has plenty of football ahead and has already compiled a resume packed with impressive achievements. Since landing at the Sydney Swans via the 2010 AFL Draft, he has won a 2012 premiership medal, earned All Australian selection and won two Bob Skilton medals. In 2015, he was added to the club’s leadership group at the age of just 22, and has led the team as a co-captain alongside Josh Kennedy and Dane Rampe

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.

Parker 19
Mills 17 new mid in 21
Rowbottom 17 young mid
Kennedy 15
Florent 6 agreed would like to see him inside more

What other kids did you want in there?

It's not about personnel but how they set up. It's exactly the same as previous years that didn't work.

Warner would be good to see him go to a centre bounce or two

Was injured and they moved him to the wing. And now more injured

Tackles too hard haha

Duty of care for the opposition.

Not sure Florent is needed at the circle. Dont really consider him a ball winner. The way they use him as the outlet from someone else winning the ball is sound. I have comped him before as a lesser (as of now) Hanners and Hanners started on a wing at bounces as well .

 

[Ticky009]

On the Exchange podcast, Swans & Parker still working on contract still not signed - length of contract a sticking point apparently.

Get it done, Swans. I could not bear it if we lost him.

Absolutely no chance he is leaving.

There's always a chance.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Assuming he wants 3-4 and swans want to offer 2. There would probably be clubs offering 4, possibly even 5 if desperate to prise him out?

Swans will get the deal done. I'm guessing 3 years

 

[Millky95]

3 with a 4th trigger would suit me just fine. He is what, 29 this year?

 

[BloodySwan]

I imagine we're offering him 3 years and he wants more. Give him triggers in his contract, his body never seems to break down. I can easily see him going into his mid 30s

 

[CheapCharlie]

Parker had a pretty decent game.. Both Parker and Kennedy. Hopefully he stays another coupe of years, certainly having his and Kennedy's experience in the middle is important for next year

Parker is only 28. Got 4+ years in him easy, especially given how effective he is forward.

It isnt his age im thinking of, its whether he signs again for us or is tempted by a longer offer elsewhere

 

[Kiama Chris]

As long as our offer is fair, he'll sign. Reckon 3 years + a trigger will get it done. No idea of the $.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Oh never realised Parker is OOC this season hmm

 

[RampeRobe]

Not getting talked about enough IMO, would be close to his best year I reckon, very underrated, will poll well in Brownlow again

A chunk of the vocal posters on the board have been trumpeting for years that he's overrated or not that good.

Factoring in consistency and reliability he has been our best mid for 5 years now, and was robbed of 2 B&Fs imo.

The ones Lloyd won?

 

[scaryness]

The ones Lloyd won?

Yeah both. 2018 especially, 2020 was probably a little closer but still his imo.

 

[Jewelsbon]

Yeah both. 2018 especially, 2020 was probably a little closer but still his imo.

Agree on 2018, thought Lloydy was the better last year though.

 

[caesar88]

Lloyd is a gun who deserves both his best and fairest awards. And I reckon he's got at least one left in him yet.

Sorry Caesar but I don't believe you can judge Parker fairly because of your devotion to Hewitt.

 

[caesar88]

Sorry Caesar but I don't believe you can judge Parker fairly because of your devotion to Hewitt.

I wasn't judging Parker, I was defending Lloyd.
