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.

My Bob Skilton tip

 

[Tedeski]

My Bob Skilton tip

I wonder if Bobby Skilton would want to trade him.

 

[ashep]

Interesting. For all the talk about Parker disappearing under the pump and not being fit to lick JPK's boots, in the games Josh missed, Parker went over 110 fantasy points each time.

Hanners, Lloyd, Hewett and Heeney by contrast were down on their season averages in those games.

Hmmm....

Yes, yes indeed. Parker is terrible.
Just like our coach will never lead us to a flag, except for that time he did, but that was soooooo long ago it doesn't really count, it also doesn't count that we dug ourselves out of a zero & six hole, the only thing that counts is anytime things don't go as planned, those times, right there are indisputable fact that he is no good as a coach.

Because I'm not going to stand for this...this...this making finals every year, what an absolute joke. Fancy making finals every year, I mean, what's the point?


<jokes>

My Bob Skilton tip

Yeah he might well win, but youd vote from him in games he didnt play, think you like him more than vonn

 

[scaryness]

I'm leaning towards Buddy winning it now but will stick with the Parker tip.

 

[The King!]

Wouldnt shock me

 

[Superstar swan]

Probably gonna finish with 5 or so best and fairests

 

[scaryness]

I'm glad he won the B&F, I thought he was our best player for the majority of the year.

He is the true barometer for our club in my opinion.

I know why, but I don't know why he is such a whipping boy when he is one of the top inside mids in the league and his play every year since 2013 has shown that.

 

[Olian]

Best in the home and away season. If he wins best finals player then we win the flag.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

So important. When he's failed we've failed.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Gun

 

[SlingshotFooty]

He is the greatest!

 

[GotTheGoodes]

He is the greatest!

Uhhhhhh.....

 

[SlingshotFooty]

Uhhhhhh.....

EVER!

 

[Cadsky]

Let's trade him! No good. Can't contest. Can't kick. Too slow. But we'll get heaps for him!

Congrats Parks. I've stood by you and will continue to do so. Only 24! You are a gun!

 

[RW]

swansfan51 title needed here, something about precision i imagine or hitting a target

I like "2017 Bob Skilton medallist" personally

 

[The King!]

Hopefully he kicks on now and can become a top 20 player in the league

who are the top 5 inside mids in the game out of interest

 

[Tedeski]

Only 24 years old, a club vice captain, 2 club best & fairests, All Australian in 2016 & Premiership player.
A future captain if he stays healthy & if he continues his growth as a leader & manages to win a few more B & Fs, he will go down as one of our all time greats.

All this for pick 40.
Couldn't care less if he doesn't become a top 20 player. As long as he is one of our best.

 

[Tuco]

He had a cracking last 2/3rds of the season.

Congratulations.

He was excellent when acting captain

Even if I apparently hate him teddy

 

[Tedeski]

I forgot to mention this.

No Martin?
