Luke Parker
Luke Parker 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.

The irony about all of this is that if his manager and Luke hadn’t pushed for the 4th year, he would have been OOC and would have got there for pick 62.

Kinda funny, his extra year let us spread money and then get a better pick, for a player clearly in decline.

My take on his last contract negotiation is that Parker himself likely also thought his body would be done by the end of next season aswell, now he's gotten to this point, now thinks he's got more to give. The club is ready to move on to younger players and likely has all the data backing them up that his body is in decline.
