What I find amusing is that Parish and Merrett are on 25 having played only 3 games together this year.  On that basis they would be approx 50 one-two's.  They simply play circuit work racking up possessions.  Neither of them hurt.

On Parish, he is taking a beating lately. 

  • Criticised heavily on Fox a few weeks ago for no defence and running one way. 
  • Passed over entirely in the medal votes on ANZAC day by Jobe Watson.  (He came second in the medal)
  • Then Leigh Matthews said:  if you don't look at the stats you would not have even noticed him in the game.

Ouch!

I think it's a bit harsh on the bloke, he had 12 clearances

True that some of his stats are inflated by little handballs but I think he would benefit from having decent targets fwd of the ball

okay why did I just stick up for a bomber player?!

Who am I to disagree with Matthews, J. Watson, G. Lyon, J. Brown, N. Reiwoldt 🙃

last year i was really hoping that the peptides would continue to play parish across half-forward so that he'd want to leave at the end of the year, and that taylor etc. would've been all over him

he's a very good midfielder imo but he's a 'third' mid - a la viney for us - not a star like oliver or petracca, and at the moment he's the #1 mid in his team's side

Go and have a bath you dirty little thing you 😅

But sadly I agree.  Anything over 30 touches and double figure clearances is a top game.  Obviously they fluffed around with the pill a fair bit which might be due to lack of forward structure/marking power but he's clearly a good player and hard worker.

He'll get more damaging as his career progresses and he gets some support in that midfield.

Our mids are so incredibly lucky to look up and see talls in Brown/Jackson/Weed/TMac coming at them or a Gawn sitting deep with a Fritter working the angles.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
