    Preview Round 7: Bloods vs Hawthorn 4pm Sunday @ the MCG

    We will see in the next few weeks whether parker is parked in front of goal or plays in the middle. Two things he does best. I doubt he does a lot of running between D50 and F50 as you suggest.

    Mobility is the BIG question mark on Parker v Hayward. Can he shutdown and apply the pressure? Can he get out the back and take those offensive marks? In close he is ace. In open field he is a dinky. He marks as well as Hayward. He does not spread, apply pressure over distance like Hayward...
