I just think he has a bit of the yips or lacking some confidence at the moment, normally a very good player and if you see him at Training he is one of our classiest players next to Watts and Salem. When he is on he is kicking goals as well, after yesterday's second half I came away thinking he isn't far away from it.

Is it any coincidence that Oliver is absolutely blitzing and Viney and Tyson are slightly down? All inside players

Hibberd is a gun , and will be a permanent member of this side bar injury

I didn't realize Lever was key position

Petracca will be a superstar of the highest order, where as McCartin might develop into a very good player.

Clarry's clearly been the best of our mids this preseason , with Salem and Brayshaw looking like they'll go up a level this year. Viney Looked a little subdued , maybe saving it for the real stuff.

If we use this years second rounder, that means we are out of the first and second rounds, which hurts our chances of picking a decent player that we may have had our eye on, who could be that Forward/Ruck type we have been after.

I actually feel sick in the guts for Grimsey

Rockliff for Garland and Dunn?

Leadership group then out of favour very quickly , what's the thinking behind it?

Perhaps our strategy is to get really good support players and develop our own stars

Dawes and Lumumba for Hibberd

For all we know he could be home to discuss with his parents that he wants to stay with the Demons. Who knows, there could already be a substantial offer on the table to stay on for another four or five years,and he is ready to commit.

Imagine when he is fit enough to spend more time in the middle along with Petracca , Brayshaw and Viney? Stop dreaming, the premiership could be a reality in a two to four years time.

Only a select few impressed me this much this early.......Flower, Schwarz,Jakovich,Farmer,and Hogan. I reckon this kid will be a star.

Haven't seen Petracca on the park yet, but this blokes the most exciting player I've seen pull on a Dees jumper since I first saw Hogan.

Every chance to be this years smokey and play more games than expected as Brayshaw did last year.

He still has two seasons at the Dees to go in which to build his bond with his team mates and good friends Kenty and Harmesey. Loves Melbourne and Perth is a pretty boring place in comparison for a young fella chasing his dreams. i get the feeling he is a pretty loyal bloke.

I doubt whether he would play Full forward or Centre half forward to begin with. The Roos way is to play the kids on the flanks and pockets to ease them in. If his pre season or Casey form is very good he will probably get a few games as third tall.

Look at the hunger on him

He has an awesome pair of hands and seems pretty clever too,perfect foil for Hoan.

Why would Parish slag off Essendon and say Melbourne were really nice? Maybe we told him we are going to take him?

I still feel we will pick up Parish over Oliver though as he is more of what we need, and has a longer more consistent body of work.

I still think Parish suits our needs more, with his pace and zip. Oliver although tough looks a little slowish to me. I think we have enough of the grunt types with Viney, Petracca,Vandenberg,Brayshaw and Jones

He looks like an Altar boy, so the name Parish is very apt.
