since 2019. While Parker is among the league’s elite midfielders, his strong marking and expert game awareness make him a genuine threat when rotating through the forward line.

Tim Watson rated Parker as the first pick if you redo his draft year, that’s a big call, but there is a definite case

2010 AFL draft - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

The media might not rate Parker as highly but it's always interesting how highly rated he is by fellow footballers or past footballers.
I just think he is the type of bloke they want to have run out along side them because they know what they are going to get from him.
Absolute gun in my eyes & always has been.

The media just ranked him one from his draft.....

Probably should differentiate non player media v ex player media. Both Watson and Lyon ranked him 1, non explayers cal twosomes was one, didn’t.

True

I think he has had some ordinary finals games but no way he isn’t right up there in that draft imo

 

[scaryness]

Should be 3x Bobby winner. 2018 was his if he doesn't rest round 23.

Should have got it anyway imo or buddy

He's been robbed a couple All Australians as far as I'm concerned too. 2014 I was pretty surprised he didn't make the team, was a big part for our teams success

Injured mate, not rested

 

[Kirkswan]

A wonderful effort and a Fantastic Achievement...

[Millky95]

I was going to get his number on my Guernsey in 2014. Then my sister told me about how he tried to buy her a drink at a bar.

I got Kieren Jack's instead.

Happy 200th

Kieren bought you the beer instead?

 

[The King!]

that went quick

good player , and a strong achievement

 

[caesar88]

Love any Swan willing to jump in front of a moving semi trailer for our club.

Parker epitomises that.

As tough as Selwood and Hodge, but without the ducking or thin blood

 

[Tedeski]

Tough as nails & wanted by every other club in the AFL.

Grown into a wonderful leader.
Along with JPK, needs some help.

[Kennedy Parker]

Remember a couple years ago when there were trade rumours swirling around that he was leaving?

This was his response.

 

[Prez]

A fantastic player for the club, never shirks an issue. Leads by example, lets hope the team follows him into battle today. Just read his stats story on club web site. Sums it up completely, one of the best in the league.

A statistical midfield bull

What are the primary statistics that best measure the output of Swans co-captain and round 5 milestone man Luke Parker?

www.sydneyswans.com.au

"Parker is ranked #2 in games over the past six years and four rounds, #3 in tackles, #4 in goals, #5 in contested possessions, #6 in Brownlow votes, #7 in clearances and #9 in contested possessions. He has averaged 25.4 possessions (12.9 contested possessions), 0.85 goals, 5.6 tackles, 5.7 clearances per game. And 0.63 Brownlow votes.
It is an outstanding record for any player in a competition in which the depth of quality midfielders is endless, but it is downright extraordinary for a player drafted at #40 in the 2010 AFL National Draft as Parker was."

Happy to have him as a Swan, any day!

Get him out of the midfield though lol

 

[Nool Carpenna]

to Luke!
Well said Kirkswan

 

[Kapers]

Does the captains goals better than anyone imo. Always trust him in those game changing moments.

 

[RW]

Will be captain until Mills is ready to take over

 

[Olian]

Parker with the most smothers in 2020.
Underrated stat for those into stats.
