(Parker) has placed inside the top three in the last five (B&Fs)

And a leader.

That's a bloke who thoroughly deserves his new contract.

 

[Nuggetz]

How an AFL eligibility rule set Trbojevic on the path to NRL superstardom

“He was a guy at 14 or 15 years of age, that the Swans recognised.”

www.sen.com.au

Tom identified by Swans as a junior talent. He would've been a gun in the AFL, absolutely killing it in the NRL this year. It shows the importance of academies and we don't always get to keep young supporting talent. It's a real battle with other sports especially NRL.

Haven't watched yet , but Parker on 360

Haven't watched yet , but Parker on 360

-Contract took a while but felt it was part of the process. He sought enquiries from other clubs but felt it's just how contract negotiations happen. Then asked discussions to be put on hold so he could focus on football
-"Back home in Sydney", players have all gone their ways for the offseason
-Club is raw about Giants loss. They haven't done a review and hope they can use it as motivation next season
-Building together, something good. Highlighted Gulden, Campbell and McDonald as a part of the future
-Tough season, a few players really struggled being away from their family and almost left until their families joined them

He didn't seek enquiries he was made aware of them a MASSIVE difference.

 

[BloodySwan]

He didn't seek enquiries he was made aware of them a MASSIVE difference.

"So did you ask your manager at any stage to give you a feel of who it was and what it was?"
"aw yeah obviously we had to have those conversations and its hard during the season. At that stage probably just put it more on hold"

At this stage it's spliting hairs. He did enquire what the market was, who initiated who I don't really care but he definitely tested the waters

on SEN. Hope they put it up. At the end he mentioned the death of his dog last week - adding to the pain of losing the EF.

Why some old flames burn brighter after swanning off with another club

At the Swans alone, Tom Mitchell, Toby Nankervis, Shane Biggs and now Aliir Aliir are perfect examples of players enjoying great success after they have moved on.

[Ticky009]

Thanks for the heads up, Uncle.

Sydney Swans midfielder Luke Parker (9/9/21)

His relief to have re-signed with the Swans, why he has been so durable in spite of his bash-and-crash game, how the club and players handled nearly two months away from their partners and families, and more.

This pisses me off
The Crows are quietly confident they won’t have to part with Pick 4 for Dawson, but how hard the Swans go at the trade table remains to be seen.

Pick 4 plus some more jam tarts

There's nothing like a yearly assessment of your Team - only to realise the writers have completely forgotten to update the article based on current news.

Hence the mention of Parker and not a skerrick of a whisper on Dawson.

2012 is 7th? Rubbish. Great game even without bias.

2011 was the best that I have seen, but only for 3 quarters.

2010 GF Draw is the most enthralling Grand Final of my life time watching footy. 2006, 2009 and 2012 are the other stand outs for me. (2005 is a bit too low scoring from a neutral perspective)

 

[hairy biker]

1989 Hawthorn v Geelong is easily the best (neutral) GF I've seen.
