He wanted to play for Richmond and even offered to play for less than what he was offered at the Lions but wanted the 2 year deal that Brisbane had and we only gave him a 1 year deal.
Whilst the celebrations are a bit cringe worthy and need to be tamed down , I was never a fan of Higgins celebrations specially a new player just felt wierd and mr bow and arrow Duursma also looks stupid.
Big Games important goals when the game is iced - Go for it
Higgins celebrates like that when his club is 40 pints down in the last - Knob

That's what I'm really curious about too but expect we'll never find out now. Someone in the meeja dubbed the Bummers 'Richmond Lite' - might have been Healy. They are seeking to duplicate us even more than the failed Colonwood and Aints models.
Saw in the Tuesday Hun, one of their players saying that, "Pressure is their one-wood"! Sounds familiar.
So we'll see how good a duplicate they're building on Sat. night I guess.
As for Parker, I was impressed with some flashes of brilliance I noticed playing for the Aints. Sounds very much like a true RFC mid-season selection. Lot of upside if he can put his head down and get to work. (But still wonder if Durham was a pick with genuine potential too).
Here's his interview:

Agreed there's that but the interesting part is how he's blossomed in the midfield and on the wing. Would be a great inclusion to the midfield/fwd rotation with Dusty, Shai et al. Hardwick's magnets will surely get a workout with another utility.
What Would Richmond Do? is paying off for Melbourne.
- We were keen on Salem, they drafted him
- We gave Oliver a VFL game, they drafted him
- They saw the effectiveness of our small forwards, drafted Kozi
- They got Troy Chaplin and Choco Williams
Only if he wears a flat cap.
Yeah in his Donk Russell interview he gave a pretty flaky reason for Stk delisting. Anyway. Let's see what happens.
I agree the guy plays with some real exuberance, playing on etc we re lacking that from our robotic HF . There’s a role for this guy, the rest is up to him
I’ll balance that with why they got rid of nick hind , if he couldn’t slot into their side I’ll be ,,,,
a good mate of mine is a 3rd gen mad saint.
he reckons Parker didnt cope with Covid; lockdown and hubs.
reckons he has some real tricks and is a good pick up.
I expect those that published The Defects of Sydney Stack,
will sink the boots into Our M.P with a heap of *smile*, first chance they get too?
they'll be 'hearing' all sorts of things on the withered Grapevine of The Irrelevant.
