Matt Parker!!!!!

[thejiggingsaint]

He’s also from W.A... perhaps this affected his Freo game? First game in the big leagues on home turf??

THREE games into his senior AFL Career, and I'm prepared to cut "nosey" a wee bit of slack. Yes, indeed it could have been a case of "home turf fever" Premium89. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, for at least another game or two.

one of the good things about our list is its evenness . We have many like for like replacements, so should use this to our advantage by pressure for spots or only playing 100% fit guys. In the case of Parker, Long would be a logical like for like. We may not have a lot of top end talent, but we have a wide band of B grade talent with some likely to go A this season.

Hear hear!!

Better start troubling the scoreboard soon- desire and attack is one thing, but as a forward, you need be kicking goals.

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Very lucky but deserves to redeem himself. I'm tipping a big game.

[bigred]

Needs to perform if he makes the 22. Could still come out for Longy.

If he doesn't he will go back to Sandy and kick a bag. He's gonna be one of those.

I know I'll get 'howled' at for this, but the way he's playing is eerily reminiscent (to me) of McQualter in 2009/2010.
He seems to me (at least) as having been designated as a 'defensive' forward whose role is to apply maximum pressure to the backline 'distributors' of the opposition. His own disposal stats seem to be almost irrelevant.
Any goals he gets almost seem to be a 'bonus'.
His defensive work combined with Long and Lonie is exhilarating to watch.
There were a number of times that their combined manic and speedy pressure made the opposition 'nervous'.

Blackened Dermies eye at training, elbowed him in the eye as he came down from a mark! Has to get at least another game for that alone!

needs to do more
