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.

[SM]

Wicks playing vfl after all and no Parker, Wtf?

 

[caesar88]

So Parker's playing after all hey.

Well...

 

[Kbroome]

So bloody happy to see Parker getting up. Knew something was iffy with Wicks named in both

 

[JZ_Skitzo]

People moaning about Parker not getting a game and also banging down the door for Sheldrick to also come into the side.

 

[SM]

View attachment 2046705

So Wicks got a kick up the ass by being dropped then brought back in then dropped again?

If anything this justifies the criticism from myself and others, but good to know you'll continue to play both sides of the issue.

Just a bizarre saga that would have been resolved if your initial instinct was the right one and Parker had come in for Heeney. That's what's ended up happening anyway..

 

[ashep]

So are you saying Parker is in his last season?

Seems harsh but your call.

I'm proving that any suggestion he is near the end and wouldn't get another gig elsewhere shows a very odd lack of footy nous.

(Now watch him have a mare today )

 

[Dan87]

Looking forward to having you back, champ

 

[BloodySwan]

Excited to see Parker in. Swans legend, deserves more respect than what he gets

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Has there been news on Parker coming into the side? I hope he gets the run today, and obviously I'm in support of it.

I have no doubt Parker will prove the doubters wrong.

Nothing official.

Just make sure you call him out for a terrible game in the game day thread. Almost always guarantees the player does something awesome two minutes later!

Mate if he flops today I'll have to go into hiding for a week given how hard ive been campaigning!

 

[JZ_Skitzo]

It's official. He's in.

In as sub. But I'll take it. Hope he gets decent game time and it's not a mid-4th-quarter entry.

Go Parks!!

Made my week!

 

[KingV23]

He's done **** all so far. Terrible decision

 

[Wheresbuddy]

He's done **** all so far. Terrible decision

Doing nothing is better than what Adams has served up.

 

[KingV23]

This thread going to be a lot different now after Parker's performance so far.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

AND A GOAL!!!

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Few people going to avoid this thread for a while

 

[BloodySwan]

Parker has shut a lot of doubters up

 

[KingV23]

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Top pressure player for the quarter, went forward took a mark and goaled with ease.

It’s like he never went away.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Crowd loving Parker when he was brought on

 

[Punts]

Well

More impact than a few others in a quarter
