Player Watch #26: Luke Parker

[desie]

Hopefully the rest of them are reflecting on this and asking themselves if they’re honestly doing everything they can just like this bloke.

On the evidence so far you’ve got to wonder.

I’ve called this one ‘Parks & Recreation’.

Fantastic shot

Hope everyone else takes a good look in the mirror. Bloke has a flipping broken rib and cracked in harder than anyone (besides Konstanty) at the man and the ball on Saturday.

 

[Roo Beauty]

We don’t deserve him.

 

[Shermanator]

Quite embarrassing that a bloke whose been at the club for five minutes has more Shinboner in him than most of the list..

Says a lot that they both came from the oppo's system too.

True and unfortunately I expected it.

 

[viccles]

Wish we’d had Parker years ago

 

[Kanga Glory]

Been at the club 5 minutes and wants to prove himself even with the record he has. Probably shows the mentality from where he has been to where he is now. Hopefully him showing the way a few jump on board

 

[travelli]

And players now don't play with a sniffle lol soft as ****

Tough as nails. Imagine him with a full bill of health

I reckon Xerri is playing injured

Well, it's why we got him. Most of our blokes were drafted post the cull of 2016. Never played with someone who has his resume or mentality.

Plus he came with the little psycho as steak knives.

^ agree

"Shinboner" as a noun is dead. Scotts killed it.

Resilience through adversity isn't some sort of north badge of honour anymore. Most players who play any length of time have that.

The fact we still glorify our players being tough like it is an outlier is a sign of how ****ed we've been.

 

[Twinkletoes]

New banner pic thanks to the brilliance of maddiemelb.

 

[The Nostradamus]

would probably need a rest soon especially with that rib he is playing through, that port round 7 away game would make most sense
then 300th on the thursday night at home vs bombers fresh

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

why have they announced it to the public and still played him?

 

[Flawed Genius]

Says a lot that they both came from the oppo's system too.

The difference being of course that one comes from the system and loves the system and the other one wants to destroy it more than he wants fresh oxygen

The rhetoric is getting really old, really fast.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Having a real dip and trying to establish a healthier standard.

 

[scottywiper]

The rhetoric is getting really old, really fast.

Five years of it is taking the piss a bit

 

[Chip Scab1]

The rhetoric is getting really old, really fast.

Not as old as the missed targets and missed opportunities to keep the game alive for longer.

That shit is ruining my weekends. We have improved, we're in games for longer, but the lack of care over dropped marks and missed spoils and shanked kicks and handballing
behind the running support at crucial times - needs to stop.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Five years of it is taking the piss a bit

And the same players make the same fundamental errors week after week be it positioning, decision making or skills.

The club is cooked across all levels.
