So glad we didn’t take parish. Jason Taylor’s best call yet

Ironic thing is Darcy Parish had 43 disposals on Saturday night against Richmond.

Yet didn't even poll a coaches vote.

Stark contrast..

    His tackling is also up there as well.  3rd highest tackle average in the team and equal 59th in the AFL.

    He is 6th on the all time "tackles per game" list at 5.9.

    And he has the highest ever "contested possessions per game" at 15.3 (a long way ahead of Cripps who is 2nd with 14.6).

    So he is in the all time record conversation for disposals, contested possessions, clearances, and tackles, yet people think he needs to kick more goals to be one of the greats?

    Round 11  (+5) = 910 - 135 Matches Played

     P Cripps = 1000  Clearances - 144 Matches Played

    =90 / 9 = 10 per match to equal.

     

    drifting, drifting...

    He also needs only 216 disposals to hit 4000.

    I think the record is Tom Mitchell (137 games), with Greg Williams 2nd fastest at 140 games. 

    Clarry is currently on 132 games so he needs an average of 43.2 to match Tom (unlikely) but is very likely to end up in second.

     

    Clarry did notch up 2000 Contested Possessions today is his 132nd though, which very much could be a record.

    After today he needs 34 more disposals next week to complete 4000 disposals in his 138th game, placing him second fastest of all time to that mark.

     P Cripps = 1000  Clearances - 144 Matches Played

    =77 / 7 = 11 per match to equal.

    I reckon he’s playing at about 80%. His hand is still impeding him a bit.

    He’s such a good player to watch as a supporter. He just gives absolutely everything.

    Thanks EO, that's a really good write-up.  I can't recall Oliver getting much press at all previously.

    It makes it sound like Clarry is from Echuca, but I thought he hailed from Mooroopna (Shepparton).

    Probably one of the worst edited videos I've ever seen for a supposed highlight reel. Some clayton isn't even involved in and one is literally an essendon goal. Even the title is wrong. Thought I would share for the lols.

    Agree ... very very average! Please do the great man justice when compiling a "highlights" reel.

    Agree. It’s clearly a joke.  Surely.

    I know he’s currently in London on holidays but the club should arrange for Echuca/Mooroopna’s favourite son to send a message of support for those doing it really tough at home with the floods.

    Surely MFC chooses Oliver ahead of Parish.

    Oliver is like Wines... a COMPETITOR.

    @picket fence

    yes we called it … there wasn’t outrage when MFC chose Oliver.  WE WERE VERY HAPPY. He was the player we wanted !! And what a superstar he is.

    I was very please when we selected him because he made an unbelievable effort to get fit before the AFL camp and showed he wanted a place on an AFL list.

    He was the Morrish medal winner in 2015 so the talent was there but he needed to show he was serious about becoming an AFL player.

    A good insight into Clayton’s mindset as well as how cruel the AFL industry can be for young players looking to get drafted. Also some good insights on life inside the club.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
