before our first pick, I’d consider Parish and a later pick coming back our way.

Collingwood’s first or GC’s second?

Just play Allison.. One of the quickest blokes we have in our list.
Even if he's leaving end of season, at least we'll get a second rounder. He'd have been perfect for Optus Stadium yesterday.

Would prefer the trade guys weaving their magic and getting another high profile player into the ranks that can help us out either in the midfield or run out of defense than Parish.

Personally, I think that yesterday shows that we need more midfield depth. A couple of blokes out in Matho and Berry and we got creamed in stoppages around the ground.
Plus the likely (possible) exit of blokes like Cutler, Taylor, Basti and maybe even Bundy.
Parish would be a perfect fit for the football club if you ask me.

Think Briz is referring to the Pies pick. Personally I'd keep the first rounder and trade GC's pick + steak knives for Parish.
Worth remembering that Cameron and Neale were not out of contract when they were traded to us either. I have no doubt that Fagan and Noble would have recognised that wing spot in particular is lacking a player with speed/run and carry and will be working hard behind the scenes to address it via trade. I think we'll be aggressive this off season in fixing deficiencies on the list because the club will see us as a top 4 chance next year if we can bring in another quality player or two. Who would be a good target though? I'd love Zac Williams personally but he'd be unlikely you'd think.

Caleb Daniel Brandon Ellis and Adam Tomlinson would be the players I'd be looking at all out of contract at seasons both Tomlinson and Ellis are free agents

Yeah sure, obviously we will have our targets amongst the contracted players too. Just making the point that there aren't obvious out of contracted players who would solve our positions of need whereas there are some intriguing types amongst positions where we could do with a bit of an upgrade but aren't as pressing (e.g. inside mids).
No chance he leaves but Dunkley would be a great target, for example.
