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.

[The King!]

Who will miskick and panic handball while he is out

 

[Callipygian]

Also brutal: we need to remove the (c) from after Parker's name in the thread heading.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

 

[Orange crush]

I’m shocked to hear about this injury …. Always s**t when stuff happens in preseason

 

[caesar88]

Not a massive fan of Parker in the midfield but like him in that 2IC role where he can be something of a receiver, rather than trying to rove. I feel like that's when he was at his best between 2014-2016, bouncing off JPK & Hanners' work. With Adams' inclusion I was hoping that would be Parker's role this year and that it would really help our midfield.

 

[MF]

Damn. The list was shaping up to start this season in just about the best physical condition it's ever been in.

 

[Voice of the G]

Brutal

Injury Update: Parker injured in match simulation

Luke Parker has suffered a broken arm in last week's match simulation, with his return to play date still to be determined.

www.sydneyswans.com.au

Bugger,I presume that would be 6 to 8 weeks out.

I'm mainly concerned about the loss of experience in the middle. He's very much a vocal leader on the ground and that will be missed given Mills is also out.

 

[scaryness]

Needs 17 games to reach 300 this season, that might not happen now either

 

[Tedeski]

Bugger,I presume that would be 6 to 8 weeks out.

On a positive note, at least we have Mills who will step up in his absence.

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

First CBA of the season could now be
Grundy Adams Rowbottom Sheldrick. Exciting times.

 

[J_Moore]

He’ll be right. As Jono Brown said, you don’t run on your arm face

 

[MR0808]

Currently sits on 283 games. Barring injury will make the 300 club this year.

Jinxed it!

 

[Big Blood]

Now who's going to mock the Essendon mids?

 

[GoTheSwannies]

The door has just opened for Sheldrick. He'll make the most of it.

In other news, toastie stocks just hit all time lows

 

[sataris]

I choose to believe this was the work of Konstanty.

Gonna refer to him as 'Tonya' from now on.

 

[Bandicoot]

I'm mainly concerned about the loss of experience in the middle. He's very much a vocal leader on the ground and that will be missed given Mills is also out.

It's a good thing we traded in Adams.

 

[the hypnotoad]

Who will miskick and panic handball while he is out

a few have put their hands up ... but missed

 

[Voice of the G]

On a positive note, at least we have Mills who will step up in his absence.

Would think Parker and Mills will return about the same time,R6 perhaps.

 

[Nuggetz]

Would think Parker and Mills will return about the same time,R6 perhaps.

Mills aiming for mid season.

 

[Dubsforsam1]

Potentially a good injury to get in terms of being fresher at the end of the season

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Hope we kick straight without him. He’s such a great set shot for goal.

 

[SwansProudly]

Congratulations Luke

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Just gotta say. Parker has been a great of the club for a long time, from showing enough as young player to be selected for the 2012 GF to almost single-handedly protecting our young midfield when JPK started to decline. He's put everything on the line for the club and has been very durable over the course of his career while playing one of the most brutal roles on the field.

Hats off to you Parks. Thanks for everything you've done so far. And hopefully you can cap off your career as one of our leaders on the path to glory. And hopefully it'll help atone for the 3 flags you've been unfortunate to miss out on over the past decade.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Can’t wait to hopefully see him line up next week.
