Player Watch #26: Luke Parker

[Dingster]

Silk had all week to ask did you ever think you'd ever get to 300 games with Sydney and North.

Why is he touching his groin and screaming? Strange pic to use.

Anyway, hope he plays well and more importantly the club puts in a much better shift today.......

We lift for these tribute games. I always remember us farewelling Stevens and Archer with a 100 pt demolition of Brisbane.

Edit: just looked it up had it round the wrong way. All these years, been living a lie.

Having a crack should be a given every time they play not just because it is a milestone game for someone (although I appreciate the sentiment).

Was enormous today

Who ended up chairing him off?

 

[RightWingRoo]

Should be captain

Should be captain

Parker and JD a big to the recruiting staff. He's a reminder of what our senior boys lack. I don't even know what it is. Mentality?

 

[Dingster]

Has some campaigner about him that inspires others. Some hack kicks early but love having him in the side.

The advantage of not being career losers.
They actually know what playing in a good side looks like. They've played in big games and big moments and come through. None of our long term players have that experience and inner belief in themselves.

Luke really should be captain to drag this group along with him.
Darling doesn't have a whole lot left in the tank football wise, but he has a lot of experience and knowledge of forward craft to pass on. Reckon PC has really benefitted from it, attach him to Duursma as well.

Such a weird obsession about who chairs off a player.

Sam Reid and Darling

No it’s a fair question if you didn’t see it at the end and especially him being part of the “foreign legion” with only a handful of games in the blue and white I get why someone should ask.

It’s one thing to be curious but it’s a genuine obsession for him.

[DuckYeah]

Sorry Jyza, you need to hand it over. NOW

 

[archereleven]

Loved it when he was getting physical with the Poorta players, he was still directing the other mids around him where to set up.

Basically saying, "I'll torment these campaigners, you just concentrate on the game"

 

[viccles]

Parker for captain, then hands it over to Sheez

 

[Possession]

If the universe throws us a bone for once then hopefully this bloke could end up as one of those guys still playing good footy at 35+, Dangerfield, Sidebottom, Zorko etc areas.

 

[DunderHead]

Agree he should be Captain just to take the responsibility away from others who need to simply be focussing on form and development at this stage in their careers.

Need a couple more senior blokes on the list. High quality proven players who don’t drop their bundle.

Parker coming out swinging

Luke defending PC. A real leader. Crickets from others.

 

[Arathrawn]

This is leadership. To hell with being worried about upsetting people. Stand up and call out the bullshit.
