    School footy memories all over again reading this kind of list. Textbook exclusion! Not cool enough to be in the kick it to me brigade etc 😛

    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

    Trac and Oliver is a love story for the ages. It is why I don't worry about Oliver leaving. He would never want to play without his bestie.

    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.

    In primary school that used to be called 'waxing'. Especially prevalent during kick to kick in the playground.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
