If I were basing things off these two JLT games - no. But there may be other criteria I’m not aware of. Same can be said about a few ‘best 22’ players to be honest - Zaka, Langford, Merret - there’s stuff we don’t know.
Of course he looks like ■■■■
He doesnt get played in his position
He attended about 4 center bounces tonight,
And played 70% of the game As a forward pocket.
I genuinely hope he asks for a trade along with laverde to a team
Who promises them midfield time because for some fcking retarded reason jon worsforl sees more in langford and myers than these two.
Parish averaged 20 disposals playing pure mid in his debut season. He can play.
There may not be criteria we know about yes- but we are not privy to that. On face value, I would not pick parish, Langford or zaharakis round 1. And that’s a BIG chunk of our midfield gone. Personally, I would not play parish or zaharakis on exposed form and give Langford another chance
I get that. I just don’t really understand why Langford and Parish needed such low minutes tonight. Has either one had an injury during pre-season?
anyway, I’m not bothered tonight. I missed the first half. I thought the second half we controlled most of the play and just made some typical pre-season clangers.
In order of JLT Performance Rating Statistical Performance, I’d go Zaka>Langford>Parish.
I’d also be a fool to make important decisions without having the right info.
I didn’t see much point in giving the 3 young blokes the last 10 minutes either but obviously the club had a plan in place for all these players going into the game. Who knows maybe Parish and Langford have been feeling sore during training.
No one I am pretty sure around here is privy to all of the relevant info. We can only comment on what is in front of our faces. On available evidence Parish is going to be extraordinarily lucky to be in the round 1 team. We saw last year that he came back ok after some vfl form.
Yeah, I agree with that - still have them in that order though. Maybe Zaka level with Langers. Both pretty poor-looking. But again - lots I don’t know. I’ll wait till a few games in to make an semi-educated judgement.
