#3 Darcy Parish - signed to 2027

farking what! sigh

Why didn’t you bump this when the team was named?

oh well, hobbs incoming

The messaging looks ominous

If it was just a - ‘we’ve decided to be conservative and give him the extra week’ - then that’s no worries. But it’s “hamstring awareness from training” so he may have aggravated

I’m usually optimistic on most things but I’d think he is no chance on next week and could be longer

Every time I get on to a thread, that stupid head shows up yet again spewing bile about the club

You know when the club has sucked out @Speedy_Gonzales’s optimism, it really is end of days.

Awareness is the new knock.

Its code for 6 weeks.

I’m usually negative about most things and this is why.

The only positive spin you can give it is that at least they put him through his paces at training and made the call rather than him ripping it during the game and us maybe ending up a man down.

yeah nah.

All sorts of tests happen before you can even train. Every step of the way.

Parish and Reid injuries would make me ask our fitness staff whether we are training at match like intensity.

If things pop the moment you hit competition after largely uninterrupted preseasons for both players then it is reasonable to assume that you are training at under the required level.

…Who wants to tell him Parish popped it at training?

Scott had good statistics on how much higher the percentage is to get injured in the first few weeks of the season. Supposedly Shiel got in a bit of trouble last year from Scott when he said he was fit and hardly lifted a finger and got subbed out.
I’m not ruling out Parish has done something more serious than what the club has said but I think Scott has already covered the “if your not 100% don’t raise your hand to play”

Parish ruled out of Swans clash with hamstring ‘awareness’

Andrew Wu

Essendon midfielder Darcy Parish has been withdrawn from the Bombers’ side to play Sydney due to a persistent hamstring issue.

Parish had been named in the Dons’ selected side on Thursday night, but the call was made on Friday he would not head up north for the clash with the Swans at the SCG.

The Bombers say Parish has not re-injured the muscle or suffered a setback but has hamstring “awareness”. He got through the club’s main training session on Wednesday but did not feel right on Friday morning.

All this talk of awareness has certainly made me more aware of my own hamstrings.

Just informed my wife I’m ruling myself out of doing the lawns tomorrow, just doesn’t feel right.

See ya Anzac Day rish.

Can’t risk it.
Better chuck some ice on it. And it’d be a waste of ice if it also wasn’t keeping a couple of beers cold.

Well done to Parish for raising awareness about hamstring awareness.
