Luke Parker Finals Performances

[demondavey]

Although that is true i'd argue that Sydney are a better side/playing a lot better than a lot of teams that have finished 6th in previous seasons.

Yes true, but Geelong are also a pretty good outfit. I am not surprised by the result last night.

Surprised me, wet weather conditions not normally conducive to 40+ point victories.
I think what surprised me the most was how insipid Sydney were.. Jekyll and Hyde if there ever was such a thing.

 

[Dank You Steven]

Mate, even now, after his calamitous coaching stint, Buckley commands ten-folds the respect Parker does.

Buckley is so far ahead of Parker it's not funny.

 

[scaryness]

Was he sub in every game bar the 2014 PF?

Only the 2013 PF. He was still one of our best players

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Hes nowhere near the top 10 players in the comp.

 

[rank and file]

I rate him
First goal in the granny last year was good at $22.

 

[The King!]

Hes nowhere near the top 20 players in the comp.

Fixed

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Looking at the list and discounting his games as sub. There's nothing to suggest that he's remarkably bad in finals, he's had some good games and some poor ones.

I don't think the issue with Parker is finals, it's specifically games played on the MCG where games tend to be a bit more open and his lack of leg speed is exposed on a wider ground. It happens to host a lot of finals games which reflects poorly on Parker's September record.

The bigger the game the less he is involved,
He can rack up a few useless stats sometimes

As does every midfielder ever

The bigger games happen to be played on the MCG. His record there even in H/A games against bottom 10 teams isn't impressive.

A bit unfair to say his possessions in the other finals are useless. In what situation would you deem them useful?

Bit of a weak excuse given Sam Mitchell thrived on the same ground.

Partially because of the calamitous coaching stint, he just won't die

 

[MightyHawks]

Give me Rohan stats

2014 Grand Final: 2 and a half bounces

 

[Dank You Steven]

The Swans are just utter shite when the heat is really on. Hawthorn were crap most of this, year - did them in pressure games. Geelong turned the screw - folded. All finals series since 2012 - wilted under intense pressure. They will never win a flag with their flakiness.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Had a poor year. Better than Rohan though.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Oh I wasn't trying to take away from Buckley's career in any way trust me.
Buckley did that all by himself when he forfeited his right to a three peat but Parker is a much respected member of the Swans & your club would kill for a player of his quality but you'll just have to make do with Buckley's patchwork quilt.

We just don't really know how any one of your players perform in finals, is all I will add, so you can hide behind that statistic proudly & think twice before you try to bring down one of our hardest players in the team with this crap.

Pendles goes alright.

 

[Sydswans666]

*sub rule didn't help his early performances

Done his pcl in the 2017 prelim

 

[Tedeski]

Pendles goes alright.

Under Buckley?

 

[scaryness]

Had a poor year. Better than Rohan though.

Poor year or poor finals?

Because he will probably place in the B&F, if not win it.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Under Buckley?

Oh i see, you change the goal posts when someone makes a fool of you.

 

[The King!]

Poor year or poor finals?

Luke parker wont win the best and fairest, was ordinary for the first half of the year

 

[The King!]

Oh i see, you change the goal posts when someone makes a fool of you.

Its painful

He can pad stats.

He is a good swans player, but he has a reputation as a great mid and when the heat is on he does not deliver, when we need him to be the man when the chips are down he plays like he did friday. If we wre cruising around dominating then sure parker will rack up 30

I think its fair for people to question his big game efforts when the media build him up. Reality is he is a solid 3rd-5th mid in a team

 

[ManOfClay]

Buckley is so far ahead of Parker it's not funny.

I don't know why this is being discussed.

Buckley is a great of the AFL. 10 years after Parker retires he will be forgotten
