Mattew Parker. Watch out!!
I saw this guy on stage at the AGM.
He managed to crack a half smile but the look of steel in his eyes plus a lean mean tatt-riddled body made me think as an opponent you don’t want to f*** with him.
You read it here first - this guy will be a gun.
He’s one of those annoying Freo speedster types but somehow he’s in our side no the opposition for once.
Can’t wait for him to show his stuff and dominate.

Re: Mattew Parker. Watch out!!
Lets hope he looks as good on the footy field as he does on stage. Ell McPherson looks pretty good on stage, but she'd probably struggle to get a kick in the WFL

Re: Mattew Parker. Watch out!!
I don't think so. Elle would be a superb CHF like Wayne Carey. She would glide across the ground like a sylph and kick long goals from both sides without a hair out of place.

Re: Mattew Parker. Watch out!!
I am not trying to compare ability, but if I was to chose a "plays like" it would be Jayden Stephenson.. similar build, height, speed and position.. both run without much knee lift yet are both really quick
I hope really Parker is actually good at AFL level and makes an impact!

And his brother Peter can't wait to perform at Marvel stadium. Two sets of Saint bros to look forward to, and reassignment of Everett's jumper.

Hoping he will be the next Tim Kelly for us. I think Hind and Young will go ok too. These guys have been given a chance as ready made players so to speak so lets hope they grasp this chance with both hands like a Hulk Hogan wrestling move.

Re: Mattew Parker. Watch out!!
Just watched his highlights reel again and if he can emulate 50% of that at AFL level Im happy ...I know highlight reels can be misleading but I like the way he moves and is happy to back himself and run.

So that's the secret behind successful drafting. Make sure they look mean and have tatts. saintspremiers , I've seen a lot of your dumb posts but this one is your best.....saintspremiers wrote: ↑Thu 20 Dec 2018 9:37pm I saw this guy on stage at the AGM.

Re: Mattew Parker. Watch out!!
He is the one out of the 3 mature age recruits that will more likely make an impact in 2019.
There really is some competition to get spots now a lot of similar level players vying for positions and these 3 mature age recruits will be ready to go straight away.
Parker has something and it will be interesting with Ben Long how this plays out.

Re: Mattew Parker. Watch out!!
I'm with you all the way on Matt Parker , saintsapremier, like you I believe he will be a revelation and provide tremendous grunt both on the ball and in the forward line.saintspremiers wrote: ↑Thu 20 Dec 2018 9:37pm I saw this guy on stage at the AGM.

Parker is the sort of player St Kilda have rarely had, expect him to be much like the Dockers Michael Walters, mercurial, hard running, tough as nails and a game breaker when on song.

Re: Mattew Parker. Watch out!!
I think the point is that he has grunt, maybe a bit of mongrel which we haven't had for years !
Very frustrating watching other teams stomp all over us
Hopefully that will change now with him and a few others in the team

Re: Mattew Parker. Watch out!!
There was a reason probably several why he was a late start pick so I am not getting my hopes up. Not being negative more realistic. Good news is that he seems to be in good condition and knows this is his one shot. He thought he would go As A rookie pick so that is how I view him.
