Sorry Vonn. I can confirm that Luke is well and truly spoken for: http://www.sydneyswans.com.au/video/2015-09-11/at-home-with-parks
Just heard on radio that Luke Parker is trying his hardest to get back on the field for this Saturday's night game. Any thoughts ???
This was on the Sydney Swans Facebook group, so make of it what you will:
Anyone hear this?

Swans coach John Longmire joked Parker was doing "cartwheels" by his office trying to convince him he is ready to play and Larkins said he may be available for the preliminary final against the Eagles, if the Swans beat the Roos.
The man is a freak, if he plays against the Eagles it would be a remarkable effort.
Yeah I'm not expecting him to play this week.
I would of taken the punt on Nick Smith on the weekend could of won us the game.
The fibula isn't a "weight-bearing" bone so while it's impressive that he's so keen to be playing already, it isn't all that uncommon for people to recover this quickly from breaking that bone.
A doctor I know told me that and he said it causes surprise because people automatically associate a "broken leg" with months and months and months of recovery time, but a broken fibula can be healed and the patient can be ready to play full contact sport in six weeks after injury. So it's great but it's not like there's some super-human healing going on here, from what I've been told anyway.
I jumped on this post desperate for news Parker was good to go next week. Very disappointed.
Amber and Kate seem lovely, though.

Hahahahahahahha that's awesome!! Kudos Tuco!
roll the dice
Maybe, but no rush. Wouldn't risk it until a prelim and even then probably only as a sub.
No tomorrow if we lose this week, id risk jack smith and parker if any or all are available
