Preview Sydney Vs North Melbourne - A Danger Game

[troyjones2525]

The question is.
Is Parker better than Adams?
Cause let's be real.
Taylor will grab Heeneys mid minutes in combination with Mills.

Absolutely he is, and always has been across his entire career!

So our selection panel is unimpeachable? That's the whole point of this discussion.

This year.
So far.
Ok...hey.

 

[Donza]

Unless he's injured, or has forgotten how to play footy in 9 months, he offers more than a few blokes you can watch for free on Ch.7 every week.

Edit: Luke that is!

I take your point about his speed in the VFL games but that's never been an attribute of his and hadn't got in the way of his contributions over the journey.

Joe Biden...

Unless he's injured, or has forgotten how to play footy in 6 months, he offers more than a few blokes you can watch for free on Ch.7 every week.

Parker is a midfielder, who does he replace in the midfield. Ignoring the hubris of his goal kicking feats, as he hasn’t been named a forward in a decade.

He either replaces Rowbottom, Adams or Warner. Best chance is Adams. Ball
is in Parker’s corner to make it happen.

Mills is ahead of him on being the captain.

Figured they would bring back Mills in defence with the occasional rotation through the middle but i guess they are going to put him straight into the middle and hope he can get up to speed quickly.

But how can you know!

I think we've had this exact discussion before. I totally respect your opinion and that you're a huge Parker fan.

But our exposure to Parker in action this year is four VFL games, the latter two of which he didn't even receive coaches votes in.

Horse's exposure to Parker in action this year consists of the entire match-sims over pre-season, match sims throughout the week, training drills throughout the week, every week.

I think you're a great poster on here and I reckon once in a blue moon I get a call or two right myself, but I am backing in Horse's opinion on what shape and form Parker is in this year over either of ours.

 

[Swannie0307]

So your happy as a fan that the club plays a passenger each week?

We are all entitled to our opinions but my point is that what you or I are happy with (as fans) doesn’t matter … and given he still couldn’t get in this week, the selectors are clearly assessing ‘other’ factors to what you are

Yep this. Last time I remember Parker playing as a forward was in like 2016 when he was unable to break into our midfield full time.

 

[Donza]

Mills will be ideal down back impacting those contests that Lloyd has been exposed by

I've just been reading this thread (it's that torture or watch the poms annihilate the Windies at the moment) and one thing really grinds my gears. So many people in here have an extraordinarily low bar when they use the term 'elite'.

I will die on this hill.

The most logical role for Parker to play is the one being performed by Adams. If Adams has an off game or two, Parker straight in.

The irony here is that Adams played half-forward (very well) at Collingwood.

Now we seem to of a view that he can’t play anything but mid.

Perhaps it was part of the recruitment spiel to get him & we feel obliged to honour the sales pitch?

Well yes that was one of the main pitches we used he also hated playing HF

If a player ever dictates where he will & won’t play …. we are in strife.

Last 4 weeks before last week. He played 70% HF

I know what you mean but Adams said it himself he wants to be mostly a midfielder

Lords is a hill

 

[dosser]

Lords is a hill

It's a slippery slope

 

[Olian]

Which is why he’s played off the half forward flank.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

[Olian]

Player says something and the coach says something. I know who wins the argument

 

[Donza]

It's a slippery slope

Well they finally lost a wicket

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Lords is a hill

Been there Donza?

 

[Kbroome]

Well they finally lost a wicket

Make 450 and roll the Windies for 200, Jimmy takes 4 and its all done and over by the end of session 1 on day 3

 

[Prez]

lmao what a joke

Just disrespectful to Parker a joke

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Just disrespectful to Parker a joke

He has taken it really well but we understand he wants to play senior football
