Gold! The Prospector has struck gold right there!

*hopes that joke hasn't already been made half a dozen times in earlier threads*
A few times in earlier incarnations of the SCC forum but not for a while. Prossy is good with uncovering a few nuggets from time to time.

Parish has had limited nab games is there any reason for this? Has he been injured?

Not entirely sure, he only played a half first game and hasn't been seen since, possibly being rested i guess we will see rnd 1

Parish pulled up sore from the firs NAB game and was rested the 2nd and they decided not to fly him to Perth for the 3rd and get him prime for Rd. 1. He will no doubt be named Rd. 1 for the bombers and is an interesting prospect considering he racked up 18 touches in 56% gametime in NAB 1

There was some speculation he had a minor hamstring niggle. The dons aren't the best with disclosing all their injuries unfortunately so I'm not sure if it's true or not. There was an article that said he was fine for Round 1. I think it's alarm bells that he'll probably have a few rests throughout the season.

Mills, Oliver, Gresham and Hewett
Currie
Wells, Kerridge, Kennedy, Menadue and Kommer

Do you guys think Milera is a must have on the fwd bench?

Adelaide already have Betts and Cameron down there and presumably Menzel will be included at some point? Just have to question Milera's JS. Kid can play though.

Thats a bit of coin to have on the bench too, cheaper rookies to throw on your bench down there.
