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.

[Punts]

look what your doing

 

[robbieando]

One out as a forward at times. If he couldn’t mark it, it was marched directly to the other end of the ground. Provided no pressure once it went to ground but not helped by poor coaching and lack of help up the field.

 

[Prez]

Another spectacular grand final just brilliant, gives us nothing

Your a goose he battled hard all day kept Andrews to 6 possessions at half time till the coach gave him a go in the middle after half time when the damage was done

 

[MF]

Blame doesn't fall on him at all. Gutted for him if that's his last game for us

 

[Punts]

Pull ya head in king

Have a look at the face itself

 

[Cadsky]

Thanks for your service Luke, you'll always be one of my favourites but I'm convinced you've made up your mind. Best of luck

 

[Punts]

How many years has this bloke put his body on the line and be consistent good?

You are weak as piss if you are bagging him and what he had done in his over 250 game career

 

[The King!]

Your a goose he battled hard all day kept Andrews to 6 possessions at half time till the coach gave him a go in the middle after half time when the damage was done

bull he gave no chase and was non competitive until the game slowed down

the fan boy stuff for parker is ott, he never delivered in a grand final yet which sucks because he has been a key player and a great servant just staggers me he can get it done on the big stage and this year against the best.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Personally thought he did all he could.

Hope that’s not the end for him because he has even a fantastic player for a long time.

You’re wrong mate - he kept Andrews accountable - his lack of impact was down to the ramshackle delivery into the forward line.

Plenty worse than him.

 

[SM]

****ing hell you really can't help yourself.

Kicked two. Plenty worse.

What an awful take.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Parker was never going to be the ANSWER, especially parked in the F50. Wasn't our worst, but won't be the answer in the future either. Would be the right call for both player and club if he took the North pension plan.

 

[melbournehammer]

What an awful take.

But it was true . Parker tried hard and the blame should be 100% on horse for that problem.

Some of the players deserve a bit as well. Deciding to kick to Parker versus Andrew’s was a ridiculous decision and then when it hit the ground which wa actually creditable to Parker the ball just was swept away with Parker trailing by 5m in every situation

Parker was there to negate Andrews. Which he did. The end.

 

[melbournehammer]

Parker was there to negate Andrews. Which he did. The end.

He doesn’t negate him if the ball kicks kicked there Andrew’s spoils and the lions clear with ease. That’s not negating, that’s just ensuring that they have complete confidence that a kick in that area will be brought to ground and then the forward won’t be able to put any pressure on to keep it in that area.

But sure maybe you think that’s a win.

 

[KingV23]

Parker was there to negate Aliir last week, which he did. Where was the criticism then? There was none because we won. There were many passengers today, so lets look at the team as a whole and not single out 1 bloke.

I for one am not criticising Parker. I’m 100% criticising the person who placed him there thinking that an inside mid on his last legs should be played as a the deepest forward because that might negate the opponents best marking player, knowing fill well that Parker needs the person to be under pressure from a range of other persons to make an effective tackle.

Ball goes there, and goes back again in 2 seconds.

That’s not on Parker. It’s on horse

 

[Ticky009]

Keep the personal insults out of the discussion and if you can't then go walk the dog...or something.

 

[Olian]

Kicked some nice goals in the last. Unfortunately another grand final where he was poor. But not alone.

He won’t have to worry about grand finals at north

 

[Punts]

Maybe the team should have a hard look at themselves

Embarrassing once again

His fault?

Thibk we do?

Embarrassed

 

[Superstar swan]

Embarrassed

Good point
