Most complete mid in this draft who is available. dont [censored] around and draft him.

Absolute rubbish, on his best day Parish would run rings around him on the outside and is more than capable on the inside, i wouldn't at all surprised if he slips out of the top 10, impressive sure, but he's come from nowhere, Parish has been All Australian 2 years in a row.

    We will get 2 of Oliver, Parish, Curnow and Weiderman. Essendon the other 2

    Both will take one tall and one mid. So it may depend on the descepency between the 2 miss being bigger then the 2 talls.

    It would appear that's the case.

    I hope it's Parish and I like either of the other two.

    He didn't get selected because of OP.

    This might be a stupid question but what does OP mean

    Bontempelli also came out of nowhere

    Roos will go for the big bodied mid who can kick goals. Oliver is right down his alley.

    I think we will go Oliver and McKay.

    oliver won the morish medal is just over half a season of football so he has to have a fair bit of skill. he is certain in the mix in my mind.

    Do they vote on each game for that?

    Bontempelli was on the radar for alot longer than Oliver has been, Collingwood wanted him that whole year, Oliver didn't look like being drafted at one point.

    Parish is fast, skillful, can win his own ball, uses it well, makes great decisions and has a body of work to prove he's able to do it consistently. it's a no brainer at pick 3, not against Oliver at 7 but i don't think he's in the same league as Parish having seen both live.

    Parish isn't as damaging as Oliver. He gets lots of touches but a Fuckload of them are dinky little hand passes.

    Oliver breaks games open with bags of goals and his physicality on the opponents. Shits all over Parish in the air to. parish only got one contested mark in 14 games.

    Watching to many highlights mate.

    Parish runs through the centre and opens the game up, takes players on, generally hits his target and brings his team into the game

    Oliver gets it and bombs long, he's a brute but so was Aiden Riley.

    Parish to me is an Andrew Gaff clone but better at winning the inside ball, maybe Dan Hannebry

    Oliver seems to have alot of people seduced by the Cripps/Wines comparisons and not as much on what he's actually done.

    Like winning Morish medal in half a season? Has any player ever done that before?

    Plenty of scrubbers win Morrish Medals.

    It's hardly a badge of honour.

    Oliver is a bull and bangs it long, like Andrew Moore and Ed Curnow

    Parish is classy and an inside-outside threat like Gaff, a young Ben Cousins, a young Garry Ablett Jnr, Kieran Jack and Robbie Gray

    When are you going to ask Parish to marry you, mate?

    I like how flippant you are with your comparisons for Oliver though to try and talk him down. He has been likened to players such as Wines and Cripps. Not bad really.

    And Parish is closest to an Andrew Gaff type of player. If he was all of the above, which you mentioned, then he would going at Pick 1.

    You're right, but I couldn't be bothered editing it after I realised.

    Substitute for Jarryd Blair.

    OK, so I looked at Oliver again on youtube and he does look a pretty exciting prospect. When I first watched him I didn't want to like him and was overly critical - cognitive bias and all that.

    I really like Parish and reckon he's exactly what we need, however, Oliver has some exciting AFL quality traits.

    Looking forward to Tuesday night.

    I'll admit his highlights look great, but why has he not been able to produce like this before the 2nd half of this year?

    As someone mentioned before, and numerous times before that, he was injured with OP (oestitis pubis) for the first half of the season and took time to get going.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
