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.

Didn't take him long.

It certainly didn't

Better than Luke Ablett? Indeed he is.

 

[vonn]

Good Lukeing <3 I'm so keen to get a 26 premiership guernsey and 21 on my away or 2013 premiership jumper. It doesn't feel right not getting 21 this year but what can I do

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

I don't think there's a more justified thread on Big Footy.

 

[bobbobbert]

He loooks to be in the Kirky, Jude, Jack mould. Would back him over that cat Jetta any old day!

why is jetta a cat?
you don't think to win a premiership a team needs a couple of 'outside players'?
almost 50 goals.
you think we would of got to or won the final without him?
i think we could of done it without parker though i like him and hope he turns into a good player for us. he is not there yet.

Ease up, was posted last year in august.

sorry, missed that. its just one of my pet hates (people criticising outside players for not being hard enough).

 

[TRAWP]

Must not be only us hyping him up, noticed his player issued Guernsey this year sold for $1,150. The most of ANY players.

vonn you requested it unwashed didn't you....

 

[vonn]

It was a bargain!

 

[Gongswan]

Nice bump, but how many were not on the Luke bandwagon from the get go, see my sig for the next wagon

 

[Blood Bath]

how can you find mcglynn attractive he looks like an oompa loompa:

Love McBabe.

Parker = potentially Joel selwood

 

[Ed_Gein]

Parker = potentially Joel selwood

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Pull the brakes son. I reckon Parker will be a beauty, but to compare him to Joel Selwood? Come on man! That's taking it too far i reckon. Parker will never be a ducker. Quack.

Joel ain't no ducker, Scott and Adam are but not Joel. If Parker becomes half the player that Joel is il be wrapped

 

[Riders of Rohan]

Are you kidding me, 3 sensational ducks by Joel completely turned the tide in the Freo/Geel final. I didn't even care who won and I was furious at both him for doing it and the umps for getting fooled.

 

[Kummerspeck]

I think its about time some of you haters started appreciating Parkz. Stop hating.

 

[MF]

A breakout season was always on the cards but he's been awesome so far.

[RW]

You know this thread is just Vonn bait...

On a serious note he was brilliant today.

 

[vonn]

As I mentioned in page 1, he has a great torso, which has a proven correlation with fantastic football skills.

Also - he has taken the 'Good Lukeing' nickname in good spirit. Big tick!

He has been better than awesome, straight out of the Kelly/Kirk/Bolton mould which we all love.

 

[Mick Oxlong]

10 year contract...make it happen!

 

[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

I'd Like to put my hand up and say I was one of the first on the bandwagon. He's gonna be a gun and will be a premiership player with the swans.

Still riding the wagon. Understandably, after that game, it's gotten a little crowded.

 

[Dan87]

Yep, hope to see Luke in a Swans jumper for a long time. And an All-Australian year awaits!

Could be this year! He's not pulling it out of his ass, his finals series last year was sensational. At the moment I would rather any mid go out than him
