Player Watch Wil Parker

[Granit1962]

Very impressive, "not played a game for 5 years" and while doesn't star, looked okay - which I expect is way ahead of expectations. How much improvement can be expected from continuity (after a 5 year gap) and a full preseason?

Best 22 in 2025

 

[pablo disco bar]

What number for 2025 ?

I'm gonna predict 9

 

[Copeland]

If Condon comes to the pies and is able to play as well and as early as Parker has this year we’ll all be salivating.

And it will go a long way towards making up for our recent mistakes throwing away early draft picks needlessly.

But can we have both please!

 

[BEEG]

Pretty confident he becomes a serious player.

Half back next year.

 

[magpies42]

If he can improve his pace over the preseason, yes.

He was on Charlie Cameron for a little bit and Charlie got 2 metres on him in just over a second

Speed is a definite concern, if he’s slow in the head.

Don’t think professional players can improve their speed that much…he’s not carrying any extra weight. Wouldn’t mind him on a wing to replace Steele if he can develop endurance. Does also give me Tom Phillips nightmares though being exposed for pace in open space.

The club reckons he does have pace. Maybe he has just held back to not empty the tank as he hasn't fully developed that yet

Said in the video his focus coming into his first every pre-season is to get fitter, stronger, quicker.

It’s a refreshing change from someone who’s focus was get high and have fun.

My kind of player

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Looking forward to what this guy could achieve with a pre season.
Last game was promising.
Lacks pace a little, but has skills and confidence.
Liking his progress

What he was able to do from where he came from was pretty amazing. Will only be better next year

I'd say he exceeded everyone's expectations on what he would do in 2024. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what he can do with a pre-season.

 

[Vicky Park]

I really like Wil - but what is his best position? I wasn’t sure by seasons end.

HB/Wing. I reckon with another pre season he could play wing and play it well

Hoping for a Tarkyn Lockyer type contribution, very underrated

 

[Horaceg]

Not pencilling him in just yet for first access to his off spring but he has shown enough to think he is a chance, pleasantly surprised and looking forward to see how he develops after his first preseason.

I think he's shown enough to suggest he's going to go up a couple of levels. I really like him

Really like him

He’s calm steady and straight ahead
Wing I think might be is go
Build the tank

 

[Pendles!]

I’m pretty bullish on Wil. I don’t see pace to be an issue at all, honestly not sure where that comes from, especially after watching him on Charlie Cameron

Foot skills are also good, and he’s hard as nails. Keen to see him after a full pre season.

Will is from a very good bloodline.
He’s going to be a player.
