Player Watch Wil Parker

[ElliottsMaggies]

I read that our under 25s are crap.

Now we have those same people saying 'play the kids' next week.

 

[HFF]

We have found a player here.

He looked a player when he came on as sub against Freo and today he has proven he is not fazed at the level.

He should keep his spot in the side at half back.

He just has to be better than Markov to hold his spot. He seams to be improving each time he plays.

 

[CheckerTrade666]

He looks like a good player. Didn’t get much of it, but was very clean when he got it. Give him a full Pre Season and he should be pushing for a permanent spot next year.

 

[Soups]

Will be good

 

[BuildEmUp]

He does look very composed - and for a guy with so little footbal under his belt has plenty of upside.

 

[Harry O]

Quite impressed by Will. Excellent tackler. The one minor query is given his size he will need to play on the quick small forwards, and does he have the pace to do so ?
But you are excited by the upside once he actually gets a pre season in him. Maybe he could eventually play the role Josh Daicos

did yesterday or even a wing role

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Don't mind the look of him so far

Hopefully he can get some consistent games under his belt

 

[Run n Spread]

Looked OK but desperately needs another preseason. Didn't look like an afl.player. (As in he looked like a cricketer. An athlete who.hasnt trained specifically for footy).
Did some nice things thou so could be one for the future.

 

[Copeland]

Agree. Should get a full game next week.

He got a full game. Sullivan was the sub.

 

[FIGJAM]

He has the calmness and decision making required for modern frenetic pressure footy.

Zero pre-season, out of the game for ages and learning systems. Doing a commendable job with all that in mind.

Yeah, can't ask too much more of him tbh. Came into the system in feb, no pre-season. No preseason games, some conditioning and training, straight into vfl, then debut two games, injured for 4 weeks, vfl for one game and then a full game at afl level

Anything he did this year was gonna be a bonus. Don't think anyone had him pegged to play senior games this quick anyway. He's gonna be a player.

 

[Daicosian silk]

Definitely going to be a player. Big Roo Smit also looks a good long term player. And we’re going to need some success stories with our category B, SSP and MSD and father-son recruits given our lack of draft picks

 

[peter9789]

He did some nice things yesterday. Looks composed, and as others have commented probably way exceeded expectations given he has not had a pre-season. Not sure what his role is just yet though, maybe if he has a tank replaces Sidey on the wing.

A good signing by the club given he was a free hit.

 

[cfc19902010]

I like his straight ahead style ..

 

[manicpie]

I like his composure when going straight ahead style

Hopefully he becomes a top shelf endurance runner as wing or defensive half play maker looks his role, as he looks a bit slow to play as a genuine defender.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Did some really good things during the game. Clean hands and good disposal. Kid will be a player. Hopefully he keeps his spot for this week.

He did not have a Pre-Season this year

 

[Masked Magician]

This kid can play.

 

[loki04]

This kid can play.

Thought he looked out of his league.

 

[jc37]

Thought he looked out of his league.

I thought he was as you would expect. Did some nice things by foot. Will be a player once he hits 20 games.

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Not up to it.

Killed us with his turnovers.

 

[Spuddd]

This kid can play.

Good cricketer

 

[Anzacday]

Not up to it.

Killed us with his turnovers.

My query on him his lack of pace.
Skill set seems good though.
