Parish will most likely go 3 who ever has that pick. Because of Curnow's size, I think he could slip to around pick 10 to be honest. Clubs will bid high for Mills, Hopper & Kennedy, to make the Sydney clubs use high picks. There's obviously Weitering, Schache & Francis. Weideman is more your key forward who clubs will most likely favour instead of Curnow. So in my opinion, he falls at pick 8 at least. Then there's Balic who's a gun mid. Collins who's the 2nd best key back who I don't think will go past Adelaide's 1st pick (currently 9). And then there's Tucker.

    Im no draft expert but Balic doesn't interest me at all. If we stay at pick 6 I am praying for Curnow.

    GC needs players, not more picks this year.

    But I wonder if they'd play 2016 ladder roulette with us and trade 3 + their 2016 1st for 6 + our 2016 1st?

    Then we can give that 1st rounder back to them next year in the Prestia trade : )

    We just gained 3 and 10 for 6 and a future first round pick.

    To those who have watched him play

    Is he quick?

    Is he a great kick?

    Hoping hes the line-breaking mid we need if we take him

    Didn't test well at the combine, which concerned me at first but most don't think it's an issue

    Apparently is a very natural footballer

    Reminds me of scully. Impact will be minimal

    Think of a smaller Angus Brayshaw/Nick Dal Santo in terms of he is a footballer first before athlete. Can play inside and outside, his first 20m is quick off the mark. Not your typical soft outsider as i have seen him burrow under packs and use his quick hands and smarts to get him out of traffic.

    In saying that though i have no doubt that he will start his career as a wingman and we'll see that outside dash and polish we lack big time. Also has the ability to go back and become the number 1 distributer off a half back due to his precise disposal.

    Darcy Parish looks a bit like an undersized Isaac Heeney. I am not sure that he fits in with Roos big bodied, tall midfield profile. Maybe we will try to pinch Callum Mills from Sydney.

  • Quote

    Then some players who no one talks about have like 14 minute packages!

    Hard to get a good view of Parish or Curnow.

  • Quote

    I see in one of the papers this morning he's been likened to Joel Selwood, albeit from someone out of the Geelong Falcons.

    Well, that's the best thing about us having pick 3 and 7.

    We're in a position to be the club that takes whichever player Melbourne foolishly overlooks at 3!

    Admittedly I know nothing of him, but this is my (possibly unfounded?) concern too.

    He looks a bit.... well, vanilla, if that is the right term?

    Maybe just MFCSS, but can't help but worry he might be the Toumpas in the Wines/Toumpas scenario...

    I've rarely seen a draftee likened to a current player actually turn out like that player.

    Is it just me, or are there far fewer highlights packages of players this year?

    Currently the only videos are from an amateur watcher piecing together play involvements (good, bad or indifferent) from two games that were televised in the National Championships.

    Parish only has one game of involvements in Geelong where he only touched the ball 9 times. You are seeing those 9 touches in a game where he was a bit down (The previous game he had 24 touches and was BOG.

    The videos are not highlights. The highlights will be done by the AFL closer to the draft.

    That's probably just Mick Turner doing his usual preaching. Every year he has a "the best i've ever seen come through"

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?
