He didn’t play 200 with us, did he?
He has played as a small forward in a vey good team (that has Kennedy and Darling as Key targets to crumb to)
He averages just over 1 goal a game and has been a serviceable small forward
a B Grade role player
Compared to
An AA midfielder, best and fairest, captain, also a premiership player. A Grade play maker
Not a good comparison
Why did Parker slide
They thought he was too slow, was a man child so he had no scope and he dominated because he was stronger than other 18yos
Thing is
They overlooked the fact that he could play the game
Sometimes if it quacks like a duck….
I find it pretty funny that you are so aggrieved by our decision not to draft Parker
Every year there are gun players looked over by all clubs
Swan, Hird, Gray, Montagna, Neale, Mitchell, Boyd, Priddis, Sloane, Steven, McGovern, Fisher, Brent Harvey, Betts, Charlie Cameron, Fantasia, Gawn, Laird, Breust, Papley, Rampe, Walters and on and on and on
If we had picked Parker he very likely would not have made a difference anyway given our window had been slammed shut by 2012
Are you related to Parker?
