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.

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? 

[dazzledavey36 55,318]

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.

I would love this kind of accuracy.

 

[Diamond_Jim 12,627]

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.

I saw a projection of 10-12 weeks somewhere.

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.

Parish was no where near bog he kept going around in circles, degoey was much better

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.

correct, de goey had much more metres gained, forward entries and impact

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

Big blow for the Blues too.
