“Parish is similar, (he is) really just forced out of the side not because he is struggling or anything like that, but because with those two guys coming in, one of the midfielders had to miss out.”
Good changes. Zaka and Smith will be refreshed and ready to bring the heat!
I’m a big Parish fan but his skills and decision making have been pretty off the last 2 games IMO.
Unfortunately with a near fit and in-form squad some players are gonna be unlucky. Bags keeps his spot because there is no better small forward to replace him and the forward line is working well, simple as that.
Feel that Parish might be one of those players that just can’t afford to have a down game. Had a few of them over the years, Ted Richards springs immediately to mind.
Oh, there’s recruiting wins all over the field. As I said, I don’t have problems with the actual team. It’s just weird to think what response you would have got if you’d said after the draft in 2015 “I reckon Parish and Francis will be playing VFL three years from now”.
