nah its a travesty. kept our 3rd best midfielder out of the midfield.
The travesty was the scenario with our returning mids and how much they struggled & thus provided us very little drive in the engine room.

Do we dare traverse the Travis travesty?

Travesty is that some here, not suggesting you Speedy, seem to blame our returning players for not being consistent and/or for keeping second year players out of rotations, and thus disregard the greatest travesty of all which was the reason they were āreturningā. Travesty of travesties.
Travesty
PS put this in the same category as the āJobe and Hepp were crapā, despite being instrumental in getting us to the finals, camp

I was surprised at some of his pace, breaking away from packs.
He is an inside mid. Just put the kid on the ball and rest him on the bench.

Has all the tools to be a good player.
Needs to get his production up now and lift his average possessions.
For the team to step up to the next level its players like Parish that need to continue to develop.
There was a centre stopagge in the last where the was a bit of a scramble and Conor jumped up and Spiked it 10m. Parish lept, turned and dished before landing to Smith who was steaming past him. It was exceptional. Smith unfortunately blazed away rather than steadying but it was exceptional by parish

I was just about to post this actually. Has he ever cracked 25 posessions in a game? Even games where i think he has been really dominant his stats come out at like 21 disposals. I think to elevate himself he needs to start hitting 25 and over a few times throughout the year.

25 or more disposals:
4 times 2017
3 times 2016 (debut year)
career high is 29, vs Western Bulldogs last year.
Only 2 years on the list. And looks like he is setting up for a big 3rd year.

There is a simple explanation for this. Last year he spent at least half his game time as a forward.

Yep, his stats are good so far but itās this third year that he needs to elevate his game in my opinion.
I think he can do it so Iām not worried.

Itās not the easiest thing in the world to get 25+ possessions as the 5th or 6th midfielder.
This year he has a real chance to elevate himself into a starting mid, he will get his 25+ easy from there.
He will have a great year. Low draft pick, now needed more in the midfield. Classic third year breakout

Reckon heāll do well this year, He looks to be a driven footballer.
I donāt know if forgotten is the right word, but I think he is a forgotten star of the side. Loved his first year, and was just as steady last year without making a massive leap up.
Looks to building a strong body and the reports of his JLT game are very encouraging. Importantly, heāll have some excellent support around him, which will also motivate him to play at his good as them. Darcy is definitely one to watch this year.
