In that game against Collingwood at Docklands in round four 2020, she kicked a goal with her very first kick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She has gone on to become a crucial element in Melbourne\u2019s forward line. She had her breakout game in 2021, where she kicked three goals in a half as the Dees impressively beat the Roos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not one to get high numbers on the stats sheet, she is one where the stats do not tell the full story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"29861\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/tegan-cunningham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tegan Cunningham<\/a>, <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"31017\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/alyssa-bannan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alyssa Bannan<\/a> and other tall forwards around her, she\u2019s been able to quietly go about her business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her leading and marking ability are second to none, and provides a valuable linking option for the Dees as they head into the forward line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parry is one who could well have a breakout season in 2022, and is one of the most underrated Demons on the list..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She continued to improve in 2021, but could go even further in 2022. Cunningham has retired, and <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"29739\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/tayla-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tayla Harris<\/a> and Bannan will the main focus of opposition defenders in 2022. With this, Parry could finally come out of her shell and become a dangerous target in that Dees forward line. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Melbourne will look to finally take that next step in 2022 and make it to the Grand Final, and Parry could just be the player to make that happen.
