Yep, it’s not a death sentence.
With a slower pace he should be able to find the ball a bit more and build his confidence.

A thoroughly deserved omission, based on his output

I find it interesting that we are laying the blame for his poor year on the club not developing him. How do we know it is this?
Watson was poor when he started. One day he decided to get real and put in a huge effort to change his attitude, his actions and his focus. It made a huge difference. Sometimes the player needs to be the one to make the effort to develop their game, not just the club.
I don’t think parish is lacking effort.

Good teams drop underperforming players, even their most promising youngsters. Burton was dropped by the hawks a few weeks ago and was second in the Rising Star. Bulldogs dropped Lewis Young this week who looked like a 200 game player in his stint last year. Parish seems a level headed kid who will probably appreciate the opportunity to work on some things out of the spotlight. He’s had a baptism of fire since arriving at the club and has shown more than a few glimpses of what he can do. Not worried at all that he’ll become a very good consistent player for us.

First time dropped ever?
He sweats a bit and looks puffed. Has a vein top left of forehead that bulges a bit when heart rate tops 157 bpm.
Other than that. No.
This is a fkn epic post. Somehow managing to turn it completely into your bio. Haha. What do you lift, what’s your current weight and do you do skin folds? Also don’t quote your height in shoes. No one does that.

exactly. Just a timely reminder to not take his place for granted and to keep on working on his game.
Don’t mind it at all
Deserved to be dropped, wasn’t impacting games and hasn’t shown any real improvement after 2.5 years in the system. Hopefully dominating the VFL will build his confidence which looks to be severely lacking. I’m not bullish on him… more hopeful.
