What do things look like for Darcy Parish
beyond 2021?
Shiel and McGrath have cemented their spots as two of the three mainstays in Essendon’s midfield, with the third spot to be ideally filled by a big bodied inside midfielder (Dunkley?) based on the clubs continued pursuit of a player of this type. This, as well as the acquisition of Jye Caldwell
and the plan/vision that he is to play a decent/important role in their midfield in 2021 and beyond, indicates that Parish’s already somewhat limited role in their midfield core will significantly decrease.
Parish has proven that he has what it takes to be a genuine AFL midfielder, performing well when given licence to roll as an on-baller/pure mid. However, it seems he won’t be given this opportunity in 2021 and beyond if he remains at the club.
Parish turns 24 and his contract ends next year. Should he leave Essendon to fulfil his potential as a genuine mid elsewhere? Or should he stay at the club and try to become elite in a different position?
Would love to hear what people think, thanks!
