Toast Welcome Matthew Parker

[George]

For me parker is definitely in the 22, he's a livewire, seeing him fight for a ground ball in the first quarter said it all, he just wanted it more - manic. Also kicks goals, great skills, fast.

Passage of play in the third term where he won the centre clearance, handballed to himself, then handballed to his teammate, got the 1-2 back and lasered a pass into the forward 50...the kid can seriously play.

yeah that was great, i hope we give him bursts on the ball this year, adds serious x factor (the thing we need most!)

We've plucked a player with similar traits to J. Stephenson, but with a harder edge to his game..
His endeavor & physicality will flow on to his teammates..
Like Cuz he might take a couple of years to be a 4 qtr player, he'll no doubt repay the club & some..

[Joffaboy]

He looks good but remember, he has not played one AFL game yet.

Remember the bagging Long got early on. Only started to play well after 7 or 8 games.

I'd have him in simply by virtue of his x factor (most of our players are good but relatively predictable). His lack of predictability will make him a very hard match up.

Looked promising yesterday. Looking forward to seeing how he goes in the NAB Cup.

Yes I was thinking same. May not be consistent but certainly adds a new dimension / dynamic.

Geez, it didn't take long for Matty to make an impression on his teammates did it?

Aren't you clever.
I said it was my choice.
My choice is that i don't drop the guy on the list who kicks the third most goals per game in the team, for a guy who does....stuff i guess.
I like forwards who kicks goals. Now you can talk about tackles and s**t, but no-one knows the best tackling forward in the AFL without looking it up.

But Lonie haters gonna hate.

Find out who Cho has in his team, that's how the selection is really determined.

Would definitely have Mav

I hope young Parker gets a go. He looks like he would make the most of an opportunity.

I like Lonie but the sample size is too small to get excited about. He had a nice 5 game stretch at the end of last year but if we’ve learnt anything it’s that there’s no guarantee he’ll keep that up.

Really intrigued to see where and how Parker may fit into the side. Clearly a real chance for Round 1 but in which spot and at the expense of who is the bit that's got me.

190 cm, played hff/mid in the intra club so he's not really taking the Lonie/Long,Young small forward spot - vastly different to player to Membrey so he's not a "tall" forward.

Do you play him as some hybrid mid/wing/hff in which case its Acres/Newnes/Sinclair who maybe in the gun.
