Who is the TK you speak of? Narkle is the perfect replacement to be honest, I’d even say Narkle is a tougher player, give him a full injury free pre season and this guy will be a star.

I love his kick on the boundary how he swings the balls ...espically when he is being tackled
He’s a very very smart player
He’s a very very smart player
We knew he got it when he played last year.
why wasnt narkle in the team from the beginning of this season. Ridiculous.

Put simply, he was in poor shape aerobically.
Why can't he get a game? Your club's missing men
They're the players who should be best 22, but aren't getting a look in. AFL.com.au reporters investigate why

The talent and footy nous has never been in question. By contrast, the fitness and determination to run both ways has been fairly mediocre at times.
I for one am delighted that he's now working hard enough to reap some of the benefits of his undoubted ability. If he stays fit and motivated, he will be a massive asset over a long period of time for the GFC.

Love that he has had to earn his spot - looks hungry at the right time of the year. Well done coaches and Narkle himself.

Do you honestly think he improved it while missing a large chunk of this season injured?Put simply, he was in poor shape aerobically.

Fine if applied to everyone. How does atkins and henry keep getting games?Not really - quite happy if the club has set standards for the players & that there's consequences for those who don't meet required standards; as long it's applied across the board and not just selectively
Shhhhh. Seeds was trying to claw out a negative in a feel good thread.Put simply, he was in poor shape aerobically.

Chris Scott has a quota in his contract of how many young players he will interact with each preseason. He likes to do it alphabetically. Unfortunately Narkle, despite being before Parsons, wasn’t on a first name basis (James is before Quentin), so he missed out. Likewise Wylie. It’s all true, take it from me.

Too much meat in the Narkle sandwich?

Bolded was the big issue for me - on show in VFL this year. Just didnt work hard enough. Has changed that last 1/3 of year ... good on him.
Hope he gives PFD the same tapes he watched.

Played 11 of 15 games he was available for in the VFL. Including the first five Bankers games consecutively.
Missed four games (over five weeks) in the middle of the season, before returning for five more VFL games in the row. He was then promoted to the seniors.
We would all have different definitions of what constitutes 'missing a large chunk of this season'. But playing just on 75% of games in the twos doesn't equate to that description for me.

Ablett Jnr 2.0 in my eyes. Looks a lot like The Little Master in the way he moves.
His numbers in the last few games have been insane, when you factor in the low gametime and that he's still building his fitness base:
Massive tank-building pre-season for this bloke, and the sky is the limit!

I am too, though I wonder how close the call was. Maybe it was the line-in-the-sand, wake up call Narkle needed. Or maybe it was inevitable that he'd be re-signed. Either way, he doesn't seem close to the starting 22 for Round 1, 2021. Parfitt, Simpson and Miers have shown there are spots available if you're good enough, I'd love to see Narkle take one.
Pleased he is staying. I would play him at high half forward. He is elusive, clever around goal and a nice user.
Needs a big summer of tackling with Parfitt.
I don’t see him making it as a midfielder, he just can’t stay in games for long enough.
Class player.
