Player Watch #27: Jack Darling

[Chip Scab1]

I think Longmire/Cox jumped too quick in tossing Parker to the side of the road. Yes be had injury and also a VFL suspension keeping him out of the AFL side.

But you wonder was their any consideration to re-purposing him down back and using him in the Hodge General role like we have done. Callum Mills is a potato chip and is always injured with soft tissues and his shoulder incident with the Kont. Rampe might have him covered athletically (but not hardness and footy smarts). Parker covers Bice easily.

It’s a poor list call for a nearly 300 gamer club icon. It is not hurting them at the moment as they are flying, but come finals and GF time is when the Swans tease their support base and I would want Parker on my side in some shape or form.

Scummy organisation, a playing list filled to the brim with impostors and semi-frauds and they chose to get rid of Parker. I remind my Swan mates of this every week. **** them. I hate Papley, JMac and some of their players so ****ing much.

I look forward to them shitting the bed (again).

If they take McCartney off us, I will go postal, genuinely.

I reckon they can wear the loss via their artificially enhanced list and ability to leverage that into drawing in quality mature recruits.

We get to enjoy Luke Parker as a north player and that's about as far as the blowback will go.

Depends if they can play in GFs or not.

Last one they played in he kicked three goals, led the tackle count and was one of their best three players.

They lost by 10 goals.

Does anyone know what Darling is thinking of doing when he retires? l wouldn't mind him staying at the club in some coaching capacity. Maybe Forward Coach.

If that means Xaviar Clarke is pink-slipped, I'm all for it.

Maybe he can show Larkey where the gym is while he's at it.

Nick would also take to the hair-fixing module like a duck to water
