I see Cal Twomey has just tweeted that he thinks it's more unlikely than likely that we'll take Parish.

    Im pretty sure that tweet was more in regards to him slipping to Essendon.

    Someone says "will be an Essendon boy very soon" re Parish. Twomey replies "more unlikely than likely", meaning he'll be a Dee in his opinion.

    Well if turns out we take 2 talls with pick 3 & 7 - then this tells me that Hogan's headed back to WA and won't re-sign.

    This also tells me that you like making rash conclusions

    I've now watched most of the Vic metro v country and I still didn't see that Parish was much good. Didn't seem to get into the game. If we do pick him someone please tell me that that match was unusual.

    If we do pick him up you'll obviously have your answer.

    Is that the game he played off half-back and only got 9 possessions ? If so, yes, it was an aberration.

    I'd recommend watching the AIS Academy match Vs Weribee Sue, it's the footage that sold me on Parish....just the first quarter was enough.

    Pretty sure it's the second link down on WJ's Pumping for Parish post.

    Was that not shortly after returning from a layoff with a busted thumb?

    If so, you can forgive him for a flat spot, I think.

    It was actually a good few weeks after he came back from the injury during which time he played in the midfield once for the Falcons and twice for Victoria Country. In that game however, he was given a defensive role and was therefore not in the play as much as in those other games. In the last game for the Vic Country team he was back at his best in the middle. So in most games when he plays in the middle, he's averaging mid 20s in possessions in games that are 80 minutes long with no time on - translating into high 30 possession games if it was an AFL length game. Not to be sneezed at.

    What I like about Parish is his ability to move the ball quickly and effectively from a tightly congested situation into space. He also seems to have very good awareness of when he's got a bit of time to run the ball out and when he's under pressure and needs to dispose of it quickly.

    With the Falcons and Vic Country, his teammates knew to provide options. My concern is that this will be completely lost on our midfield, though maybe the likes of Brayshaw, Salem & Petracca may be able to anticipate what he might do when he has the ball and run to the right places.

    Emma can get a bit attached to the academy kids as I think they get more exposure, I also think she likes high upside talent (due to not actually ever having to develop these kids!) and probably as a product of working at the Age and growing up as an Essendon supporter during the Sheedy years she favours Indigenous players.

    She's also a full time journo and only a part time recruiting guru.

    That said, she does have a decent eye for talent and no doubt gets some inside info about players that helps frame her list.

    But it does solidify my belief that the gap between the likes of Oliver, Milera and Parish is pretty small.

    She has no eye for talent and regurgitates an amalgamation of what she has heard from recruiters & talent managers.

    i suspect you are right

    and she brings out her phantom draft a few days before the draft when she's collected all the clubs last minute leaks, so naturally gets pretty close (a la toumpas couple of years ago)

    i'd be more impressed if her last phantom draft was say 2 weeks before draft

    These Phantom Drafts are starting to get a bit confusing considering the amount of Academy players in the top 10.

    Milera ahead of Parish ?

    The Quayle possibly risks being a goose.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
