has plenty of football ahead and has already compiled a resume packed with impressive achievements. Since landing at the Sydney Swans via the 2010 AFL Draft, he has won a 2012 premiership medal, earned All Australian selection and won two Bob Skilton medals. In 2015, he was added to the club’s leadership group at the age of just 22, and has led the team as a co-captain alongside Josh Kennedy and Dane Rampe

since 2019. While Parker is among the league’s elite midfielders, his strong marking and expert game awareness make him a genuine threat when rotating through the forward line.

[mattpolo8]

Yeah he's basically locked in to return next week

 

[The King!]

Should play a VFL game first

 

[wills2g]

Nah we need Parker, we will get slaughtered by Rowell without him

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Million dollar question - who does he come in for?

 

[Olian]

Hasn’t played in 6+ weeks. Adams went via the VFL after missing 4 weeks so should Parker.

 

[Millky95]

Mitchell

 

[Kiama Chris]

Hasn’t played in 6+ weeks. Adams went via the VFL after missing 4 weeks so should Parker.

Adams had a leg injury and needed the run. Parker has been able to keep up his aerobic fitness.

 

[The King!]

lol Parker should show some form before we bring him in against a quick midfield

 

[Olian]

Adams had a leg injury and needed the run. Parker has been able to keep up his aerobic fitness.

True but he’s still lacking match practice. It’s a fair chunk of time to miss.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Mitchell

Using Parks as the sub is not the worst idea. I reckon though he will start and it will either be Fox or Jordan who play sub.

Just like the 2012 GF..

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

I like the idea of LP having a run around in the twos. Might have the aerobic fitness but not touch with the ball or much competitive body contact work.

 

[mattpolo8]

Not against him being the sub
Against him having a run in the 2s

Why? It's totally logical. He's only played three quarters of a practice match since last year, absolutely no match fitness at all.

 

[mattpolo8]

Why? It's totally logical. He's only played three quarters of a practice match since last year, absolutely no match fitness at all.

I just think he's been put through some pretty vigorous testing. It's an arm injury. He can still be put through 120 minutes of solid match play, just no physical contact with that arm.

I also think there's some players you don't put through the 2s. He's one. For mine.

 

[Millky95]

We need his leadership more than anything at the moment. For that alone he doesn't play in the 2s

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Good point, particularly in the fwd half. His stentorian voice and organisation will help.

I wonder if the plate was removed and how many body contact and ball handling sessions he’s got through.

You get a point just for 'stentorian'.

 

[zyzzbruh]

Why? It's totally logical. He's only played three quarters of a practice match since last year, absolutely no match fitness at all.

because playing a sub based on squad rotation rather than direct impact has already cost us a game so far.

An out of touch parker is going to impact more than Mitchell or Corey. It really is as simple as that.

 

[Wazowski]

Is he gonna play in the 2s?

 

[mattpolo8]

Is he gonna play in the 2s?

Vfl side hasn't been announced yet. But he has to doesn't he?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Vfl side hasn't been announced yet. But he has to doesn't he?

Expect it is the Surgeons call.

 

[mattpolo8]

Expect it is the Surgeons call.

But surely if he was a test then he's been cleared...

 

[J_Moore]

Sick of Longmire playing favourites

 

[mattpolo8]

Named in the 2s
