Iām pretty confident he will stay with us. You see the way he plays, the way he gets around his teammates when they kick goals, the joy when he kicks a goal himself. Iām a big fan of what heās producing right now.

So, heās waiting later in the season before beginning talks on a new contract? What is that about? Itās reasonable to think, if heās staying, something wouldāve been agreed to by now. Unless, heās trying to up his market value? BUT, history tells us, whenever a player holds off talks theyāre seriously entertaining offers from rival club/s. Some weeks ago Darc said he wanted to stay but wasnāt overly convincingā¦
Started the year fringe best 22 but might end up in our top ten.
Iād hold of contract talks too, big difference in contracts,

Heās just hit a patch of great form. His manager would tell him to build on it over the second half of the season to increase his value before re-signing. Very standard for somebody in Darcyās situation. Iād say the club will put him on another 2 year extension later in the season. In 2 years time if he turns out to be a superstar theyāll have cap space from guys like Hooker and Zaka nearing the end.

Club has been brilliant at keeping the group together - and has finally landed a ābig fishā. No reason to think we will suddenly have an exodus.

Callum Twomey says: Darcy Parish has proven two things to Essendon in the past fortnight: that heās best suited playing as a ball-winning midfielder.
Callum Twomey has proven two things to me:
- He reads Bomber Blitz. Many on this forum have been saying this since 2017.
- Woosha has other priorities, or did until about 2 weeks ago.

Callum has been driving Darcyās bandwagon since before he was drafted, pretty sure he developed a good relationship with Darcy if not his family too.

Reading that just ā ā ā ā ā ā me off all over again, weāve thrown this season away by not investing in the players we clearly needed to invest in.
You have to wonder what the Sydney game looks like with parish in the middle. What the Saints game would have looked like

Agree with most of this, however Heps is still one of our better clearance players. Iād prefer if he stayed onball and played the āMyers-roleā, similar to how Cotchin switched his role a few years ago.

Are we a better team with Darcy in the midfield? Despite career best stats, we got smashed by Richmond and beat Carlton.
