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.

[scaryness]

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

2014?

Checked POTY, we gave him BOG in the QF, 2nd BOG in PF, and I don't remember any games after that.

 

[rustycrate]

Sparklewhatever in shambles.

Amazing news.

His article was a masterpiece

Got his first tag for the year. Kennedy got the most tags but Parker was our most damaging mid that year iirc. It was the only good game whoeverthe**** was the tagger's name was as well as they got delisted shortly after

And the entire mids shat the bed that day

To be clear I wasn't saying they are equal, just that both will be considered greats together.

JPK was a better player.

lucky we have had both

 

[BloodySwan]

Parker has been good in finals but he's no where near the level of Kennedy. I'm not complaining about Parker's output though, love everything about him. Super pumped we locked him away

 

[Tesla Tenet]

Luke has the ability, and hopefully the opportunity, to give us a great GF performance but Kennedy was epic in the 2016 GF rip off.

I knew he kicked a couple that game, but damn, 3.0 34 disposals 6 tackles. What a freaking legend.

I had no idea Kennedy kicked 3 goals that day.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Btw if Kennedy was named Judd or Martin he would of got the norm smith that day.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

If Parker spends more time forward as he nears 30 - that’s fine.

Best set shot in the league.

 

[kelpie_X]

It will be for some on here.

My eye is already twitching!

 

[GoTheSwannies]

I remember watching parts of the replay, and I remember Kennedy kicking an awesome team-lifting goal, I think it might have been the second quarter. But I just remember it was the second goal he'd kicked in a fairly short time span. And I was watching it with an equal sense of awe and sadness, awe, because Kennedy was playing at a level above anyone else, and should have been enough to inspire his team to victory, and sadness, because we all know what transpired.

I don't think swans fans will ever forget 2016

 

[Punts]

16 gf after the finger twirl he went missing like the 14 but most went missing that day

 

[Tedeski]

He'll win the Brownlow this year.
If not he will go close. Top 3 for sure,.

they mean nothing though like Mitchell’s

 

[Tedeski]

Parker's would mean more to me as a Swan supporter, much like the one Kelly won.
Tough like Kelly IMO. Played for far less than he would have got anywhere else.
True Blood.

 

[Tedeski]

Further to that, Parker has missed 1 game in 6 years.

 

[Millky95]

Won't be top 10 but will be the best Swan. Maybe Mills will get a vote or two more

You watched a replay?
You're a tougher soul than I...

 

[GoTheSwannies]

lol, I watched parts of it, still haven't been able to put myself through the whole thing yet. I will do in time though.

Oh, and nick off Damo you campaigner

IF ...
it was crucial the Swans retained Luke Parker

THEN ...
it wasn't as crucial that they re-contracted him for four more years. Not sure how that deal will be looking mid-2025.

...I'm sure he said something similar about Buddy's contract

Yeah, this is the bit that annoys me. He'd be the first to dig the knife in if we hadn't re-signed a Cpt & this years B&F winner.

Make up your frackin' mind Dammo!!!
