We also donāt 100% know why Parish wasnāt named. It might be in response to something he either has or hasnāt done. If they were sending him a message by playing him in the 2s then one week will hardly do it. Thereās so many players i want to drop for him though haha.
look at rory sloan for example, around the exact same height and weight as parish yet heās a great inside midfielder.
he might not be great at the moment but the only way he will improve is by playing him through the middle in the ones, not on the flanks or in the vfl. I genuinely think he has the attributes to one day be a really solid performer, he just needs to be given a chance.
Heās already played good football as a pure mid, even in his first year when he was half the size of what he is now, not to mention the 2017 final.
Not exceptional football, and I understand the argument for him having a limited ceiling, but thereās more to judge his career on than two disappointing JLT games.
I agree that in an ideal world, he plays a few weeks of VFL to get some consistency going.
But he was a clear BOG in the VFL when the AFL team - and the midfield specifically - were utter garbage. Heās gonna play seniors this week.
