Quotes from the man himself..
“I love it here,” Parish said ahead of Friday’s must-win clash with Hawthorn at Marvel Stadium.
“I absolutely love the joint … I’m red and black.”
“I have got great relationships with everyone at the club — the players, the coaches and even the staff. I’ve really enjoyed my time here and I’ve learnt so much from the relationships I’ve been able to build.”
“I parked it (the contract) for a little bit because there was a little inconsistency in my game,” he said of his initial discussions.
“I was more interested in coming back into the team and performing really strongly for them. That was the focus at that point in time.”
Another player with the green light. He mentioned last night something to the effect of being allowed by the coaches to move around stoppages more.I've never seen his impact be so high per posssession. He's always been a player that looks to move it forward instead of sideways when he has the ball but tonight every touch was so impactful. That pickup he did in the forward line where he got the ball out to Fantasia (who got the free and goaled) was amazing. Its hard to believe he's the same guy that in the JLT literally could not pick up a single ball. He is well and truly arriving as a player.
The most interesting thing here, amongst all the tosh, is his reference to Wim Hof. I have been hopeful that our club might be willing to explore his methods. For those who don’t know him, he has an incredible ability to endure extremes due to his self-developed breathing techniques. I’m sure I’ve heard certain players of other clubs mention his work in the past but this is the first Bomber. I would be interested to know if this was definitely a club initiated thing.
You’ve gotta admire those with the commitment to perfect a discipline. I was right into meditation until I had kids. Ironically that’s when I’ve needed meditation the most.Boys worked with him in the preseason. Devon Smith wrote and article on in early.in the year.
I also have read his methods and watched a bit on him. Have always wanted to do the methods more but lack the commitment
I thought we took too long to put him in the guts, was so noticeable when he started in the middle in the 3rd quarter, wasn’t happy with tippa getting that midfield time in the first half.
Could be a shot at most improved do you think?Building nicely. Going to be a gem.
Agree! Think he has most improved wrapped up. Reckon Ambrose would be close as well.Could be a shot at most improved do you think?
He is starting to really click now. Give him 3 years ASAP!
Probs deserves a new contract, purely based on this achievement aloneHe's starting to make me think neck beards are a good thing, such is my increasing fondness of him.
