He is a 3rd tall, nothing more. At Glenelg, guys like Allen, Merrrett, Proud and Curran were being played as KPDs, while Parks was the 3rd tall

I don't disagree about his size, I'm just describing how he plays. AFL match-ups will dictate how effective that is if he stands 2 inches shorter than May and with proportionately shorter arms.
I suppose Dane Rampe might be another comparison, Rampe doesn't really leap for the footy and has better ground ball skills.
Kid is only 19, could still develop into a key back.
He reminds me of Peter McConville x Richard Dennis

Incredible and bewildering to me to see he yet again ‘needs to build his fitness base’ in Russell’s update. I’m glad I’m blocked from attending training. I couldn’t possibly watch him run even one more solo 200m interval.
I understand your point of view mate but I wasnt having a go at Marchbank it was said in jest.
Pretty sure he doesnt get injured on purpose. It is very unfortunate but I am sure he will come good.

How likely is this Parks bloke? Got a touch of The Dog about his look and cheek. Sign me up!
Ange Christou or Danny Southern
Has an odd kicking action but kicking listed as one of his strengths - although the Swans poster on here said his kicking could improve so mixed messages there.
He can obviously take a grab so if his kicking is sound he may make it. We can no longer afford dodgy disposal coming out the backline.
Brave, good hands in the air, weird double hand drop, what’s not to like?

Curly question......
No wonder nick recruited him
So far we’ve recruited McConville and Austin, sounds like and 80’s resurgence, happy with that, minus the scum and dorks being involved!
Recon there could be some kind of cult hero following here, im on!

Don’t forget Hunter reference. Like the look of the lad though. Seems a likely type.So far we’ve recruited McConville and Austin, sounds like and 80’s resurgence, happy with that, minus the scum and dorks being involved!
I’m not having a go at anyone. Just bewildering that this bloke cannot get right. Like.....ever.
He is 24, a top 10 pick, and hasn’t played 50 games. And now he’s ‘building up’ again. It’s incredible.

Certainly hasn’t fulfilled promise thus far. Fingers crossed this improves.
