I did see the game and I'm afraid it was a bit of a "chook game" for the Toump at times. He will improve though.

Toumpas 17 v Wines 9 touches on sat

Toumpas wins.

Thats it argument settled.

 

 

Yeah, why was Wines so crep on Saturday? Was he ill? Was Viney tagging him? Must have been one of the least effective games he's played, just never seemed to get into it.

It's the new haircut 'Akum', he's getting ahead of himself.

Viney was better than both of them combined.

Oliver already has me salivating at how good he is going to be in a year or two.

Early days but Parish looks damn good. 

Agree'd! he looked very good, not as good as Oliver but i don't think we'd have any regrets if we did pick Parish over Oliver

Parish looks very good. He looks the safe bet player who will be a good B grader to me. Oliver is more raw, but with that comes more upside, and the early signs are very promising.

Essendon had loose players everywhere, including Parish who appears to know how to make space.

We already know how Oliver copes in traffic - very well - so let's see how Parish goes when he inevitability cops the heat Oliver appears to relish.

Two very different players and both have made excellent starts to their AFL careers.  If we were in a position to have both, I would have grabbed that with both hands!

Parish looks very good, as does Oliver. Parish needs to put on some bulk, whereas Oliver needs to slim down and tone his body a bit.

Posted (edited)

If you judged it by Saturday it would be Parish without question. However, a hell of a lot went wrong for the entire side and I suspect Oliver would have also played a blinder if he was given the same ride afforded Parish. Let's not pretend though that Parish wasn't very good. As for Parish's arrogance (according to posters)....loved it. Want that for our club.

Early nomination for post of the season!

Still very happy with Oliver. Just wish we had a Zaharakis and/or Zach Merrett. 

Clarry showed his class on numerous occasions on the weekend, including a clever 4th quarter goal to give us some chance. But the deck was stacked against him and he did look tired. 

We know he isn't going to have the fitness base of a kid who's been in the elite academies all the way through. 

Some time at Casey to let him work on his outside running and getting more uncontested possessions, kicking the footy more (with both feet) and handballing on his left will do wonders for Oliver's development in my opinion. He could average close to 20 touches at AFL level just on sheer ability but he'll wear down and maybe not learn all that much.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
