    ok ok, i know I will cop flak from the PCers, but omg, he is the epitome of how we have been viewed by the rest of the teams in the comp for 50 years.

    I hope the kid can seriously play, or fight like a thrashing machine, because he is going to be targeted every game he plays, just for the way he looks.

    Looks like a character straight out of a 70's Medieval movie. Can someone photoshop a shield and sword on him?

    hahhaha that is ridiculous who gives two toss bags about how he looks. Can he play footy?

    So he needs a haircut?

    Honestly, that is what your problem boils down to.

    I see what all the fuss is about. If we're taking the best available, welcome Darcy Parish.

    Id like to see Olisik take on this now considering he judges a player based 'highlights'

    Cop flak from the PCer's? Mate who cares what they say...and frankly you have bigger problems. You don't want to draft someone because you are afraid of being teased.

    Really.

    Clean hands, not afraid of the contest, nice kick and knows how to find the footy. Could compliment our young midfielders nicely.

    PROS:

    -good mark.

    -good inside player.

    -good outside player.

    -finds the footy.

    -brings team mates into the game.

    -good kick.

    -good visions.

    -HITS TARGETS INSIDE 50.

    -Plays forward (good for new rotation cap).

    -tackles.

    - runs/works hard

    - Goodwin has already been watching him at the Falcons, talking to him in the rooms (confirmed by my friend who works with them)

    CONS (according to some experts on here)

    - too short

    -too light (even though he is roughly the same weight as Fyfe and Sloan when they were drafted)

    - looks like a Disney Prince

    Tim, can you kindly point out where exactly in my post, that I state that I dont want us to draft the kid?

    I've looked a few times now, but i cant seem to find it.

    Someone posted about his looks, so i added a light hearted comment about it. Maybe you need to not take things so seriously.

    Whats wrong with you people?

    Unless the vibe is wrong, we probably should only be discussing pick 7. Too many around town are saying Darcy is a lock for us.

    But this is the Darcy Parish thread Red.

    I think its probably considered appropriate to discuss Parish here. :)

    You did say that you would cop flak. Are you surprised now that you have copped it?

    That's enough.

    Yes, my boo boo.

    Jesse Hogan will be having wet dreams over the prospect of Salem moving into the midfield and Parish joining us and those two blokes kicking the ball into him,

    He'll be unstoppable, he was dominant with some of the terrible entries he got last year.

    I'm pretty sure we have every base covered. A delicious melting pot of crazies.

    Re Parish's looks, he'll only get targeted if he plays in a manner that attracts such attention. Fyfe is widely admired and praised. Watts attracts derision from all corners. Both boyish looking with pretty hair. Poles apart in the way they play.

    He looks like a super neat kick who will bring his teammates into the play.

    I think he'd definitely add to our midfield and I expect it will be him at #4, as we will bid for Mills and he'll go at #3.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
