Never really showed much at Hawthorn. Can't win them all. I still remember him completely fluffing a certain goal against Richmond (IIRC) by trying to handball to Franklin and missing.
Probably the last error he ever made. And from a swans perspective, even that was gold!

Tell me one good final Parker has played?
Honestly thought he was pretty decent last night, albeit with a few mistakes mixed in - 24 disposals, 6 clearances, 12 tackles and a goal.

Was arguably BOG against North in the 2014 PF as well - 26 disposals, 6 clearances, 8 tackles, 3 goals.

Was also arguably BOG against Fremantle in the 2014 QF too - 32 disposals, 6 clearances, 6 tackles and a goal.

Was also pretty good against Carlton in the 2013 SF as well - 22 disposals, 3 goals, 2 goal assists.

Hasn't really disgraced himself in most of the other finals he's played, either. I mean, he's still only 23, just coming into his prime now. Has played his fair share of good finals so far I think, and will most likely play a fair few more as he travels through the prime of his career.

2012 he was sub for the finals
2013 he was good in all the finals
2014 he was sensational bar the day everyone was crap
2015 he was injured
This year he has been good

Trouble is clueless hawk fan has no idea

It was against the Cats in the game Bartel kicked the winning point after the siren. Probably cost the Hawks finals in 2009.


skip to 5.55.

He is a legend and gets far less credit than he deserves.

Ablett and Dangerfield are prime examples. Great players, but over-hyped up because they play(ed) for Geelong rather than Sydney.
Hahaha give danger a chance he hasn't played stacks of finals and has been pretty dam good in ones he has played

Wow a gangly awkward looking J Roughead and a tattooless overweight Bud.

Bartel, Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis, Selwood. Everyone looks so young. Shiels looks about 10 years old.

Back on topic. One of the things I admire about Kennedy is that he never has to snipe his opponents to get the job done. He just goes about his business and rarely gets caught up in the tough guy acts.
This.

He is clearly one of the bigger bodied mids but doesn't seem to have that 'tough guy' mentality. Let's his contested possies do the talking.
