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.

[Millky95]

If he plays most game he'll crack the 300 mark. Incredible

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Gerald Healy sources at the Swans is impeccable.

Did he say anything about Dawson ?

Big sigh of relief here keeping Parker was absolutely crucial.

 

[BloodySwan]

Awesome to sign Parker on. 4 years is miles away from the 2yrs which kept getting reported.

 

[ashep]

Sparklewhatever in shambles.

Amazing news.

 

[Swan4Life]

Love Parker and therefore love the contract extension. The first bit of good news in an otherwise depressing finals series.

But dammit, I love Dawson and Hewett as well.

Get it done Harley - NOW!!!

 

[Ticky009]

Let's add this one to the official Parker thread

 

[The King!]

No surprise he wasn’t going

Now dawson please

 

[Nuggetz]

YESSSS

 

[CheapCharlie]

Would have preferred 3 years but he is a A grade player. I thought he was gone to the Gold coast

 

[Tesla Tenet]

Good start, now Dawson

[Mister B]

Can we assume from the stumble towards the end that it was Essendon that was in to him?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Can we assume from the stumble towards the end that it was Essendon that was in to him?

LOL it was!

 

[The Gong]

For someone who is a Swan for life he sure has been locked in to be playing for a lot of other clubs.

Pretty happy to have him. Nobody works harder out there and he's a natural leader. He can lead these young developing players to another flag.

 

[FreeAgent1]

Other good news (3rd hand) - this was agreed to prior to the Neale news, so we didnt get gouged for extra $100k p.a. from potential Lions interest.

Timing worked out excellent, in another week it may have resulted in another lost star.

Does anyone know if the 4th year is a trigger?

 

[hairy biker]

Does anyone know if the 4th year is a trigger?

It will be for some on here.

 

[Kapers]

We kicked 2.7 in the last quarter against the Giants, and we couldn't even rely on Buddy to perform his magic.
It shows you how valuable his sharp shooting is, and I would of backed him to kick the goal if he got the opportunity.

I am BEYOND relieved that I never have to watch him kick a goal for another club.

:

"Luke has been one of the players setting the standards for our group for a long time now. He leads by example, on and off the field, epitomises the culture of our club, and continues to show the way for our young players".

And that, ladies & gents, is why his signing is MASSIVE.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Can we assume from the stumble towards the end that it was Essendon that was in to him?

wash your mouth out! he was mistakenly going to say SCG.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

And on a serious note. The deal was always going to get done, it's just good to have it finally settled.

He was huge for us in the latter part of the year with Mills & Kennedy missing games and almost single-handedly battled the Giants midfield. That performance was pure grit and determination.

 

[Prez]

Great news he has led the team brilliantly the last couple of years and makes him a Swan for life. If the Vic media ever looked North occasionally they would see he is one of the best captain in the league. Now keep going and sign Dawson and the others , have a big preseason and take the next step.

playing for other colours other than the red and white. So glad it's not going to be a reality.
On his way to become a Bloods legend.

 

[scaryness]

Yeah don't underestimate or underappreciate the likelihood that Parker finishes as an all-time great Swan.

4 years gives him time to be a 300 game player, possibly more B&Fs and in a best case scenario a premiership captain.

He and Kennedy will go down in history as two of our best ever players.

 

[The King!]

would need a good finals series to even get near kennedys level

 

[Punts]

would need a good finals series to even get near kennedys level

His biggest downfall IMO
