Darcy Parish

Not having quite have the same impact on matches that he had during his breakout 2021 season, but injuries certainly haven’t helped his cause. Most recently calf and hamstring complaints kept him to just 12 games in 2024. He still gets a lot of the ball, ranking No. 3 at the club for average touches last year, but his effectiveness can improve. Usually needs at least 30 disposals to influence games. Locked away until 2029.

Honours

All-Australian (2021), Anzac Medal (2021), Crichton Medal runner-up (2021), Yiooken Award (2021), Tom Wills Medal (2021), AFL Rising Star nominee (Round two, 2016).
