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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
