will play his 150th AFL game this weekend against Collingwood. The Geelong Falcons product was selected by Essendon with pick No.5 in the 2015 National Draft and quickly became a mainstay in the Bombers’ lineup.

Parish has established an impressive resume across his eight seasons, with 2021 being a standout year where he earned All Australian selection, was named the runner-up at the Crichton Medal, while also taking home the Anzac Day Medal, Yiooken Award and Tom Wills Medal.

This season, Parish has played 17 games, averaging 30.9 disposals, 15.2 kicks and 7.8 clearances per game.

THANK YOU MEMBERS ROUND

As we approach the final game of the home and away season we turn the focus to our members and thank them for their support for the 2023 season.

Members are the life blood of the Essendon Football Club. They give purpose and bring passion.

ESSENDON DON THE SEATBELT

The Essendon Football Club is proud to join forces with the TAC supporting road safety for the Round 24 blockbuster against Collingwood on Friday night.

The Bombers will recognise the work done by the TAC throughout the Round 24 match highlighting the importance of road safety in Victoria.

The iconic red sash on the Bombers’ guernsey will incorporate a seatbelt design to remind Australians that seatbelts save lives.

is set to play his 100th AFL game tonight. The 24-year-old was drafted to Collingwood at Pick 57 in the 2016 Draft under the Father/Son Rule. Since making his debut in Round 22 of the 2017 season, Daicos has gone on to kick 56 goals.

March to the G'

Collingwood will be hosting the 'Magpie Nest Big BBQ' at the AIA Centre prior to the March to the G'. The event will kick off at 5pm with several fan zone events.

All food will be provided by Collingwood's community partner Coles and all funds from the event will go towards the Club's Magpie Nest program which supports people experiencing homelessness and the disadvantaged.

The March to the G' will depart the AIA Centre at 6.30pm.

Collingwood by 105 points.

Collingwood by 105 points.

How many in the second half?

 

[HarryBeef]

Bombers to be brave and bounce back with a solid performance.

Pies by 78.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Essendon by 103pts

 

[maskmcgee]

What a fixturing disaster the last round is, why isn't Carlton v. GWS on Friday night? Two teams that have won what, 17 of their last 19 games?

AFL were trying to get cute thinking we'd do a 2022.

 

[Angus Young]

Pies.

 

[PCORF]

Pies fly high into the finals with a big win, 65pts.

 

[Defabs]

AFL were trying to get cute thinking we'd do a 2022.

They also thought Essendon would be playing for a finals spot which completely backfired after their 126 point loss. Now practically a dead rubber. Only point of interest will be if Collingwood rest most of their senior players, lose the game to finish second and play PA at the G.

 

[YeoShuey]

Collingwood ending up second on the ladder would probably be best case scenario for them. Would likely face Port at the MCG which I do not see them losing.

I expect Collingwood to win this but after being embarrassed last round, Essendon shocking everyone is not out of the question.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Last chance for Essendon to make the 8. Need to win big

Essendon can still make the finals

Bit of a catch 22 for us. Essendon game could be seen as an opportunity to play into better form before the finals. However doing so gives us a more difficult QF opponent with no home ground advantage and pushes the path to the GF through a Gabba visit.

 

[Rustica]

Ooof this could get ugly for the Bombers if they have officially checked out

 

[BuildEmUp]

Last chance for Essendon to make the 8. Need to win big

by approximately 4762 points if our math is correct

 

[NetworkNerd]

by approximately 4762 points if our math is correct

Fri Night - Essendon beat Collingwood say 22.13.145 to 4.7.33
Sat night - Geelong Win
Sun night - Carlton beat say GWS 24.21.165 to 5.1.31

Fri Night - Essendon beat Collingwood say 22.13.145 to 4.7.33

Sun night - Carlton beat say GWS 24.21.165 to 5.1.31

Seems achievable

Win the QF and forget about the Gabba.
If they want the flag they need to perform against the best in September

 

[BuildEmUp]

Fri Night - Essendon beat Collingwood say 22.13.145 to 4.7.33
Sat night - Geelong Win
Sun night - Carlton beat say GWS 24.21.165 to 5.1.31

most probable outcome, hope you got the multi in . should pay about 8,000,000 I reckon for $100

 

[Defabs]

Essendon can still make the finals

Impossible. It would have to be 20 goal win and 20 goal loss to GWS. Better chance winning Powerball

Similar to Collingwood’s chance of finishing third. Just won’t happen but media discuss it as a possibility lol

Haha yeah I paid zero attention to percentage haha. That will teach me

 

[windyhill]

I’m going,are you ?

 

[PieLebo87]

We’ve lost at least 3 games in the last 5 H&A games of the 2023 season and no premier in the last 10 years has done that, so I say we just throw in the towel like the Cats and get everyone in for surgery in preparation for 2024.

1st or 2nd finish and a loss in the first final will see the same path to Gabba.
