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.

doesn't mean he was good on saturday

Parker is outstanding until it's grand final day

 

[RainMachine]

Not a superstitious man, butttt felt like that scared gesture he did to Shiel was always going to come back to bite him

 

[SwansProudly]

Congratulations to Luke & Kate

 

[The King!]

least he didn't go missing on the big day

 

[Millky95]

Congratulations to Luke & Kate

I'll never forgive my sister

Vale this Maccas ad.

Why? What did (or didn't) she do?

He offered to buy her a drink at a bar before he was drafted

She said no

Hahaha I bet she looks back at that night and has a little chuckle to herself.

She claims he "looks ridiculous in the white suit"

She may have been turned off by his s**t hair at the time.

Hey we all went through the platinum highlights phase! Leave us alone!

 

[Jewelsbon]

Yeah I think my daughter's would say the same - externally anyway.


Internally.......

Parker sneaking up the all time Swans games list.
After yesterday's game he is on 261 games and into 7th position.

Should catch Jude but probably not Goodsey.

View attachment 1633713

he could have a late career more as a forward , then he is a shot to catch Goodes maybe

 

[Punts]

I thought he toughness around the contest go us going

He still is the main contributor in that area imo
Just keeps going

He's been very resilient so 3 years to pass Jude is a big chance. 3 further years to pass Goodsey not impossible but a very big ask for a midfielder.

I think the more he plays forward might help prolong his career, and he does contribute there so not as if it's a dead spot on the field to eke out more games. The amount of games he's missed is scary good, so should easily hit 350 by the end, anything more remains to be seen.

 

[Deccas]

The swans website have a few minutes of him Playing with a microphone. Really good stuff and shows his leadership out there.

Yeah they showed it on on the couch the other night. Definitely worth a look for anyone who hasn't seen it.

I was blown away by how much directing and leading he does during the actual play.

 

[SM]

It makes me wish we had a yearly AFL doco like Drive to Survive or those other shows to get insights into some of these players.

I would not be able to play AND direct others with the knowledge of what needs to be done, who needs to do it, command others, provide drive and enthusiasm and do this when you are continually running into blokes and executing your own play. I was exhausted just watching this all happen.

Definitely. It made me feel as though I probably underappreciate what he does (and possibly what a lot of captains do) on the field.
