Recommitted Luke Parker

[Joao]

Good players but seems to have a massive tendency to drift in and out of games. At his best he is outstanding but can go missing for large periods of games.

Someone I would consider trading one of our very early picks for. Can't see him leaving though.

Would need a decent kicker to go with the early pick.

Essendon can kiss my shiny metal ass.

We should have a thread listing all the rumours the jornos come up with, would make a good read with a bit of time

I'd like to start a thread showcasing every time someone says a journalist said something they didn't say.

There is one

Dodo will do it if it gets the trade done.

Looks like this rumour is dead already.

From Tom Harley: “I was very surprised to hear about trade rumours with Luke Parker. I can unequivocally deny those rumours. We have spoken to Luke today, he is fully invested in the Swans and we won’t be trading him under any circumstances at all"

Unfortunate for Essendon. There's always Gary Rohan I guess.

That's what you say 4 weeks out from trade time, you don't shoot yourself in the foot like the doggies did with Stringer.

I don't think so.

Hard to do a 180 and trade him after saying it’s a definite no. Swans are pretty competent with trade situations.

This is pretty much how all trades involving contracted players start.

 

[Bollox]

Agree with the last three posts. Asking the question is completely different to the player asking for a trade. Nothing will come of this.

This ^

Right now the management of a lot of guys are receiving polite enquiries.

If Dons have identified a need and expressed an interest in him they would made the call. Nothing weird or wrong with that.

The situation though is he would need to want to leave. It wont be happening unless Parker is disgruntled....and noone has ever suggested he isnt happy as a pig in shit.

Sounds like just another journo that reads FigBooty, and trying to flog a story to become relevant.

Give it another 2 days and a journo will suddenly remember Zach Merrett and Gary Rohan are both Cobden boys. Then its Rohan to the Dons !!!!!

Nah, never that definitive. Usually it’s “he’s a contracted player and we expect him to be here next year..” etc

 

[catman2006]

Sydney would be crazy to let him leave if they have any ambition to play finals next year, dont think hanners and rohan would effect them much but Parker would.

Agreed, I can also see Sydney perhaps looking to move on Kieran Jack to give their list a bit of a refresh.

 

[Tbone McGraw]

Swans will not let Parker leave with Hannebury and Rohan going.

 

[Caj]

I don't think so.

I'll bite again

Do you claim to have some inside info or are you just a troll?

 

[Tedeski]

If Parker wanted to go, as a contracted player he would command two high first rounders.
He would also command $1M per year easy. This could be where the temptation is coming from
Nearly every player is tradeable at the right price.
What would we accept as a trade for a contracted Parker?
I think the Bombers for example would be able to pay the $1M once Daniher comes our way.

Neither.

Neither.

So on what basis are you disputing Harley's assertion that Parker isn't up for trade?

Rumours don't die after club officials deny them.

 

[Blacky]

I still wouldn't do it. Unless we're looking to bottom out for the next couple of years.

It’s looking increasingly likely to me
