These poor kids that get drafted early, so much expectation. Someone drafted in the 50s or 60s might have the same ability has Parish. If he doesn't make it, then nobody really cares, at least he had a go, nobody was expecting anything anyway. If Parish turned out to be average he would be swarmed with critic media, haters and a reputation for being a draft bust

    Anyone who is small and slow gets the Sam Mitchell tag.

    Sam is a freak and while he succeeded, hundreds with Sam's physique have failed.

    Red flags everywhere.

    If you have a look at this kids quick decision making and ball use, you get the Mitchell comparison.

    ...but yes Mitchell is a freak and it would be asking a lot of anyone to come up to his standard.

    Seems like a nice Fellow, but he reminded me far too much of Tom Scully

    Big sigh :huh: glad we picked Oliver!

    After much thought, if the club think Weiderman is fit enough then its Parish at 3 and Weiderman at 7 if not then its Parish and Oliver for mine!

    And would be pretty happy with those picks!

    To be fair, he wasn't the only one. I changed my mind almost daily this draft...as it seems did many.

    I don't see you bagging him and comparing him to Spud Scully though. After wanting him 5 minutes ago.

    Round 2 vs Essenscum at the G

    Oliver the Bull to crush little Darcy like an ant

    I actually feel bad for Parish and Francis and the other Essendon draftees. Do your 2 years and get out boys before they start trying to inject you with garbage

    That's exactly why we picked Oliver ahead of Parish.

    Roos wants a top 10 mid to play round 1 and match it with the best. i.e Brayshaw

    At 74 kg Parish will be bowled over next year

    That's true, but the trade off even if they are average they usually get a second chance.

    Along with longer contracts the AFLPA should push for a greater pay scale for the early round picks.

    If they are good they get it though, play 22 games and you go close to earning 200k due to all the match payments. Play no games and you get 70k or whatever it is.

    He plays for someone else. Move on

    Couldn't agree more but I am sure, depending on how things pan out, there will be quite a few here just waiting for an opportunity to say "told you so".

    Parish could be an A+ player, but I know Oliver will be an A grade player.

    I was all for Parish....he might become anything...who knows..

    Oliver WILL become a very good player...AM happy enough.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
