Tigers choose Matt Parker in mid season draft

[Spluff]

Plays like someone stuck Jacob Townsend in Dangerfield's body.

McGrath will sleep with the lights on tonight worried about team selection tomorrow

Loved that Parker got in low for this bump

 

[Grockadoc]

Is indigenous, ready to go and this week is Dreamtime at the 'G in his home state. Let's do this!

 

[tony__montana]

I vaguely remember him. Lippy campaigner that is an excitement machine. Thought he carried on like a flog, but he’s our flog now.

I like this pick, has mongrel, can take a big grab and has a lot of flair.

* Essendon taking Durham.

 

[Wavvey]

Initial reaction was disappointment, but I've come around to the selection heaps. Has a lot of campaigner to him and has shown that he can play at this level in the past. Will come in hungry and I am sure the club will be able to turn him into the best player he can be. Won't be surprised if he ends up becoming a regular in our lineups.

I hope this bloke smashes Robinson or Mathieson in a final against Brisbane.

Like a solid 4 week suspension bump.

 

[caddyshack]

How quick is he?

Draft Combine 20m Sprint:

2.91 Ben Miller
2.95 Matthew Parker
2.95 Shai Bolton
2.95 Jaidyn Stephenson
2.96 Ben King

MP #1 = Marlion Pickett
MP #2 = Matt Parker

 

[daird]

on the bright side his hamstrings would be way better than freeman's

 

[Coach_Required]

fu** Essendon taking Durham.

Thought the same thing, reeks of Carlton to me

 

[Tony Stark]

Just from the highlights he ticks the boxes for what we are missing up forward but at the same time I worry about him failing the no dickhead policy but I assume without doubt he will be spoken to about what it means to be a Richmond man.

 

[g_TRAIN]

Came here to say I think he will go well with you guys, he has serious x-factor

Most of us were disappointed we let him go and thought he offered quite a bit. I'll watch him closely.

Also for anyone worried about him being a dickhead apparently his attitude was always really good. I wouldn't worry about all the tattoos etc.. He's not a bad bloke.

prob just picked him so they can screw with our VFL side - cynical pricks

I like this pick, has mongrel, can take a big grab and has a lot of flair.

Can't wait to see what Marlion and Matty do coming up against Robbo and Mathieson.

 

[Rayzorwire]

Really like this pick, he has decent skills, great pace, aggression, tackle pressure, difficult match-up in the air.

Ticks a lot of boxes and I'll back the club and players to get the rest right with him.

Best of all, he'll be hungry as a junkyard dog to succeed.

Perfect kind of mid-season selection, have to admit, he'd totally fallen off my radar.

A ready replacement for castagna bring him in now

 

[Rubber Hips]

There are now 9 indigenous players on Richmond's list, a new record
Shane Edwards
Daniel Rioli
Shai Bolton
Maurice Rioli Junior
Marlion Pickett
Rhyan Mansell
DES
Sydney Stack
Matt Parker

Let them all play this weekend...DES as medical sub though

 

[tigs2010]

I’d never even heard of Durham and he was playing games for us and I’ve even been watching those games. Essendon the biggest fail of the night.

 

[THE_GUN]

WAFL website has him as 187cm, was previously listed at Saints at 190cm. This is RCD all over again.

Richmond will list him on our website at 183cm

 

[Grockadoc]

With how hard they hit, gotta nickname Marlion and Matty the Bash'Em Brothers, right?

 

[Funky Chicken]

I'm sure he'll help us with our free kick differential.
