#3 - Darcy Parish thru 2029 (Part 3, from April 2025)

Monster

Would obviously be helpful if there at a couple of clubs genuinely interested in wanting Parish to get us a decent deal.

We would have an impressive list of “The worst deals in history” over the past decade alone.

There is. And he’s more than welcome to come down and play. Golf that is.

Tom Morris reckons he is on the way to Tassie next year.

There really are some amazing courses there.

For the full context. He said he’ll be at Essendon next year because there’s no interest and speculated that Tasmania might be interested end of next year. He did finish it by saying "let’s see how next year goes”. I think he was speculating rather than reporting news.

He was pretty red hot on Tassie wanting Parish

Their 1st 3rd rounder. Parish is literally 3 years past being a remotely good player, is 29 & missed more games than he’s played over the last 3 seasons. He has very very low value to anyone unless they are in a position to take a 50/50 gamble that he might get fit & be a slightly above average extractor with poor disposal. IF Tassie were starting next year he could be a target for them to have some experience in the middle but most teams already have better mids in their team or coming through. I don’t think he’s shown a flexibility where he could replace what Sidebottom was doing for Collingwood for example.

How does he know what I want?

Tasmania can be the island of misfit toys - we have more than enough to contribute

I’m genuinely keen to go there to watch the bombers

I just can’t see a place for him next year.

A third rounder would be great, even paying some of his contract

Players we’ve sent to expansion clubs. Neagle, Merrett, Wanganeen……………

Parish.

Good grief

Todd Ridley, Tony Delaney and Dale Kickett to Fremantle.
Seem to remember that worked out pretty well for us.

Especially if it’s a pick purchase of cap handover for next year.

Parish gone, bit of cap for 2 years and a middle first rounder.

Well if we cannot give him away, he might be handy depth. If he is not injured when we need him. Trouble is he does not seem to be able to get into form in less than the time it takes for him to break down again.
