Luke Parker
Luke Parker has plenty of football ahead and has already compiled a resume packed with impressive achievements. Since landing at the Sydney Swans via the 2010 AFL Draft, he has won a 2012 premiership medal, earned All Australian selection and won two Bob Skilton medals. In 2015, he was added to the club’s leadership group at the age of just 22, and has led the team as a co-captain alongside Josh Kennedy and Dane Rampe since 2019. While Parker is among the league’s elite midfielders, his strong marking and expert game awareness make him a genuine threat when rotating through the forward line.

Luke Parker
DOB: 25 October 1992
DEBUT: 2011
DRAFT: #40, 2010 National Draft
RECRUITED FROM: Langwarrin (Vic)/Dandenong U18

I can only think of 1 final where he stood up and was clearly our best player. Home and away specialist which will suit him at North

Think he's been better than that.

I will never forget how tough he was from the first day he walked into the club. He won numerous AFLPA most courageous awards and also didn't miss a game after having his jaw broken by a GWS player when 19 year old.

My son used to emulate his style on the field in the juniors (wore his number too) and I used to worry for the skinny opposition players.

It's a pity he didn't get to 300 games with the Swans, but he deserves this opportunity to extend his career.

All the best champ, you'll be missed.
 
For all the talk about Parker letting us down in big games, he's actually been better than most.

Here's where Parker sits for rate of receiving POTY votes in finals, 2012-2024:

1. Adam Goodes (87.5% of his finals - !!!)
2. James Rowbottom (62.5%)
3. Josh Kennedy (61.1%)
4. Dan Hannebery, Ryan O'Keefe, Aliir Aliir (50%)
5. Tom Papley (46.7%)
6. Luke Parker (41.7%)
7. Isaac Heeney (41.2%)
8. Errol Gulden (37.5%)
9. Buddy Franklin (35.7%)
10. Jarrad McVeigh (35.3%)

And here's where Parker sits for average number of POTY votes per final, 2012-2024:

1. Adam Goodes (avg. 2.63 votes)
2. Josh Kennedy (2.38 votes)
3. James Rowbottom (2.25 votes)
4. Ryan O'Keefe, Aliir Aliir (2 votes)
5. Isaac Heeney (1.47 votes)
6. Luke Parker (1.46 votes)
7. Jesse White (1.3 votes)
8. Robbie Fox (1.29 votes)
9. Errol Gulden (1.25 votes)
10. Buddy Franklin (1.14 votes)

Pretty good going considering the dozens and dozens of Swans players who have represented us in finals since 2012.

You’d have to think a club like North is preparing themselves to speak with Parker or already has.

The commonalities between ROK and Parker ten years on are pretty stark, particularly given Parker was one of the players that benefited the most by ROK not playing - he won his first Skilton and properly took his place as a star of the comp in a flag contender that year.

Parker may have to accept that he’s on the outside looking in now without it meaning he doesn’t get a shot. I suspect he’ll play seniors at some point in the next month and then it’s up to him to demonstrate that as an occasional midfielder and mainly a forward he is of value. I think he’ll do that too, he’s not a spent force yet as a player but unless Rowbottom gets hurt, I think his time in our midfield as a first choice member is over.

Most of us know that, it's just some looking for any cheap dig.

Dear Luke,

I can't thank you enough for all the entertainment you have given me over the last 12 years.

Your skills, continued effort, willingness to work hard, your leadership, and you willingness to put the club first shows you are a champion, not just of this club, but of the AFL in general.

I'm very sad that you are going, but know that you will do well wherever you go, and completely understand that you feel you will get more opportunities at a club on the lower rungs of the ladder. I'll keep following you even though you are changing clubs, and I know I'll see your influence on the midfield you run with.

Thanks again, best regards

Kirkswan

Get the deal done Swan. Pick 62 is good enough. Take the deal.

No it's not and not even close. More than likely will be dealt for futures anyway, why do we need to rush, he's contracted.
