My goodness this guy was absolutely putrid tonight.
So frustrating that he was on absolute fire and flying, then the injury in the Cats game completely ā ā ā ā ā his pre-season. He looks very rusty. Backing him to come good but we need him moving at speed and hitting the footy at top pace. Everything was flat footed tonight.
ā ā ā ā game Parish ā ā ā ā for a senior player
You are meant to be Brownlow material this year, useless

Heās injured. I wonder if itās groin. No speed or acceleration out of clearances. Heās having no impact do they might come clean this week. Then Perkins gets injured, fitness at EFC! Parlous state.

I said signing him to a long term deal was a mistake last year still think that.
Having said that i doubt he plays many worse than that over the next 6 years.
I donāt think heās fit, but we wouldnāt play unfit players so he must be good.
Yeah agree, he didnāt look right. Very sluggish.

This is not the Parish we saw throughout pre season training. He is just going. Hopfully he goes up a few gears now after 2 games back

Long term deal into OP?

Exactly. I hope they just say this week heās got injury X and they will rest him to get him right.
My guess. His last āsetbackā where he missed a week after he was meant to play was related to a week rest for a groin issue. Letās see.
Darcy has always been a defensive liability.
He is an accumulator and very good at it but he doesnāt have that power or burst of speed that the best mids do and he pays absolutely zero respect to the opposition and Iāve been critical of him in the past for simply watching opposition players go past him. His opponents know it and the good teams will play through his opponent

Heās injured though isnāt he? I donāt accept this is the same player that was looking like taking the game by the scruff in the preseason. Heās injured. I just donāt know what it is (yet).
Even at his peak he is a defensive liability. Always has been and always will be

But the club is satisfied with what heās doing and donāt make any attempt to chance things. There is no accountability.
Heās not injured if he takes the park.
The bloke does not have a single defensive bone in his body and we will go nowhere as a team whilst supposed leaders, like him, refuse to run backwards.

Not sure what footage our coaches watched prior to this round but how can they let Rozee, Butters and JHF run out the front of a stoppage constantly baffled me, and no changes to the roles around stoppages throughout the game,
Parish should have been subbed out and Hobbs given a more prominent role.

True! But heās injured still!
Looked so unbelievably slow that I HOPE he isnāt meant to be out there. What a waste of time having his man run off him all night when our midfield is already one of the slowest out there even when fit and firing.
The level of delusion in here is unbelievable he has never been a top line player and never will be, we made a massive mistake signing him as long as we did.
He doesnāt defend, he doesnāt have a point of difference, he chips and handballs backwards and seagulls possessionās.
