A name familiar to anyone who has been following the draft, Darcy Parish is bound to make an impact in the AFL in the coming years.
The Geelong Falcons midfielder has made a name for himself over the last two years with his supreme attack on the ball, courageous play and quick thinking.
Parish’s ability was recognised at a young age having played at statel level in the under-12s, 15s, 16s and over the past two years with Vic Country's under-18 side.
He made a great start to his 2015 season before breaking his thumb against the North Ballarat VFL side. Parish was still impressive however, finishing the game with 25 disposals.
Why pick him?
- Ability to take the game on
- Astute read on the play
- Mix of inside and outside skills
- Ability to hit the scoreboard
