Darcy Parish has taken out Liberty’s Player of the Month for his stellar performance in April – on and off the field.

The star on-baller was outstanding in Essendon’s April outings. Parish averaged nearly 33 disposals per game – including a season-high of 38 against reigning premiers Geelong in another display of his capability against the competition’s best.

The 2021 All-Australian has been at his free-thinking best this season, particularly in his domain at stoppages where he averaged seven clearances per contest over the month.

In total, Parish currently ranks first and second in the entire league for clearance and disposal average respectively, as well as fourth for inside 50’s, highlighting his importance in generating the Dons’ attack.
