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.

Say what you like but Andrew Hooper is a STAR!

Wasn't it the Larke Medal that he won??

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

Morrish medal winners from the past 12 years. Aside from Heppell and maybe Kruezer, all very average players

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.

Wasn't it the Larke Medal that he won??

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

Substitute for Jarryd Blair.

Il take your Jarryd Blair and give you Mungara Brown.. lol

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.


If anyone likens him to Jordie Mckenzie again it's going in my signature

could both be very good players, although quite different

would still go for parish before oliver

It's only because their both redheads lol.

 

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
