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.

North F4 for Parker. Done deal.

Try third then we will talk. He's contracted.

 

[Kbroome]

Parker for #44 and F4 should be what we do it for

Make it a F3 please. It's bad enough taking 44 this year

 

[Kbroome]

No thats more than we paid for Brodie Grundy, who was 3 years younger when he was traded

I'd honestly keep him if all we are getting are 4th rounders, having him play 300 for us is worth more than that.

 

[Roadrunner]

As I said before, split pick 44 to Richmond for pick 61 and 51. Give pick 61 and pick 62 to Swan. A fair trade. Now you have 2 picks instead of 1.

 

[caesar88]

Am I correct in thinking we will find out just how much this trade request was driven by us dumping Parker's salary, if at all?

E.g. if a club is pushing a player out as a salary dump, they are unlikely to be fussy over the terms of the trade, lest they risk the trade falling through?

Probably if it is only #44/F3 compared to like a #44 and F4 will be the slight difference you would be able to tell. But at the same time given how long and drawn out the trade period is its hard to tell if its just them haggling or other deals holding it up etc. TOO MUCH DEAD TIME imo

We won’t use either waste of time. Zilch point he’s contracted offer something fair

What does F3 and F4 mean?

But yeah agreed, the trade period is a snooze but I also kinda think the AFL sabotaged their own product when they started making sure clubs left a lot of deals til deadline day for clicks and ratings.

Future third rounder and future fourth rounder

 

[Callipygian]

The reason the Parker deal will get done and we won't hold him to his contract is, more than anything, because we want to do the right thing by Parker. He has been a great servant for a long time, he has been offered a deal 2 years longer than what we would give, and it suits us to let him go when we can't even promise him senior game time next year (let alone beyond that). The biggest loser if the deal isn't done is Parker. Of course, NMFC know that and are using it to their benefit. Fair enough. That's how it goes. Still think pick 44 is closer to the mark than a pick in the 60s.

 

[KingV23]

The deal will get done. That's how negotiation works. NM will try and get it done for reasonably as little as possible; we will try to get the most we can. And then the two sides will meet in the middle.

 

[Wazowski]

Are we sure we arent going to pay any of his salary?

 

[Millky95]

May as well pay all his salary and keep him if that's the case

 

[ashep]

It'll get done fairly amicably. I wouldn't even consider what's been going on this far as "posturing", rather just the way these negotiations go.

I'd be pretty confident that the Swans and Roos are pretty closely aligned on what will make the deal happen but wouldn't be surprised to see it meander along into next week.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I’d hate deal but maybe it is the 60 whatever but swaps in next years draft (helping with our bids)

 

[Dubai Quacker]

The fact we’re even talking (or, in trade week-speak “in constant dialogue”) about picks in the 60’s shows how dull this trade period is.

 

[BloodySwan]

Both clubs just posturing.

 

[Roadrunner]

Keep him. He is not a prime Luke Parker but a 30 something years old. Not worth a 3rd round pick.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Keep him. He is not a prime Luke Parker but a 30 something years old. Not worth a 3rd round pick.

Perhaps there's a player worth pick 60 that you should be pursuing instead of Parker?

Plenty of younger talent out there if you're worried about his age.

 

[Millky95]

Keep him. He is not a prime Luke Parker but a 30 something years old. Not worth a 3rd round pick.

Happily but can we get rid of you and your idiotic posts?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Least we tried getting a second that’s all I ask

 

[Roadrunner]

Happily but can we get rid of you and your idiotic posts?

Gladly, once the Parker saga is over.

 

[RilesMacca]

24 is overs for him given his age. We'd have to float over our future picks on top for their 2nd rounder, won't do that though given our academy prospects next year.

Meeting in the middle at 44 seems like a fair deal.
