    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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
