Parker.Who else is there to play small forward pretty sure Hanily didn’t play in the VFL so he’s not an option
Has been quality since pretty much day one. I remember him getting about 30 touches and the full 10 coaches votes in his very first reserves game in a Swans jumper, and he was the youngest Swan since Parker nearly a decade earlier to be playing midfield for us in his first year at the club. By his second year he was leading by example through our toughest season in decades at just 19 years old.Hard to fathom that Rowbottom was a whipping boy once upon a time but because of how bad we looked in the midfield without him we are like, "Please help us Rowy!!"
Parker.
He played. 2.2, 7 tackles, 16 touches.
I don't class Parker as a small forward. He's a mid who can cause some trouble when he goes up forward in patches. Mostly due to marking ability and at stoppages, not at zipping around causing mayhem.Small forward? Be the largest small forward in history
Would comfortably offer more than Wicks regardless of nominal position.Small forward? Be the largest small forward in history
To be fair, he is probably the best sub going around in the competition. I’d get nervous seeing him come on late in the third, as an opposition coach.
Would comfortably offer more than Wicks regardless of nominal position.
Wicks seems to go in fits and starts. Hopefully he's due a cracker.Is only 2cm taller than Wicks.
Wicks needs to kick some goals surely?
Granted, it’s tough.People get very angry without naming who should be dropped
Let me guess Wicks, amartey? maybe Adams as some hate him!
Which senior key player did people want dropped? Mills, Heeney, Gulden, Parker, Warner? Mccartin Blakey?
Wicks seems to go in fits and starts. Hopefully he's due a cracker.
Agree that Parker is slower, and tailed a bit after the North game, but still think he'd simply do a bit more of everything and offer a marking target up forward.
Granted, it’s tough.
But Parker has been on the fringe & was less than impactful last week when introduced.
Wicks hasn’t really justified a spot for quite some time now.
Corey isn’t yet a proven AFL standard.
I feel Campbell has been part of our success all season & I can’t quite figure out how he’s suddenly fallen behind the aforementioned three.
Is that a problem or an advantage?Small forward? Be the largest small forward in history
Wow.. Ive not responded to many of your hypocritical posts regarding Rowbottom (and other topics).. but, I cant bite my tongue any longer.Has been quality since pretty much day one.

Safe to say there's been some... rigorous... debate over the journey as to his role in the team, but I'd question anyone's acumen if they didn't realise what a seriously good player he's always been.
The aforementioned three being Wicks, Warner Jr. and Parker.I feel Campbell has been part of our success all season & I can’t quite figure out how he’s suddenly fallen behind the aforementioned three.
Nowhere did I say it was because he wasn't a good player.Wow.. Ive not responded to many of your hypocritical posts regarding Rowbottom (and other topics).. but, I cant bite my tongue any longer.
You wrote 10 or more posts, in the 6 months post Hewett being traded, suggesting the Swans should trade Rowbottom. Now you are questioning... "anyone's acumen if they didn't realise what a seriously good player he's always been."
You've misrepresented the posts a bunch of times, not sure your tongue is in danger.Wow.. Ive not responded to many of your hypocritical posts regarding Rowbottom (and other topics).. but, I cant bite my tongue any longer.
I’m surprised, but not surprised - Campbell always tends to be on the chopping block when we’re not going too well as a team.The aforementioned three being Wicks, Warner Jr. and Parker.
Wicks has been just as much a part of our success all season as Campbell, no? Wicks has played 15 out of 19 games this year. Campbell has played 17 out of 19 games, but been sub in four of them.
Warner Jr. played six straight VFL games just to get his spot, and even then it was as sub, and even then he was more impactful as sub than Campbell was.
And Parker... well, he's a pretty good player who didn't even get a look in until round 18(!)
So I'm personally not surprised at all that he's behind those three at present.
But exactly what you're saying about Wicks could be said about Campbell, too. I do share your desire to see Campbell succeed but him being a high draft pick doesn't make him any different to Wicks to me. I want every Swan to succeed.I’m surprised, but not surprised - Campbell always tends to be on the chopping block when we’re not going too well as a team.
I’m perhaps a bit harsh on Wicks - but 10 goals in 15 games & not a lot of crumbing or keeping the ball locked inside 50 ….. I’m just not sure what his actual strengths are at present.
With both Parker & Mills back … and underdone … it feels a bit like we’ve gone from young fast & dynamic back to strong but stodgy. Again, maybe too harsh & likely a reaction to last week.
Corey is still on an upward trajectory & perhaps does fit better with McI out. So in hindsight, not surprised Campbell has fallen behind him.
Part of it is also probably because he’s such a high draft pick & an academy player, I just reeeeealy want Campbell to succeed.
maybe not, but you repeatedly said he should be traded. Im not a list manager, but I wouldn't think its a good idea to trade good players?,, especially when the role he was being developed for was the role Hewett used to play.Nowhere did I say it was because he wasn't a good player.
Part of what annoys me about Campbell is that we've refused to play him in the position he was drafted as. I think he got maybe 2 dedicated games at half forward in late 2021.I’m surprised, but not surprised - Campbell always tends to be on the chopping block when we’re not going too well as a team.
