There is also mutiple people / sources who have said players mad coaches have not been happy with parish’s attitude around the club in the past. Was it ant555 thats mentioned this a few times

From what you hear yes . Has had times where he struts around like he owns the place which has rubbed a few the wrong way. Was more the early years than more recent times from what I know.

Which gels with his interview on the podcast a couple of months ago when he was asked about being one of the senior guys now and his early journey being drafted and coming into the club in the suspension year.

It’s kind of difficult to remember that Parish is only a year older than McGrath

Sounds like a you problem, Bruno

It does seem that way if you're not listening to the silence of the 17 other clubs that didn't offer the superstar a deal.

Geelong were interested in him, so were St Kilda, but he wasn’t interested in going Anywhere and didn’t encourage their interest.

Essendon were always going to match/overpay. They had the cap room and couldn’t afford to let him go. so it was a waste of time for the other clubs.

I think if he’s at Essendon in 2025 is the real question. Prime age player with a big reputation on a long term deal is perfect trade candidate if things aren’t going as well as you expect

Yeah. Paying other clubs to fix your list management mistakes is the new gold standard, we need to mimic Collingwood.

Who said anything about paying? Did the Bulldogs pay Brisbane to take Dunkley? Parish is good and the salary cap is skyrocketing. Under a reasonable long term contract it’s a perfectly tradable deal

Did the Bulldogs win the flag? No. Collingwood did.

Wait I’m confused do you think we should pay to get rid of Parish just because Collingwood paid to get rid of players because they screwed up their cap?

 

[brain taylor]

i’m glad this debate will continue for at least five years

It's the premiership model

Carn Yodel. They were kissed on the dick with F/S and zone selections.

 

[DERO]

Bulldogs likely too by the looks

Then we should do that too

 

[Westlo]

So we need to majorly **** up the year before Lord Bewick is draftable.

It's the premiership model

I thought the premiership model was to have continuity at your club 100+ game stars having lots of kids and getting multiple AAs for 2nd and 3rd round picks

Not sure if this is a troll or not.

Needs to slightly up the clangers

Hey Redders and Darce, if you sign on with the club we’ll make you the face of our new major sponsor next season…

Nah not a troll.

Just saying smart teams don’t give up players for nothing.

Smart teams are also constantly looking at how to get better and that typically happens by trading things of value. Ie good players, top pics ect

This year Parish was worth more to Essendon on the team then as a compo pick.

Next year Parish vs Parish trade value is a curious question and I’m not sure what the answer will be

I love you too Bruno.

Too early to start father son/daughter prospect thread?

 

[Beerfish]

They look dressed for Tatooine.
