Most overrated from the media and bigfooty out of any Swans player possibly ever. He's horrendous in big games- or big games that are semi competitive. Very rarely does it feel like he's in the best in a losing side.

He and Rohann have got to be embarassed about their sustained useless finals performances.

Part of the most overrated midfield in history - just watch Hodge, Mitchell, Burgoyne and Lewis destroy them in 2014. Media myth.

Didn't the AFL webpage headline him as a big game performer last weekend?

On the app I use I got this:

It's odd, as he seems to be the sort of play that should thrive in big games. Wins contested footy, good overhead, strong over the ball, but hasn't really had an impact in the big games.

Pretty harsh pointing to an individual player... the team as a whole is capable of some terrifyingly good football and in my opinion displayed some of the best football we've seen this season after round 7....

The team just seems to keep having their "off days" when it matters and in finals.... 2014 GF, 2016 GF and now 2017 QF.
Too many people go missing and wait for someone else to inspire them to lift.
Great when things are going their way, Very very bad if things aren't following their script.... They need to be able to adapt their game style going forward if they are to take the next step. They almost seemed complacent going in again and almost like they have been drinking their own bathwater.... Every time they are leading into a finals match they are touted to win by a large margin the opposite ends up occurring.

It's a team issue, not a Parker issue... many players went missing yesterday... Kennedy (way down on normal output/influence), Rohan, Sinclair, Smith, Papley, Towers, Cunningham, Rampe (well and truly beaten)...

Geelong deserved the victory last night.
