Your saying we cant finish top 4 in 2025
But he didn’t that’s the pointAmazing that the narrative would be so different if we won or he kicked 2 of his 4 behind
I just dont see a KPF that we could use his pick 10 (compensation) on that is wanting to come to the club that is worth that?
Also if your moving Parish on, may aswell be moving Stringer on aswell and those opinions cant be exclusive. Your saying we cant finish top 4 in 2025
And what about the win? Its almost down to shear luck. The conversation is far far different if we win, surely even your stubborness can admit that?But he didn’t that’s the point
If your trading Parish then you dont think we can challenge as soon as 2025 ie top 4?I don't think I was saying that, but thanks for the context-free assessment of what every single BF poster is saying.

Sorry its a question?Again. Thanks for telling everyone what they think.
Because he wants to be at only 1 club?Oh Kano, if lots of clubs would love to have him, why is no one linked with a move?

Well if he kicks those goals we win, so it’s all related. I’ve been on the let parish go train all year. A win wouldn’t have changed my opinion.And what about the win? Its almost down to shear luck. The conversation is far far different if we win, surely even your stubborness can admit that?

Thus whats the need for Stringer? he will be lucky to be running in 2026
Get something for him. Top clubs will offer plenty for 2 years of Stringer if they feel it can tip them over the edge for a flag in 2024/25
Because he wants to be at only 1 club?
And has told the footy world this
I’d say geelong are interested but they usually keep their cards close to their chest.When is the last time a 'gun' came up for FA, let alone came out of contract,.and no one was linked as having tabled an offer?
We've even gone through the soft sell of 'we have to prove we're on the right track for Darce' and no interest reported.
Well if he kicks those goals we win, so it’s all related. I’ve been on the let parish go train all year. A win wouldn’t have changed my opinion.
How does letting parish go have anything to do with finishing top 4 in 2025. With 20 more midfield games into caldwell and hobbs we are likely a better side, plus more opportunities for tsatas it’ll likely we are a better side.

No of course but as I’ve previously said. You put your hand out for multi million dollar deals it’s your job to kick those goals in that situation. That’s what big time top tiered paid players do. If not you should only be getting 5-600 a year.FWIW I don't think missing a few goals in one particular game means much, Parish isn't a noted bad kick for goal generally. He didn't have a particularly great or impactful game compared to what we've seen from him previously.
Ok,No question here, adding a question mark to a statement doesn't make it a question.
Is a 3rd year Tsatas, 4th year Hobbs 24 yr old Caldwell along with Setterfield and Z.Merrett (Who id tag if oppo in this case) going to get it done in 2025?Well if he kicks those goals we win, so it’s all related.

And as I said the money we are about to pay him does come into it. You don’t want to come to a position where suddenly you want him off the books in 2-3 years when we are in the window.
True but just because a player says they want to stay doesn’t mean they will. He might want to stay but what if he gets offered something not to his liking, does he still stay or go get more money somewhere else?He's also come out and said he wants to stay, so it could simply be that behind closed doors they've already made it clear he won't be moving and that given EFC is already a big Victorian club and has plenty of cash, there's limited reasons for clubs to try all that hard to move him.
If your trading Parish then you cant think we can challenge as soon as 2025 ie top 4, can you?
And your answer?Again, statement, not a question. Adding a question mark doesn't make it a discussion point.
"Do you think we can challenge for Top 4 in 2025 without Parish?" is a very different question.

Who knows it’s 2 years away, we have no idea at this stageOk,

Yeh I was mor going along the lines of we offer say 750x4 and someone offers 850x5/6 . Surely that would make you think. You’d have to be brain dead to offer him close to the million.I doubt it was ever likely we'd offer so far under the odds he'd choose to leave, I don't think he'll get $1m / year type contract offers from anywhere.
He's a good all-round midfielder, but not in that top echelon of guys like Dangerfield / Martin / Petracca that would get the big money offers.
He's better than a $500k p.a. player, but I doubt anyone is offering him much more than ~ $800k p.a. Which is a number EFC can easily abosrb, and front-load.
And your answer?
Bartender: let me guess, two ginger ales?So Andrew Phillips and Josh Green walk into a bar...
