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.

Kid looks the goods. Official bandwagon starts here.


Up yours, Grimlock.

 

[Swans120]

Reminds me of Gary Rohan mixed with Josh Willoughby.

 

[AG]

So a red head who won't make it.

I feel dirty using a smiley.

 

[Swans120]

So a red head who won't make it.

Could anyone's life be any worse than that? An unsuccessful ginger? *shudder*

In fact, he reminds me of Gary Rohan, Josh Willoughby and, for good measure, Paul Chambers.

 

[grimlock]

The kid will be a superstar, given my previous bandwagons of Schmidt (04), Vogels (05), Phillips (06), DOK (07), Veszpremi (08), Johnston* (09) and Rohan* (10)

* Jury still out.

On Rohan the jury is in!

Verdict = SUPERSTAR!

 

[GoTheSwannies]

I don't usually jump on the bandwagon this early, especially having seen so little of him... but this kid looks the goods so far... has that star quality about him

 

[SM]

Yeww! Parker!!

Need some new boys to support for '11, after 2010's Jetta and Hanners, which went alright.

 

[RUNVS]

I know next to nothing about Parker and i haven't even seen a video of him playing yet so as a result of this i am not getting to excited.

 

[Riders of Rohan]

Sounds like fun, I'm in.

 

[swansfan51]

Probably the 2nd best player in the AFL after Luke Shuey. I'm sure everyone already knows that Shuey will win the next 5 Brownlows, but Parker could get in the top 3 a few times

 

[Jizza9]

Will be better than Ablett*








*Luke

 

[Bonz]

Will be better than Ablett*








*Luke

He will be a premiership player?

I will take that

 

[SM]

I know next to nothing about Parker and i haven't even seen a video of him playing yet so as a result of this i am not getting to excited.

Meh, I haven't either, won't stop me getting on board.

This season Luke will move out of Park, and into Drive!*










*(Don't hate me)

 

[indieswan96]

Maybe one of you can have the honour of picking him in the Sydney Swans Fantasy Draft!

[Costanza_]

The next Dal Santo. Except with a penis.

 

[Swansujelly]

He seems to be a carbon copy for Jude physically and game wise and if he gets close I will be well chuffed.

How does he look the goods so far , you haven't seen him !

+ he looks like he's spent some time in the gym

like i said...

"I don't usually jump on the bandwagon this early, especially having seen so little of him... but this kid looks the goods SO FAR"...

he's got good hands, has a defensive game, seems like he's got awareness, finds space in close... and he looks like he's prepared to work to improve... whether that transfers over to AFL level is another question, but I'm prepared to back him at this point... give me a break, I wasn't claiming he's the next Ablett

It's funny Bedford, from my first post on these forums you've been questioning my opinion... what's with the hate??

 

[Bonz]

The next Dal Santo. Except with a penis.

I was more thinking the next Swan except with a Brownlow

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Yep... I'm on the bandwagon. After Grimlock put up the word about his highligths package on the website I did a bit of digging and from what I can see he's certainly got some potential from my point of view. Seemingly a strong mark, good flowing kick, can find space and has some pace. Not only that but he's showing some good awareness too which never hurts in the transition to AFL level.

 

[vonn]

He has a nice torso.
I'm on it.

 

[Hooley McBoob]

The next Dal Santo. Except with a penis.

*sfellow*

I was more thinking the next Swan except with a Brownlow

Ha!

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

How does he look the goods so far , you haven't seen him !

Now try telling me he doesn't look the goods!



































no homo































ahh **** it, a lot of homo!

 

[bedford]

Doesn't mean he can get the footy
