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.

Of course it does it's proven that the more attractive your torso is the higher your chances of getting the football.

Gary Ablett?

 

[smasher]

I saw Luke play for Langwarrin 1sts in the MPFL when he was 16 and he was clearly BOG.Apparently his season with the Stingrays wasn't as good last year.We will have to wait and see..................

 

[vonn]

Gary Ablett?

Must have a frothing torso.

 

[Riders of Rohan]

Thought I'd throw in a mention that Parker came in second for the Ben Mitchell Medal, the highest award given by the AIS-AFL academy...... Tom Mitchell came third.

 

[spuzzlord]

it's like looking in the mirror. except i have brown hair. and prefer red boxing gloves.

so how can i not be on the bandwagon!

 

[tonk]

The next Dal Santo. Except with a penis.

That's unfair, Dal Santo certainly has a penis........................you just need a microscope to see it.

 

[Membling]

So it's now not completely unjustified after the intraclub match...

 

[Riders of Rohan]

A new video just got posted on facebook...... wow.

[Jeffers]

Ummm jizzzzzzzzzz

That was an awesome vid. Shows how good his core strength is.

 

[Swans120]

He's got a nice turn of pace too. Kinda looks like Rohan when he breaks out on a big run. If this is the kind of play people were seeing from him over the last 2 years, I cannot understand how he fell to pick 40.

I've got no idea why the Don's didn't pick him up at 32? Would've suited them to no end.

 

[Swansujelly]

Have been puzzled how he fell to 40..glad he did. was considering him for my DT but not sure if he can break in barring injuries.

 

[J_Moore]

That first pickup is mental. Straight into the legs, roll and back up again, one motion.

 

[Swanee]

A new video just got posted on facebook...... wow.

After watching that i'm on the bandwagon. Loved the sandwich tackle he received just after the half way mark of the video, and still got the ball out to a team mate.

The Kids a natural. Always seems to find and deliver to a team mate, or goal. (recognising however that highlight videos can be a little deceiving, meaning, it's not a low light video is it). And very strong in the body.

Why did you post a video of Ryan O'Keefe???

When was the last time you saw ROK kicking with his right foot???

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

That whole passage where he tackles, wins the ball, spins through the pack and then dishes it off is beautiful.

We might have a serious steal here.

someone pinch me. He's a Jude clone but a bit quicker...beauty

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Why did he drop to pick 40? were there any injury concerns? poor performance in a final or something like that?

He isn't as good as Swallow, Bennell, Gaff, Polec, Conca, Caddy, Heppell, Prestia, Smith, Smedts, Atley, Pitt and Wallis. A lot of teams had other needs more important than a midfielder, so he dropped further. Guys like Hallahan are very similar to Parker so it was probably just an individual preference when taking those players over him. Definitely in the top 20 midfielders in the draft though

Thanks for that, if Parker dropped to 40 it looks like it might be a strong draft

The man-child has added 5kg to his frame. Be afraid, be very afraid!

[Bobbykirkkelly]

Hi new to the thread but I to am impressed with the early signs for Luke Power. Is it just me or does he remind you of luke Hodge in his highlights package?
