I think the AFLPA  is funded by the AFL.

And therefore TV companies who run the AFL.

Hence they get access to the rooms.

The AFL will do anything to make money.

It has no ethics.

It has been raised over another previous incident.  Access to the rooms is okay pre/post and breaks but should be blocked when it's an injured player during the game.

    What time of the game was the Dr interaction? 

    Immediately after he was taken of the ground following a knee to the head.

    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.

    I'm always drawn to the hard runners who get to lots of contests so naturally I look at Parish's game as a decent one but he really didn't do much with it or hurt the opposition by foot. For a contested bull he had 15 contested possessions so it does seem like there were a lot of dippy dappy handball receives for him in his game.

    I'm a fan but he needs to evolve a bit with more effective kicks or a goal a game. Just something a bit extra than handball, handball, handball.

    A few Essendon supporters rang SEN earlier this morning LH saying Parish was BOG by a mile which I don’t agree with. He only had 3 inside 50s from his 44 possessions, 30 in a half is a fair effort but I thought DeGoey was far more influential in the first half than Parish.

    Didn’t Oliver have 41 touches for over 800 metres gained this round?

    For someone like Darcy Parish to get 44 disposals in the game, he only had 310 metres gained.

    That's pretty poor and shows that his impact wasn't as significant as what Bomber supporters may tell you.

    Has no issues getting the ball but when you have zero hurt factor and happy to chase 15m dinky kicks then you're adding nothing to the team.

    Collingwood were lucky with their accuracy. Sure you make your own luck but anything over 75% accuracy is luck. They operated at 84% accuracy.

    A score of 13 goals 5 points is more towards the outer mean. On that score they win by one point.

    We operated at around 30% accuracy on the weekend

    The week before we were 16.4 at 3/4 time and 19.5 before finishing with a rushed behind to 19.6. Good accuracy comes and goes and is generally reliable as Melbourne weather for all clubs.

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

    Its not the role of inside contested players to get huge metres gained or i50's. Generally if they are 50/50 handball to kick then they are doing wonderful things. This is why Clarry's games on the weekend was so phenomenal. 41 touches, 22 contested and 600 odd metres gained with a half or so dozen of i50's. This is definitely what you want but is not the norm. I would look at this performance and say Clarry has exceeded expectations of his role on Sun night.

    Parish's game with 44 touches tells you he made it to lots of contests, probably had a high hb:kick ratio and probably contributed to his teams high CP numbers. Yes he did have a few cheap non-influential possessions but his objective is to get the ball into space for his team mates to have time to deliver an effective disposal. To me he did what he was asked to do to a very high level. Was it Clarryesque, probably not, but it was still a great performance.

    I think they are all guessing. At lunch time there was no official news on what the scans revelled.

    Yeah for sure, it can become a throw away line to say "possesions don't matter it's what you do with them that counts." 

    With Parish I just feel he needs to add a little extra, it's a real value driven game now and a midfielder like that needs something else to set him apart. I thought he played a good game though.

    Spot on. For an inside midfielder that racks up possessions, to be set apart, you need to have much more in your kit than handball to the outside. Otherwise you just end up like Macrae, Libba, Steele, Shuey etc. All very good players, but every team in every generation will have one.

    Essendon need a Choco Williams. They can't [censored] have him!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
