4 straight games in the VFL didn't he?
Again, if he's as valuable as Sydney think he is, why not extend another year?

Solid deal for North in the end. I think pick 44 was fair, so to get Konstanty thrown in is a sold return.
Konstanty getting thrown in is probably inconsequential from the Swans perspective, with Cleary, Wicks and maybe Hanily all ahead of him, given none of them were best 22 by the end of the year. Fair chance he would have been delisted next year unless something changed dramatically. Seems North had been sniffing there for a while, so it makes sense.

So he is a small forward - was he ok in the VFL?

He had some standout games, but doesn't get much of the football so if he's not hitting the scoreboard, he can lack influence.
I'm guessing you guys were keen on him for his tackling numbers:

Probably the deal that most reasonable people would have done day 1, but wotevs.
Will miss Lukey, great clubman.

I agree. Our f50 pressure has been diabolical. Throw Darling (who can still tackle), Parker, and maybe Konts into the equation, and that goes a decent way to ameliorating one of our worst weaknesses.He had some standout games, but doesn't get much of the football so if he's not hitting the scoreboard, he can lack influence.

Question I'm wondering is whether Parker gets to be C or VC straight off the bat. I wouldn't be against it.

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
Excellent trade for North IMHO. Very little risk regardless.

Agreed. Even if Konstanty is a 50/50 odds of becoming a serviceable player, he is better suited as a top 3 small forward on Norths list than sitting at 5th or 6th best at the Swans

This trade saved us from the trade period
Reckon there’s a chance Parker could come in and be co captain
And konstanty would already be ahead of Payne and Hansen Jnr on our list as a small

At worst he will install training expectations into the whole side.
