Started in the vest in those first five games, of course.

 

[SSSSSS]

Likes going downhill.

 

[Skeparovic]

Vonn will still think he's awesome regardless of what stats or opinions are posted here. As will the Maccas girl.

 

[Hawks1976]

Give me Rohan stats

 

[Gavin Excell]

Disappointing

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Give me Rohan stats

would be lucky to have 40 combined from all his finals

With those numbers maybe Cotchin like

 

[SilentHunter_]

Our team is mentally soft. This has been known to Swans fans for a while now.

nice try but no. and thats brownlow medalist cotchin to you

 

[The King!]

Overrated player

 

[Theprofessional]

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.

 

[scaryness]

2011-2012 he was sub, you left that part out

2013-2014 are those meant to be bad numbers?

2015-2016 injured/playing injured through finals

2017, one good and one bad where everyone sucked.

 

[Topkent]

L Parker in action in finals

A snowboarder in a half pipe?
If you are going to troll at least get your references right.

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

Still be more than Jabby Watson.

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

On the app I use I got this:

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

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.

Yes dismal trolling

 

[Chuckie357]

You mean captain default

 

[Godchin]

strong over the ball

I've never seen a big-bodied midfielder go to ground as easily as Parker does.

 

[BBC1967]

You mean captain default

Enjoy your off season!!!!

 

[Runk]

Yeah I reckon he's a ripper but when he's off, the whole team is off. Why didn't he play like that last week? Jerk.

 

[Aramis]

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.
