Does this mean that the Eagles are happy with that arrangement?
I heard that he wanted some time off early in the season to be best man at his mates wedding in Las Vegas...
An interesting situation....... The Board of South Adelaide approve Parry going overseas when signing his contract then a new coach comes in and tries to make a statement saying he cant go...... Then, we lose our best player.

..... Its one thing to make a statement but we need to think a little more long term than one game next year. Parry is the best ruckman in the comp and we could have kept him for the next 3 or 4 years by which time we should be able to build a team around him. Not a good start Ron.
Not sure if you would want to build your team around him ..
I know its irrelivent and both players are gone now. But, and correct me if i am wrong, but was it not these two players who have left the club, who represented that very club on an overseas 'mission'. Somewhat ironical in my opinion. says something about their committment. I think the club is better off without them and the club should be commended for the way its been handelled.
