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.

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

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.

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

Hard to get a good view of Parish or Curnow.

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...

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.

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

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
