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.

Got a feeling in my water that Parker will be in this week. No idea who goes out or where he will play, but I think Longmire will want his hardness in against Carlton.

Not yet it seems!

I know he'll be doing the good team thing supporting all the lads in the first team, but I wonder how he's feeling privately. A tick under 31 and can't get back in the side despite having been a staple in our best 22 for well over 10 years...

He'll feature again this season no doubt, but looks like he's having to wait on injuries and someone playing poorly to get back in rather than being a walk-up start.

Yep it happens to the best of us

 

[ShireSwan]

The next time A Swans player opts to go elsewhere due to a preference, or more money and people are up in arms at their "disloyalty", those people should be directed to this thread to see how much loyalty there is to players from fans.

 

[SuperMal]

Swans are playing the straightest hand they can.

It’s ugly, it’s sad, it's a shame…but at least it’s honest.

 

[Skeparovic]

Parker has been an absolute champion of the Swans, however perhaps the writing was on the wall when he was prompted to step down from the captaincy at end of 2023. He might have been informed that there wasn't a guaranteed spot for him in 2024.

Whilst admiring his toughness for years, I believe the midfield combination is working much better with the current setup. Parker is a club legend and injuries may open up an opportunity at some point. However, Taylor has better disposal skills and improves the team without a doubt as does JJ who shuts out the key rebounded or mid whilst adding more than Clarke did.

This Swans team is phenomenal and a privilege to watch each week and whilst Parker has been a fantastic loyal servant at the club, it's hard to see a role with how dominant the team is playing without him in 2023.

Apparently might be looking at a report from the VFL game

What the F?? was that dont tell me he had a brainfade and did something ridiculously stupid.

Fox being cryptic as hell about it

Sounds bad, but yeah if no report as yet might be a nothing story

I only caught what was Lyon mentioning handcuffs??

 

[Maddo11]

I only caught what was Lyon mentioning handcuffs??

Scottie Scheffler arrested for assaulting a cop

That's for a golf player

 

[The King!]

Isn't it only rumoured he was involved currently

 

[Adnico26Parker]

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Wow Luke is not a dirty player i hope it was a accident and nothing intentional.

 

[tombomb]

looks like a couple of weeks at least.

Happens off screen but would have been visible if the guy could hold their phone landscape for once.

 

[Bonz]

Off the ball, thats 2-3

Didn't mean to get him high, but you cannot do that these days

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Its to Blurry did the back of his shoulder hit him in the head? if you pause 7 seconds in shows Parker going low to hit the stomach/chest area??

If he runs past the ball and hits the player high, and he is concussed, 2-3 weeks would be a good outcome for luke.

Yer im trying to see what part of Parker body hit him high?? back of the head?

 

[Cadsky]

Clearly going for the sheppard but if he got him high it's bad luck. Not intentional but unfortunately that's the rules. If he cops a few weeks, he'll just have to accept it. Hope the other player is okay.

 

[MF]

Really shit timing. He would have been a good chance to come in for Fox this week, even if only as sub. Pretty much the perfect way back in to the team

 

[grimlock]

Really s**t timing. He would have been a good chance to come in for Fox this week, even if only as sub. Pretty much the perfect way back in to the team

Roberts will be in for Fox. Doubt Horse and the coaches will screw with the structure. Parker would have to replace one of Adams, Jordon, McInerney, Wicks but all of them are playing too well.

Roberts would be back in.
