Our prioritising of Parker over the years has hamstrung us and will continue to do so.
I love Parker and think he is a wonderful player and leader. But his skills are as a 3rd or 4th stoppage player who can be damaging forward. When he was behind guys like JPK, Hanners and sometimes KJ and getting hit outs from Mumford and Pyke he was outstanding.
But he shouldn't be the main man in tight.

We aren't that young at all on friday night we had 109 games experience(Carlton 70) and a median age of just under 25.5.
We are just a middle of the table side.
Fox and COR
Already in his ear I would say
Warner, Wicks, Campbell, Juzza, COR, Tom Mc were all well down on what they need to produce I thought.
I don't think COR will fix many problems but I hope I'm wrong.
Had much less beef with Heeney, Parker and Hayward’s games tbh

The quicker some realise the better
The young card is thrown out most weeks
Middle of the table is spot on
A bit like cripps' holding the ball resulting in a goal when the ball was slapped out of his hands
Thats what i hope we make the necessary changes to improve the side and not just be happy making the 8.
The inconsistency is just to great for a side with a age profile of ours which clearly points we still have a fair bit of work to do in cleaning the deadwood.

He had an eternity to get rid of it, tried to fend off and then dropped it. Grabbing the arm of someone trying to fend off is a tackle.A bit like cripps' holding the ball resulting in a goal when the ball was slapped out of his hands
If the rules say that's technically not HTB then the rules are wrong.
How about Parker getting pinged HTB despite having a hand held before picking the ball up. What's prior if you're being tackled 100% of the time you have the ball?
There is some truth to saying we are young, we have a few of the oldest best 22 players in the comp that skew it
The young group driving the game plan and getting results is what we need to take the next step.
And we seem to have a very cute, complicated game plan that relies on kicking through sides. It's also been picked apart by every good coach in the AFL. So the players need to adapt. This is a part of it imo

Wonderful leader, not player. He is up there with the worst composure and decision making in the league. Undoes everything he offers in ticker and leadership. This would not be so bad if as you say he was just a bit player. But we have essentially structured the entire midfield around him and whoever he's in there with. And we've paid for it every time we've come up against an elite midfield and he's been exposed as not good enough. He's just not the answer.
The rule is you need to dispose of it correctly once tackled...he wasn't tackled it was slapped out...but I agree with you some howlers for both teams last night
I also think we tear it up in open play where teams lose their structure and we can move the ball rapidly
But we get more whistles against and in games than ever before letting teams keep us in the phone box and reset all the time. Shit viewing too when there's no open play flow.

Between 2014 and 2016 I think he was an A grader. I don't really take three years of great form that happened six years ago to be "wonderful", but everyone's different.
Luke Parker is a gun and a goal a game mid
I used to be hard on him. Now I just appreciate him
7 tackles last night

Don't get the criticism for Parker. He and Mills dragged us back into the game in the second half.
He almost single handedly dragged us back into the Brisbane game after half time with his contested ball wins
Deadset gun

Great win by your blokes last night.

This is 90% crap. He's been one of the best bang for buck midfielders who can hit the scoreboard over the last ten years. Dragged us over the line countless times, last night was leading the fightback. Never shirked a contest. One guy can only do so much. Yes our midfield gets hammered regularly against the best, but we were always handicapped with Sinclair.
