Hahaha...we all know this is how he was dressed just before the draft started.
Debut as sub in the grand final, unused and therefore becomes the first player to ever become a life member at a club (for playing achievements) without actually stepping on the ground for the club.
Not related to Parker but
Bailey Lambert didnt nominate for the mid season draft making him still eligible to be still nominated as a father son for Richmond in the november draft
I wonder if we told him not to nominate so as to pickup parker now and Lambert later
This would indicate we have been tracking Parker for a while and had determined he was the player we will take

One thing we can certainly be proud of is just how many indigenous boys we have at the club and how ingrained they are in the place. There was a while there we we had almost none and I'm not sure the club worked with or understood them particularly well, but the club has really turned the corner in being able to understand their history and particular challenges and work with them on and off the field. Edwards, rioli x2, Pickett, stack and now parker. And they could all feasibility be in the team at once.
It really shows the cultural shift the club has made and its something that we can be proud of.

Then afterwards he glances across the room, catches the eye or Marlion Pickett &.....

Agreed!!
The last paragraph on this article on our website - https://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/950800/parker-becomes-a-tiger-via-mid-season-draft - says he is the 9th indigenous player on our list. I only count 7 others - Pickett, Bolton, Stack, Dan Rioli, Maurice Jnr, Edwards and Egg. Anyone know who the other one is?

Will reverse-tag Lever out of a Grand Final.

Is it just me or could this guy be absolutely ridiculous for us when we're at our fittest and best?
Was kind of annoyed we didn't go for Callow but, after watching our 7-goal burst last night, slotting Parker into that style of play could be awesome...

Something seems sus re Callow imo
He was rated so highly pre AFL draft and looked over (trained with the hawks pre season but didn’t get a spot in the side)
Than goes on to play a decent sanfl season to date but still one of the last picked in the mid season draft where talls that has shown less we’re picked before him
Maybe questions about off field behaviour or commitment from clubs?

Question marks on his effectiveness once the ball hits the deck and his follow up efforts from what I have heard. Clubs view him as almost useless when the ball hits the deck.
Reckon Parker will play on the wing…this weekend

Not sure how you see a need for callow when we got a youngsters CCJ that 10 clubs are circling and Ryan looking a very likely type at vfl too.

Its not hard to see Edwards is a good positive influence in terms of leadership and being proactive.
Eddie Betts leadership and maturity is so profound its scary when in the media. Edwards looks like he might be a chip off this block to
Saw a quick snippet on the news yesterday that he impressed in a scratch match with a mixture of North and essendon players over the weekend. Possibly at punt road?
Get him in V saints. Need to get a look at him before finals to see what he can offer and no better time than against his old team.
