Player Watch #26: Luke Parker - Welcome to North Melbourne - Konstanty and Parker traded for Pick 44

[hotchilli]

Very excited to land Parker, has always been a favourite oppo player of mine.

 

[DuckYeah]

I can accept “flat out wrong”. Not so sure about “lie”. I may be wrong, but my understanding was that Jy has always been a good trainer - that’s what I mean by his application. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t dropped his head from time to time. Could you blame him? As I mentioned just above, I think Jy was a prime victim to Brad Scott’s “big fish reset” folly.

Could you blame him?

Ah yes, of course you can, thats not what captains do.

Haven’t landed him yet. Appears as though Sydney want 2 x first round picks for him

 

[DuckYeah]

They’ve said their good byes and parted ways, now Sydney create resistance, “he’s a required player”

 

[blackshadow]

Can't wait to see LP in Royal Blue and White.

Hopefully the deal is done today.

 

[king of the road]

Was probably all agreed months ago.

They need to stretch some deals out. Can’t have them all agreed and go though on the first day. What will everyone talk about for the rest of the next few week?

All carefully stage managed and released to keep the clicks coming and ensure a steady stream of content for the next few weeks.

deal imo

 

[shinboner magic]

How hard do you see the Swans pushing North on a second round pick or does a third rounder get the job done?

We need to stand firm and not offer anything we don’t want to - swans don’t want to look bad with a loyal decorated player

 

[DuckYeah]

if Rawlings gets bent over in this Parker deal, he can pack his nose up and GTFO!

 

[Orange Peanut]

Is there seriously posturing going on over this deal?

Surely 5 text messages over the course of last weekend would have had this put to bed by yesterday morning?

 

[Event Horizon]

So what do we think it will take to get this trade finalized?
F3?

 

[Caracas]

Could you blame him?

Ah yes, of course you can, thats not what captains do.

Fair enough.

 

[RossHenshaw]

I’ve heard we will be offering our 2nd round pick in the 20’s & get a 4th rounder back with Parker .
I’ve got a good mate who works for an opposition club that’s ITK.

faaaaaarrrrkkk!!! Ridiculous

Posturing by Swan's before rubber stamping the Luke Parker deal imo

I think they misjudged how the fan base would take it, and thought it'd be more like Darling out of WCE

 

[Roadrunner]

Straight swap with LMac to Parker. Get it done

 

[Rod Stroker]

Time kills deals. The longer this drags on, is not good for us.

 

[Rod Stroker]

What do we reckon we offered him? Average AFL salary this year was around 450K, and he's clearly better than an average player. 550-600K/year?

 

[Lomas]

More in the first year, maybe tailing off to the average after that.

If so, hopefully it's a F2 for F4, leaving this year's picks intact

That's insane

 

[Rod Stroker]

More in the first year, maybe tailing off to the average after that.

More than 600K in his first year?

 

[hilly]

If we had offered anything with our R2 pick Sydney would have already accepted it.

I'd be staggered if that was the case. Opening offer should be pick 61 and/or a F4.
At most you swap F3's. Pick 25 or F2 in that range would be madness.

 

[Lomas]

More than 600K in his first year?

Yeah, I think so, why have one more year of Sheeze and George on set amounts. Then it can tail off significantly.
