Looks like they have shifted Parker to the midfield.

I thought he was playing more midfield. They must still rate him to move him there. He looked too good for HB in the VFL anyway

our most promising kids seem to be those picked later in recent years. Think it’s time to start splitting late teens picks for a couple of 2nd rounders or three 3 rounders!

Had very high hopes for Parker this season, but so far he just seems to be average at best, what are other, regular VFL watchers thoughts?

Like Bianco, name me 3 small and slow players in the AFL...

Ginnivan is one although he's now at VFL due to that reason

What is HDM good at? I don’t see a single AFL trait when I watch him (albeit on limited occasions).

Is quite sad. Has not kicked on at all. Was at the coburg game and he was getting pushed off the ball by smaller opponents, and struggled to get into the action.

Here’s hoping something clicks for him, as he is a fair way off it atm. Meanwhile Joel Freijah is lighting it up at AFL level - pick 45 from same draft. If only….

It was always going to be hard for Derek to overlook an Ex cricketer/basketballer/golfer and great trout smoker like Harry. I sometimes think it was a parting gift. Having just put him down, I actually think he has ability

He had a couple of break out games near end of last season from memory where I thought it had clicked and we’d see linear progression this year. Been a slow start.

Struggling to find the ball on the wing. And when he’s played centre bounce struggled.

Difference for him is he can atleast play flank. That’s issue I see for Allan as he’s not a flanker, not ready for midfield. So can’t ease him on a flank at senior level like a lot of young mids.

I still want to know where that young dogs mid came from..

I think he missed a bit of pre season this year which might have him a bit behind

There's a few inside mids, but agree concerning flankers. Although if you've got a Lipinski like tank you could do it.

You can do that in every draft

We could say why did we Pick Charlie Dean over Ned Long in the 2021 Rookie Draft?
