8th in the league before this week.Well Shield has been ranked as elite in center clearance for 5 years now and has been in the league top 10 clearance players for a while as well. Maybe it is not him that needed to step out of the way.
The cross field kick early in the last quarter highlighted where he has to improve. If he sits it 2 meters in front then we run onto it. It seems that he just struggles a bit in being able to put the ball to advantage rather than sitting the ball on players heads.
Super game and it showed just how good he can be.
Yep play the bloke who has a career elite rating at center clearances on a wing. Not saying Parish should not be there ust saying Shiel is a proven center clearance gun.
Do not disagree. Personally I would use both in the middle but have never minded using Parish as a forward as it has given him another aspect to his game. Truck used Siel at half forward a few times in the Hawks game.I think the difference is that Parish is a release centre clearance player Vs Shiel who’s a run and carry centre clearance player.
Parish’s clearance style brings others more into the game and often results in clearer, open possessions as he releases them into space.
Shiel’s clearance style is to burst, run and carry himself and then rush a hurried and often chaos kick that isn’t ultimately to our advantage.
Disagree on it being over rated. Parish also gets a lot of outside ball. He has to sharpen the use. One area of the game we need to improve is turnovers.Never going to be a great kick, but that's overrated for an inside mid anyway. He wins clearances and boots it forward, which is great for a team that can go missing in that department for long periods
There is something weird in his field kicking mechanics where a lot of his longer kicks seem to swing late. If he was a golfer he would have a nasty slice and a great short game.The cross field kick early in the last quarter highlighted where he has to improve.

Let’s start with 2 games in a row.For this year? Or years? Or when he starts getting tagged?
He lays back on his kicks, which distorts how it travels off his boot and makes it more "floaty".There is something weird in his field kicking mechanics where a lot of his longer kicks seem to swing late. If he was a golfer he would have a nasty slice and a great short game.
Parish is in and under, inside. Shiel not so much.I think the difference is that Parish is a release centre clearance player Vs Shiel who’s a run and carry centre clearance player.

McGraths pretty bloody quick. Quickest hands in the west.Does he have the fastest hands in the comp?
They're both absolutely lightning. If I wasn't a luddite I would make a video of their handball chains out of the contest. It's lightning stuff.McGraths pretty bloody quick. Quickest hands in the west.
Hopefully we get to see a whole year of itThey're both absolutely lightning. If I wasn't a luddite I would make a video of their handball chains out of the contest. It's lightning stuff.
Reminds me of Simon Black and Luke Power handballing out of traffic.
