STRENGTHS: Clearances, contested ball, spread, accumulation
IMPROVEMENTS: Kicking, X-factor, speed

SUMMARY: Cassidy Parish is one of those players you know what you will get from them each week. He is one of the best stoppage players in the draft crop, averaging seven clearances per game, while he is strong on the inside. He developed a better outside game as the season wore on, spreading well to the wings, but his kicking, while improving still needs work, as does his speed. He glides away from players through smarts rather than acceleration, but does not have the exciting X-factor his brother has. What he does offer is a strong defensive effort and a consistent game each week, which should see him land at a club crying out for inside midfielders.
