Darcy Parish

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.

Missed it by that || much!


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


Parish is quick, skilled and competitive midfielder. What MFC needs.

Gone cold on Tucker SONS?

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.

Complete opposite player to Scully but anywho..

Need a Curnow v Parish v Francis thread asap!

I vote for whoever the one is that Hogan wants!

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.

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

Hard to get a good view of Parish or Curnow.

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"

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
