On the game, I'm keen to see Parker tried in a variety of positions, because he can play, but i'm not sure he gets in playing half back unless IQ gets injured or something. Hayes exciting moments, but happy for him to bide his time until he builds an AFL physique.

100% - this was my takeaway from the game. Has a touch of class when he gets involved, would love to see us get some senior footy into him (eg. would pick him over Markov if that eventuated), he's one of our better youngsters at this level

Markov can play a defensive shutdown role on dangerous small/medium forwards.. Don't see how Parker could do that.

Parker is more a slower Josh Daicos

Nice to see Parker regaining form.
He’s talented.
Maybe lacks a little pace, but has a footy brain.
These players are gold.

Saw that on West and thought it was odd but only an issue for him. Wonder who does the data entry for the VFL.

It's an issue for more than West. Mason 5 scores, but only 4 score involvements. Algeri only one more score involvement than score seems unlikely. Hude no score involvements outside of his goals. I suspect that goals weren't attributed as score involvements.

Don’t think Parker is slower than JD but he lacks JD’s kicking versatility.

Go back and watch him on Charlie Cameron late last year

Charlie Dean 10 intercepts

He's a gun defender at VFL.

As was Frampton, until finally blossoming.
Confidence builds belief - so Dean may well have a role.
Just needs a string of games.

That said, his lack of speed may ultimately prove insurmountable.

Dean does a lot of things at AFL standard I think, but unfortunately doesn't look to have an AFL body. Billy sure as hell does.

Agree - I’m not suggesting Dean takes the monsters as Billy can. His body is more suited to a Howe/Murphy role.

Yup Dean is a tweener at AFL level. A bit small to play KPD, a bit slow to play on a flank…

I really like him. But you can't keep someone indefinitely in the hope they bulk up. Lists aren't big enough for that.

They won't be able to ignore his VFL form for much longer. He's too good for VFL now.

The only way he gets a game is through injury or a player being rested.

That's the dilemma atm. They will reward him in the near future. He's killing it.
