Is Parko past it?

[Rack Watts]

Parko on "League teams" just said that Mundy and Neale are B graders and are only on the same level as Clancee Pearce, and called Barlow a legit A-grader (he's been playing a more defensive role).
Everyone else on the panel, sort of went quiet, followed by all of them correcting him.

Is he 2 years behind everyone?

He had Clancee Pearce as a C grader along with Suban. He had Mundy and Neale as B Graders which was a little strange. I'm not sure he watches many Freo games, but he goes ok for a 72 year old. I still prefer to listen to him over most of the other talking heads around these days.

Mundy is a proven A-Grader and has been for 6 years! Neale might be B++ if he isn't A already.
Was it Danyle Pearce he had at the same level?

Mundy is definitely an A grader, but Neale is still a B grader at this stage (well on his way to the elite though).

Don't watch League Teams a lot, but Parko isn't too bad for one show a week.

 

[Rack Watts]

I don't remember him being particularly bad either, maybe he was just off his game tonight?

Parkin and Shaw are 2 of the most out of touch commentators on tv today - the chance that one or both will be on League Teams stops me watching it.

The question of whether Parko is past it would've been more relevant 3 years ago when Fox Footy 2.0 was launched and he appeared on the first episode of League Teams.

He was one of the first to see that Fremantle were building something special under Lyon.
