You must have had very high expectations for a guy taken at pick 40 in the 2010 draft.

Sounds to me like someone who finished his career as a one club player.
One of the most cherished achievements that most players reflect on long after their careers are over.
But yes, others couldn’t care less about that.

I like Parker, but he didn't become the player I thought he'd become.

...what?

 

[bloodsbigot]

...what?

I addressed this, but I thought he'd probably reach all time greats status and be a critical finals performer, win Brownlows. Etc.

High expectations for a low pick yes.

Isn't this the Taylor Adams thread? the other guy left

Taylor is a reliable experienced influential inside mid that we need.
A few injuries he is needed.
On the training track, he is needed.
Old head, he is needed.

Glad he is in our team.

See Taylor and his gorgeous goldies around the neighbourhood a fair bit.

Speaking of which, saw JPK down at Bondi on the weekend - my God, he's bigger than when he was playing! Keeping himself in tremendous nick.

I was on the recent Swans cruise and JPK looks as fit as he did in his playing days - man mountain!
Gotta say, he was pretty bloody easy on the eyes of this old girl when sitting near him by the pool, in his boardies playing with his kids.

Well, perfectly understandable given this old heterosexual man went a bit weak at the knees when I saw him at Bondi.
