How do you know this?
Every player gets injuredā¦ Look at Bailey Smith now at Geelongā¦ Out for way longer than DPā¦
He came back, when finally ready and is smashing itā¦
Love the Same Old handle by the wayā¦ Feels like Iām 91ā¦
the bloke who was drafted in 2015, didnāt get a regular gig in the starting midfield til 2021 when shiel and mcgrath went down. The guy whoās had 1 decent season who his supporters live off as heās the greatest ever ā ā ā ā ā ā ā mid weāve had, the guy who canāt kick, doesnāt defend and even admitted to prior to 21 that he didnāt really take the training side of stuff seriously ā¦
Thatās the guy youāre actually trying to sell as one of the guys ādriving elite standardsā ā¦ that really does explain why the club is so ā ā ā ā ā ā then if anyone is actually dumb enough to believe, fall for or follow that.

Good luck being a Don as heās contracted for 4 more yearsā¦
I feel for yaā¦
I kinda doā¦
Reoccurring calf injuries over multiple seasons, is a very very concerning issue.
Itās only going to get worse as he gets older. Calf injuries are a serious problem that are incredibly hard to overcome.

iāve lived through the shittest period of essendons history, parish is a blimp on it.
by the looks of it he wonāt be playing much anyway so you donāt have to feel to bad for me, other than when people post the outlandish ā ā ā ā ATE did.
Yeah Iāve lived thru it all tooā¦ Big timeā¦ Itās gutteringā¦ But unless you can make real change at the ballot or more, you gotta stay positive, otherwise winter can be kinda puckedā¦ I learnt that a long, long time agoā¦ Ride the highs and lowsā¦ Thatās footyā¦ Look at St Kilda FFSā¦ Imagine if we had white in our red and black blood?..
We WILL come good, believe it and the future is excitingā¦ Life is soooo much better in all aspects with a positive attitude- trust me, Iāve lived it!..
Its almost like the really incompetent bloke who was pushed into just doing contracts was not even remotely good at that part either. Who could have possibly seen that revelation coming?

Parish soft tissue again. Do we just put him out to pasture for a good 2 to 3 months to give him the best chance of recovering from all these rips, tears and strains? Slowly build him up for the tail end.
He has had multiple seasons ruined, but he is class and still has a chance for a prosperous end of his career but his body is failing. Breaks my heart really.
Um how? Oliver was taken before our picks.
Didnāt we just do that?

What are the odds of that happening ? Itās a contract thatās going to really hurt the list management balance for years to come, fu Dodoro.
Oh no

Unfortunately all he did was play golf on the pasture.

Clubs would have only been interested in Parish in 2023 if they didnāt have to trade for him (like us for McKay). The issue was we had got McKay so we wouldnāt have got a free agency compensation pick.
I donāt think a 5 year deal on non crazy money is nuts, considering the market these days. Does Parish have a better resume than LDU who just received a 7 year $1.3m deal?
Now that itās been revealed that itās a 6 year deal, well thatās another thing.

LDU is vastly better in my opinion.
Bigger, faster, and better kick

I hope all red & black fans read this thoroughly and take it in.
10 good games in his career (out of what? 150?), a couple on ANZAC Day, and this guys reputation far outweighs performance levels.

Weird post to hang your hat on. Iād be surprised if anyone has said heās better than Merrett, let alone the best mid to ever play for the club.
