Game Day Non-Swans Game Day Thread (The Finals)

Exactly what North needed having a good year for them

Keeping in mind, he did that against arguably the best midfield in the competition.

We could use a bit of his output at the moment...

Classic Luke Parker game. Unlike our lot, clearly has pride in his game.
8 clearances 6 inside 50s
23 disposals 8 tackles
1 goal 1 behind

Apparently he is done…..should never have been forced out imo…Riley Bice or no riley bice
.

Yep and unsighted in the last 6 minutes when the game was to be won, a classic Parker game.

But yep at least he gets in an under.

Forced out when he asked for a trade lol

Shame he didn’t do it against the same side when it mattered last year

My opinion only but regardless of what happened with the injury and suspension in 2024, Horse was moving him out, as signalled by the signing of Adams. Horse thought he was too slow and wanted more speed at the contest by the end of 2023.

Kinda hard when you're picked as a forward. Did the job when he played on Neale and co during the regular season.

Wasn’t the order of proceedings though

 

[Punts]

That’s not correct and I know for fact

I have told this to you before mate

 

[Punts]

Only thing I wish is he played his 300th with us. Send him off after this year if they wanted

Regardless how he is going at North his time at Sydney was done mate

He literally kicked 1/3 of our entire score for the day and led our tackle count. Say what you want about his skills but he never ever gave any less 100% for the jumper.

I wasn't against us letting him go because I think it would have been foolish to give him 2 more years based on his output last season, but there's no doubt he'd be extremely valuable right now.

Don't bother

To be fair, if we offered Parker, a 32 year old a 3 year deal you would have wondered.

That’s what North offered Parker.

If he had stayed at the Swans this year given where our season is at would you sign him for a few more years. That’s what North offered. Two more years.

Sliding doors moment but Parker prolonged his career by moving on (forced or not).

Are we happy for rampe to play on I wonder.

 

[Mister B]

Been a lot talked about how sad it is the young lad from Essendon has done his ACL. What’s lost in it all is just another example of Heeney being taken high in a marking contest and not being rewarded like a majority of other forwards in the league. Get angrier every time the replay the ****ing thing.

Heeney gets nothing from the umpires.

Certainly not on a 2 yr deal

Still playing enough good games to warrant a 1 year deal but I'd make it clear that him playing AFL in 2026 (+/- beyond) will be purely based on form and match ups.

So wonder why we didn't have the same appetite with Parker who on this years exposed form is in the same basket.

 

[SM]

No but on terms that make it clear he could get a second year if he maintains form.

 

[Mister B]

Great mark from Walter.

 

[Dangas]

Gold Coast are formidable. They bat very well in midfield.

 

[Mister B]

GC looking on. Hawks with a tough run of top teams coming up. Would love to see them go winless and be shown for what they are so far, a team that beats up on easy kills.

 

[RilesMacca]

Solid goal from Humphrey there can boot it
