Delisted 34. James Parsons (2016-2020)

[Vdubs]

Have you seen Parsons kick the footy?
I have seen him bang them from outside 50 with what seems to be little effort.

I am a big Parsons fan. Liked him at Eastern Ranges. Could not believe he missed the main draft. We have rookied a pearler, imho.

What a shame, now injured for the next 2 months with a foot fracture. Oh Bugger.

@#%@#%#@^$!

If SJ can do it over a fence and Otto can do it near a boat, this kids got the makings of something very special.....

The ability to conjur the most obscure injury yet....

He has potential, a word that is often bandied about but not 1 I apply to players I haven't seen.

Wish him all the best in his recovery and hope to see him in the hoops sooner, rather than later.

 

[dazbroncos]

Nice piece on Parson's return to training.

Maybe his time is close with Cockatoo out for a while.

Does anyone have a player comparison for this guy? I haven't seen enough of him to make the call. I wonder what his ceiling is.

Gary Ablett Snr mixed with some Michael Jordan mixed with some David Beckham.

To be honest I think we need to see him in the AFL to make that call , at VFL level he sort is sort of a blend of a more talented Murdoch and a more mobile Menzel

 

[CatRiot]

Sounds like he had another solid game today in the VFL.

Interrupting update.

Parsons will make his AFL debut this week.

Yet another Eastern Ranges success story.

Good luck.

Yep another from the Eastern Rangers Footy Factory.

 

[CatRiot]

Solid first game, will be better for it, I see something there.

 

[Vdubs]

Very disappointing- NO GOAL

But seriously, he looked liked he belonged out there, never perturbed, teammates seem to appreciate his efforts, would like to see him v Hawks.

 

[dazbroncos]

Will be better for the run. Like the awareness and ability to absorb he speed of the game.

Didn't look out of place and should definitely play next week.

Good pace, skills and vision.

Best feeling ever changing his thread tag from Rookie to Senior..

Loved his 1st game. Good decision maker and very clean with the footy. Hard position to play in the AFL nowdays that half forward flank. Considering u guys were slaughtered in the inside 50 count and ball spent majority of the game in the Demons forward 50. Really impressive debut imo. U guys look to have one here imo.

Thanks Luke Good luck in your game today

Disappointing that he'll be suspended.

But other than that, in only his second game, thought he was absolutely fantastic!

Straight back in the seniors for sure after suspension!

 

[CatRiot]

Quality game... 21 touches, 2 goals and payback to hodgey for sniping our players in the past.

Going to be a player. Even more satisfying having come off the rookie list.

Going to be a player. Even more satisfying having come off the rookie list.

Parsons as a rookie in the 2015 draft and Zac Guthrie as a rookie in the 2016 draft could end up very important picks.

Obviously they've traded back in to the 2016 draft to get Parfitt but otherwise between the speculative ND picks Gardner, Buzza, Hayball, Ratugolea and the topping up with mature state league players in Menegola, Ruggles, Stewart, House and Abbott there might not be many long term players there.

If Parsons and Zuthrie can make it from the rookie list it will be a hell of a bonus for the future.

 

[dazbroncos]

Composure.

He's got it. Can't teach it - look at Murda - Parsons already more settled ball in hand that Murda is. This shoud go well for us. And we are due a low pick coming good. Its been a while - and agree that him and Zuthrie could well turn heads for us in time.

Had a brain fade with Hodge and the flying elbow but probably gained instant respect for whom he did it to, and lost respect for how he did it.

But he will learn.

Parsons offered 3 year deal to senior list...

upgraded.

Watching his highlights package and I can’t see what all the fuss was about.
I would love nothing more to see when we draft someone for a person on here to stand up and call someone s**t.
