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.

    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

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
