Sign him up asap.
I think the Stringer arguments comes from the percentages win when Stringer is in around stoppages.
Heās not in there often but when he is we win it or in particular Stringer does.
They posted a stat a while ago and Stringer from memory was number 1 in the league.
I backed laverde in before him, but have been proven wrong, although a happy realisation is that lav is starting to show signs.
If Lang hits his straps I will send jackets a scratchie.

Yeah but is Darce a grade-A dog that has a severe gambling addiction?

Very much on the more experienced end of the scale
Darcy would have almost played more games than those guys combined
Hmmm. Who did we draft the year before? I canāt think of anyone between Hepp and Parish other then maybe Zerret and Joey? Lang & Lav arenāt Captain material IMO, but Parish is an outside chanceā¦
I thought we all agreed that we wouldnāt use āParishā and āoutsideā in the same sentence anymore

some of DPs pickups and the way he dished or the ball oozed class. things you canāt teach. the one that he passed to langer which ended in a Begley goal was superb.
whatās more amazing that he can also do it in the wet, unlike almost every other player.
heās not a bad kick either, if he can lift his kicking to where his hands are, heāll be devastating.

Both you and Parish need to stop looking backwards and start moving forward with your lives!
Heās only half way through his 4th season. So heās still in that formative phase but becoming an established player. He had that excellent first year as shown by his rising star stats. Whatās interesting is that while we talk about his excellent hands and handballing, he is averaging more kicks than handballs per game this year. I thought last year was going to be a big year for him, but wasnāt. This year looks like it may be.

Outside development paying dividends. Kicking it more and getting it I50 more without compromising clearance work. Next phase will be to bump the disposal numbers above ~25/game.

Between 50 and 100 games is where the magic happens (or doesnāt). All those little things start to add up to dramatically improved consistency.

Heās far more damaging that what he has been.
You also start to develop a more mature football body that can run for longer and cope with the physical stuff.

Whoever told you that is an idiot. But you already knew that.

We lost games this year because we were wasting him in the 2s or stuck in the forward line when heās been ready to go in the middle since last season.
Iām glad heās finally being played where nature intended, and heās performing as well as I expected since I saw him in the u18s, but the way he was used in the first part of this season was a clear blunder, one that was extremely obvious at the time, one that went on far too long, and one which might end up costing us a finals spot.
