Parish set a record with the number of possessions.  Will probably get high votes from both coaches (10 will go to the Akermanis clone).  But gee Parish is a frustrating player; runs hard to get a possession but lopes around when it is time to chase.

At the end of the first qtr yesterday he had 15 possessions with distance gained:  90 mtrs!!!  Its circuit handball work for him. 

Talk about chasing Brownlow votes.

He is the epitome of an outside receiver and very very vanilla. Just a Meh acumulator thats all he is Pass

    I see Grundy could out for 8-10 weeks for the pies. If so he will be paid approx $100k a game. 

    Collingwood were always good at splashing cash around for good, ordinary players!

    When will they outlaw knees up at a ruck contest? 

    Agreed.

    Too often Max ends up with knees in his chest but gets pinned for 'blocking' if he puts his arm out to protect himself and keep the ruckman at bay.

    Draper deliberately targeted Grundy's knees.  There was a ball up after Grundy's right knee was injured where Draper stayed down, took his eyes off the ball and waited for Grundy to go up and then jumped just high enough to reach Grundy's (good) knee.  Should have been cited for rough conduct.

    My immediate thought:  thank God we have already played Ess and aren't up against Draper again this year.

    Draper is lining himself up for a suspension soon the way he plays.

    Saw footage of how Darcy plays.  He also took his eyes off the ball and waited till Pittonet leapt before jumping in with his knee.  Pittonet out with a PCL.  Like Draper's action it looked deliberate.

    As soon as a ruckman takes his eyes off the ball at a CB the umpire should call a free.  Or do it often enough cited by MRO for rough conduct, fined and if need be suspended.  

    We don't need the better/best ruckman to be taken out.

    • 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.
