Player Watch #26: Luke Parker

Love him

 

[muttley45]

Duursma = Xavier's brother, lmao

 

[Ashley B]

To be honest never thought he would be playing elsewhere let alone us. Seems very professional and team focused. See a correlation with when we got Shaun Higgins albeit he is later into his career . Should be a real positive for us regardless of his age.

 

[Event Horizon]

I see all three (Parker, Daniel, Darling) as potential difference makers in their part of the field. If they can stay on the park, just from them three alone we should get 3-4 extra wins at least IMO.

 

[DuckYeah]

Hahaha what a cunny funt. Good on the banter, good for morale.

 

[Roo316]

Easily the most talking, that I have heard, on one of these “micd up” videos, very positive.

I think end of this year we bring in more of this type. Good leaders towards the end of their careers. Would love to get a big key position player with a bit of experience.

 

[amaz199]

Almost forgot about him lol.

I have been giving it to a workmate who barracks for the Swans. Reminded him a certain Parker would've been handy in the absence of Gulden and Mills last week.

Potentially. But I think our preference would be more that 22-26 year old bracket.

Pretty bold there mate. We don't know if he's cooked on-field or not yet. The mind obviously isn't, which will be helpful in itself, but the body is its own sp*stic entity. Can't say he impressed in his limited pre-season showings

 

[Themanbun]

Have we ever traded in a bloke that just feels like he should have always been at North as much as him?

Faster than he's ever been which is a good sign.

Higgins would be on the podium too I reckon; my doggie mates despised him for some reason

The mighty Marstermind doing what he does best; bringing history alive

Higgins would be on the podium too I reckon; my doggie mates despised him for some reason

Except then Higgo bailed and went to Geelong. Leaving in itself is a minus, but huge deduction of kudos for going to Geelong. Very poor decision

Have we ever traded in a bloke that just feels like he should have always been at North as much as him?

Colbert
Spider Burton
Waite
Higgins

All well into their careers but felt like "North people" immediatley and not just passing through, but yeah Parker feels like he could be added

Hardly. It was a mutual thing, he was cooked when he left us. Cash for him.
