Player Watch Wil Parker

[Piesinmyeyes]

Need to extend this kids contract.
Like the cut of his jib.
Smart, skilful and tough.
Will have many suitors soon.

he hit a trigger, so he is contracted for 2026

Oh good.
Might be renegotiating soon on an extension beyond hopefully

Parker is OOC at the end of 2026. I like his skills, his toughness and his footy IQ. These traits should help secure his next contract. I had to go a long way to find this thread. I really liked his comments about how good Steele’s training tests were and aspiring to be better than him. The area of weakness seems to be his pace. I am hoping for a huge preseason and for Parker to step up.

Has obvious talent, and I expect him to become a very good player. Hope he gets a go this year and cements a place in the side.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

He’ll get a good contract . He’s one we need to keep

This is the very clear and obvious truth. Should be regular best 23 in 2026.

I know he re-signed for a year but I agree we should tie him up for longer. I would have played him in the prelim instead of Howe. He did well against the Crows and Howe struggled against the Lions.

I think it was a correction or a trigger rather than a re-sign. Our list looks pretty stable. Parker, Frampton, Smit, Allan and Chrisp seem the important ones. And veteran resolutions.

Not sure how important Crisp is tbh. He’ll probably resign anyway but he’s on the other side of the hill these days.

He is important, and I hope he doesn’t resign.

Shades of when we were all devo as it was announced that Bucks at the peak of his powers on the field had resigned.

He was down in 2025 but not out. I want to watch him perform in 2026.

Was it Steve Quartermaine?

Crisp’s value largely depends on his pay grade imo.

If he plays on at a low-senior squad/depth salary, he will be invaluable. If his demands or the market don’t allow us to give him a pay cut, he might not be great value.

We’d have to balls it up pretty badly to get burned by re-signing him, though.

At the point of major veteran transition the almost oldies can have increased value, if performing.
