I would like to know how he âunwittinglyâ played through a broken thumb⌠wtf is wrong with our medical team that they donât pick up on injuries that require surgery?!
Also if the break for surgery allowed him time to have a âmini preseasonâ and âget fit enoughâ then why didnât he do that in proper preseason? Why did he come into the season underdone and why wasnât that identified earlier?
So many questions relating to the start of our season and all of them point to the fact that we were playing a squad that wasnât ready fitness wise and a lot carrying significant injuries (not just niggles) and it cost us an entire season in the end.
What is done is done⌠but I hope that we donât repeat the mistakes next year. I also hope that serious questions are being asked as to why it happened.
Heâs a young player and each preseason has cumulative benefits.
As a third year player he had only done 2 full preseasons. So was never at his athletic potential. The mini pre season mid year has accelerated his development.
One more proper preseason this off season and he is primed.

The Parish was awesome playing under the milky way last night. Could see how hard he was pushing, legs full of lactic acid covering the ground up and back. His running looked a lot like a mixture between Cousins and Sloane.
Jack of all trades type, doesnât excel in a particular aspect physically.
I remember going to a training session when he just got dropped and was doing extra fitness training. My assumption was even without the thumb surgery he would have spent a month outside of AFL working on his tank.
I really hope he does everything he can to have a great next season by doing his own training outside of the preseason. Zaka does running in America, Oliver set a preseason goal to swim over 100km to increase fitness. Hopefully he does something like that.
In my best 2.
Broken thumb happened through the game, not uncommon for player to play through the pain with those sorts of injuries.
How are the medical staff supposed to diagnose a broken thumb if they donât know to look for it? You canât just look at someone and see that their thumb is broken. Until Parish comes to them and says he thinks thereâs something wrong with his thumb what are they supposed to do?
As for the mini-preseason, you canât do pre-season fitness loads in season when you need to conserve your energy and body for the weekends game and spend half your week in recovery. If he does that all that running on top of playing games heâd be moving like heâs stuck in mud and/or getting injured. He didnât come into the season underdone, heâs just a kid whoâs fitness is a work in progress, like everyone else who comes into the AFL.
Thereâs nothing to indicate that the playing list overall was unfit at the start of the year. Weâve generally run games out well, and most of our serious injuries havenât been soft tissues. You can kick and scream about JD being mismanaged if you like (without any actual evidence one way or another) but in regards to the rest of the list itâs just nonsense.
Serious questions do need to be asked about this year, but itâs just as important to identify the right issues as it is to address them.

Kicking seems to improved a bit since he came back. Actually seems almost better on his left than his right foot now.
At the Port game I noticed just how often he was the extra Man in getting to the contest or applying pressure, he done so much more then you could see on the TV. He was simply awesome.

Kane Cornesâs call on our 2015 draft is looking a tad threadbare.
But, then again, the Cornes family are all knobshines.
what did he say about it?
Parish, Francis, Tippa, Brown, Redman and Hartley. That could be one of our best drafts of all time when those guys are all done

The extra running Darcy did when out with the thumb has been the penny dropper for him I reckon.
Just getting to ,and influencing,more contests- hence more of the ball.
And better decision making,as not so fatigued.
