With a 4-6 week recovery period

Still can't believe there is chance Parker could get back this year

Surely he would just be a green vest candidate if we are still in the finals? Couldn't bring him into the best 21 of a prelim or GF straight off the injury he had?

Definitely sub if anything but also depends how he goes cause he'd have better chance getting into prelim then gf.

I wish I could get paid for portraying wild guesses about shit as factual insider knowledge.

You mean posting on Big Footy?

Doc Larkins seemingly does a lot of diagnosis based on photographs. I'll wait for further confirmation.

That's right. He would rarely have inside info on what was really happening. He'd be making an assessment and diagnosis from footage, what other commentators are saying and what is the norm for the degree of injury.

Agreed. Would make the perfect sub for those games

Newman confirmed injured

The NEAFL Swans’ will have to be without Nic Newman for Saturday’s semi-final against Aspley after the defender hurt his elbow in last weekend’s Round 22 win over the Hornets.

Parker could be a chance for a Semi or ideally a prelim (if we win week 1) going off that article. Doubt it will be more than a sub though which is a shame.

 

[grimlock]

You're looking into the wrong glass if you think Parker coming back for the finals is a shame.

More that I would rather him not coming back after an injury. Would rather the injury didn't happen. Hate seeing anyone injured, especially Parker. Just can't see him playing full games, which poses a question whether we 'risk' him as if we have to activate a sub early, we are hamstrung a bit.

 

[Millky95]

Yeah I doubt Parker will be back this year and if he is, no more than the sub or marking small forward. But sub or R1 2016

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

With that kind of injury, he's not coming back as sub. Either he's right or he's not.

He lightly trained today and will start RUNNING on Friday. That should stop some bullshit posts

Hopefully it's just a precaution and more of a "pre-final's rest"

He's had bandaging on it for quite a few weeks now, he's definitely been playing under duress lately. Probably a good move to let him rest for a week.

Dean Towers gets another chance to show his dribbling skills.
