of course. that's the big question with all recruits, bob can they step up and translate their strengths to afl level?

i wouldn't compare him to viney. jones and viney are very much crash and bash, whereas parish has exquisite vision and very fast hands. he's very good at taking the first (and correct) option. his decision making is very fast which is just as important as leg speed, but his leg speed over the critical first few metres looks good. no deer in headlights here.

agree. i have never seen the attraction in virgins like playing school kids in afl

i don't think that is a very fruitful argument dl5 it's more important what you are now and what (people think) you could become, not what you were in 2014 or before

....unless one is seeking martyrdom

could both be very good players, although quite different would still go for parish before oliver

agree jack but what if the remaining 5 all (or some) commit a curnow-like indiscretion between now and tuesday unlikely i know but it could shift the dynamics and hence the possibilities

thanks, danny, you've helped to lift the fog a little though i had hoped your life coach special robert might have chimed in with some pearls of wisdom

hmmm......one year.......whatever it takes

so do i od, but my gs is stealing them think i might send a letter to danny katz for advice

if weideman's medical check showed no problems i'd expect it would have been publicised i wonder if the lack of news is indicative of anything? just thinking aloud

darn, you realise jack, you have just lit a big fuse under olisik which could last a decade

this is doing your head in, isn't it olisik? not many days to go then you can either go bezerk or get drunk from joy

think he might mean the physical checkup by doctor (medical)

don't disagree with this except i don't think it's right to just call him an outside mid. he certainly doesn't just hang around the fringes looking for easy candy. i saw plenty of inside mid work with exceptionally good and fast first option disposal. great awareness plus for someone to average the number of possessions he did in the shorter quarters played in u18 means he must be winning a bit of ball and knows where to find it i'm sticking with him for p3 and best available tall fwd left at p7

as religion is so topical, here are a few corny funnies (don't blame the messenger) ============================== A guy joins a monastery and takes a vow of silence: he’s allowed to say two words every seven years. After the first seven years, the elders bring him in and ask for his two words. "Cold floors," he says. They nod and send him away. Seven more years pass. They bring him back in and ask for his two words. He clears his throats and says, "Bad food." They nod and send him away. Seven more years pass. They bring him in for his two words. "I quit," he says. "That’s not surprising," the elders say. "You’ve done nothing but complain since you got here." ============================== StuieI was walking across a bridge one day, and saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So he ran over and said "Stop! Don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. "Well, there's so much to live for!" "Like what?" "Well... are you religious?" He said yes. StuieI said, "Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?" "Christian." "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant ? "Protestant." "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?" "Baptist" "Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?" "Baptist Church of God!" "Me too! Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you reformed Baptist Church of God?" "Reformed Baptist Church of God!" "Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?" He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!" Stuie said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off. ============================== A Jewish grandmother is watching her grandchild playing on the beach when a huge wave comes and takes him out to sea. She pleads, "please God, save my only grandson. I beg of you, bring him back." And a big wave comes and washes the boy back onto the beach, good as new. She looks up to heaven and says: "He had a hat!" ==================================

it's darcy polish for me

or another dane swan? agree he's not polished, but he does know his footy and he's a bit of a bull, at least against u18's but, i can't see him as a top 10 and he won't be around for our 3rd pick, so i don't think he'll be in our sights

yep, we must be ever vigilant there are standards to be upheld

ta, i've seen that one........thought he was referring to something different

i think the press is just playing with us, changing their predictions all the time just create some excitement and intrigue let's face it the players haven't changed in the last 3-4 weeks just the press trying to be the news themselves don't get too sucked in

which clip....link?

more interested in the medical, esp scan results

parish the thought

funny, i heard crabs were your speciality, bbo
