Player Watch Patrick Parnell - Delisted

[maxlilly]

I like Patty alot.
He has a real attacking mindset which is exciting in our team.
Quick, evasive and good kicking skills and courageous.
Even being so small, he doesn't take a backward step
Hopefully he can finish the season off strongly

Tbh I think he may be wasted in defence at the moment, with our current midfield god knows we could use a bit more precision going inside 50.

Berry handballing to Parnell would be nice.

I would like to see him up the ground a bit.

There is a bit of Caleb Daniel there.

DBJ is who he reminds me of. Very similar playing style.

Hopefully he can get a sneaky AA at some point too lol.

lol, it's like listening to myself talk. He even pronounces words like me.

Freaky.

Heard his interview on MMM was quite impressed

 

[Gtowncrow]

Is he locked in as a career defender? What prospects does he further up the field?

A skinnier DMAC. I like him.

That's not a confidence inspiring comparison...

That's not a confidence inspiring comparison...

Gets as many possessions as dmac after 3 games. Should be a better player than him.

 

[glengowan]

Good on him, but I think he's too slight. He'll need to be absolutely elite with run and ball in hand to make it and I'm not seeing that yet.

Funny, a 20 year old with only a handful of games is not elite yet. Give him time to develop, what we’ve seen so far is a very clean player who makes good decisions with ball in hand and looks up to the level.

 

[cmndstab]

He's also only been in an elite environment for 18 months. Plenty of time to grow into his body.

 

[CrowBloke]

Re-signed to the end of 2024, at which time he'll be 22. Hopefully he'll look 18 by then and have some muscle on his skinny, underfed bones .

Just kiddin.

Parnell looks a footy player to me, but jeez we pick some scrawny, baby-faced kids don't we?

12 months?

Would be good if he could build up to a similar size to Caleb Daniel. Not sure it's a like for like though. Parnell doesn't look as well developed as Daniel was in 2014. Been watching his draft highlights and despite his size, Daniel was pretty cut as a junior. Parnell going to have a lot of work to do in the gym.

Not seeing any indication of it.

You must not have been watching closely.

 

[beartoo]

Said in an interview that he hopes to be a long-term player with us. Refreshing.

He's played 4 games.

I imagine one of the reasons he was overlooked in the draft. We do seem to like the immature ones with a lot of development to do to reach the level

Presumably this means we’ve seen signs and think he’s worth the punt

Good luck to him
