What did they get for him?
What did Collingwood get for Treloar???
I canât say I watched him closely enough but there was one point in the game he was with Guthrie, Guthrie took off to a jog and parish slowly trots behind him the ball gets kicked over their head and Guthrie increases his speed and parish jogs, then the mark is taken and I can honestly say I havenât seen parish run faster to try and get onto the mark to hand Guthrie over.
Well based on current output, donât think itâs Caldwell, Duz or Setters

We donât have the right cattle to replace them with the type of players we need.
Fark all, but that isnât the point.
I know you are alluding to not having the players to take Parishâs spot. But we never will because while Parish is there he will continue to stop other players getting the opportunity.
Sometimes you need to open up the spot to create the opportunity, or go and actively fill it with the players you need to take you forward.
In the mean time, what does Parish actually give us?

Wait I must have missed something.
Is it now consensus that Durham and Caldwell are poor users?
We might, but they ainât ready for senior midfield roles as yet.
If you saw any of the early VFL games, Nguyen goes about it differently to Johnson but he too looked very promising even in the shorter term. A long way to go , obviously, but there are the stereotype âgreen shootsâ on the list.
Actually, behind Reid, Nguyenâs injury is possibly the one Iâm most looking forward to his return.

He actually doesnât cost us a lot. Just the spot in the side.
The only argument for me is Parish v Tsatas. We need one of them. What we need to find is outside skilled two way players.
This place would go mental if we let Paish go for a couple of 3rd round picks.
How long does being ârustyâ with the ball last?

Not so sure about that.
Also, a spot in the side and list balance is a high cost.
Nope, Iâd sign that on the spot

Treloar trade was pick 14 and a future 2 for Treloar and some second rounders.
McCrae was pick 45.
I didnât realise Parish was rated so lowly.
Am I the only one who thinks the trade talk is lunacy? Iâd do it, but I canât imagine the club is even thinking about considering it. Like it wouldnât have even occurred to anyone.
It sounds a bit âMonday morning quarterbackâ to just declare he should be traded. I canât see it happening at all.
The concern for me, is that our midfield consistently performs worse when Parish is playing. Iâm not talking about individual performances, Iâm speaking specifically the performance of the group.
Heâs pushed Martin out of the midfield. Which is a big problem for us.

Just to double down as well, Iâd say Parishâs return to the senior side has totally ruled Tsatas out of contention so itâs clear where the coaching staff have the hierarchy. Tsatas is apparently gettable which only reinforces your point that Parish just is not in anyoneâs thoughts to be traded. For what itâs worth Iâd trade him out for a packet chips and give Tsatas the role.

You absolutely take 2 x 3rd rounders for Parish assuming the destination club picks up all or most of his Salary.

I donât think it is even about this.
It is about what steps can we make towards winning a flag and who is going to be there to help us do it.
Parish is just too unreliable and his upside is increasingly distant.
Open up the spot for a younger, cheaper (at the moment) player that might be able to move the needle or at least improve as an individual and us as a team, and the mid group as a collective.
They wonât. Weâd have to subsidise his salary.
Although by most reports the lack of interest in him meant we re-signed him cheaply.
Guy has had a long term stint out, a couple of training run VFL sorties and now two games back into a side not functioning especially well. Where his oppo has been settled and in handy form (Cats genuine contenders). He has been in the elite zone before. How about we see if he can settle back to that?
