Luke and his co-captain getting the job done so far.

I think it is a great thing that parker is not seen as outstanding. Not saying he isnt. But it just highlights that so many of the under 25s are contributing to the best moments, the game changing moments, in most games throughout the season. If we are a side with a lot of youth, then this is what you want to see. The veterans playing their role and the kids on the rise putting in game changing moments that define themselves and give them confidence to deliver week in week out.

The coaches know

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Has pretty much been an unsung hero this year just because of how much those around him have improved and the fact that he performs at a consistently high level week in week out. But I think his performance against De Goey in the prelim was phenomenal. De Goey is a great player who's had an impressive finals series, but Parker absolutely nullified him.

To add to that, he's held the midfield together this year with JPK going down and it's no surprise that the others around him have been able to take their games to new levels with Parker doing plenty of grunt work in the midfield.

Sydney players have sacrificed personal statistics for the greater tapestry of teamwork as they try to win another flag in 2022

The beauty of the culture Longmire has created is that it starts from the top.

Not surprisingly, Sydney identified Jordan De Goey

as the Magpies' most dangerous midfielder ahead of its epic encounter at the weekend.

De Goey had torn apart finals against Geelong and Fremantle and was the equal leader of the Gary Ayres Medal.

But rather than turning to a younger player – like James Rowbottom

The 29-year-old, averaging 25 disposals a game this season, led from the front. Yes, he kicked the game's first goal and went on to gather 23 possessions alongside it, but his biggest impact came in keeping De Goey to just 12 touches.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

That was an absolute schooling from Parker.

There are a lot of stories and reasons for wanting individuals to win a flag on Saturday but I for one would have Parker right up there with players who deserve it more than most.

I am so glad this is getting a mention in the media. A few months ago when Warner was going nuts and the media were (rightfully) frothing over him, my eye kept being drawn to Parker. The work he was doing off the ball to open up these little pockets of space for Warner to use. The genius use of his body to defend opponents. It was Mills-like. But we've come to expect it from Mills. Not so much Parker who has always been a raging bull when he sees the ball. It's added a new dimension to his game because he's not needing to go for every ball, he's creating the opportunities for the more dynamic mids and when it's his turn he's getting better looks at clean disposals. And suddenly a 20-25 disposal game from Parker is arguably as effective as a 30+ disposal game.

And that article is spot-on, it's selfless, team-oriented footy right down the line.

 

[Kapers]

Having Parker and Mills in the midfield is such a crazy bonus, they're basically taggers who find plenty of the ball.

Also I was super impressed with Parker's ball use against Collingwood.

All that needs to be said is Parker is the epitome of the Swans now in the midfield group, the 'blood' brother if you like.

If he plays well on Saturday, we will go a long way towards lifting the Cup!

I personally thought he was best on ground on Saturday and was surprised so few had him in their votes.

Had very little help apart from Warner. The whole midfield was crushed when taken as a whole, thought he did okay and he's one of the few who actually stuck their tackles.

very little help? he had one touch in the 3rd quarter

padded his stats late

laid a few tackles as second to the ball

So that means he had 22 for the rest of the game. Mills had no impact, Gulden no impact, Hickey terrible in the ruck, even Rowbottom wasnt particularly good compared to his last month apart from getting some clearances.

Just dont think it adds much to single out Parker is all

why? he is the captain and number one mid

he hasn't played a good grand final yet

warner was outstanding the rest were junk

game was still potentially there after half time and it's time to stand up , he gave us this (at 0 % efficiency)

Im saying if the rest of the group stood up his game would have looked pretty good, feel free to disagree.

Parker was bad but not sure you can say Warner was great when you already criticised Parker for stat padding and half of Warner's stats and both of his goals were in the 4th.

fair point
he is a lot younger /expect less

but he set up mills goal on his own etc which is more than parker did
