Back when Big Macs were Big Macs, and Maccas was actually half decent.

When did that happen??

 

[bigwow]

I was thinking of Richard Murrie, but he wore 33. Jayden Post wore 37 I think.

There was the Winton brothers as well, Brian & Geoff, and Tom Crebbin.

Ron Thornton wore 37 in his only year at the club 1986.

To get back on topic, this kid could be a real ace up our sleeve for the rest of the year. His highlights package shows that he is very skilful, explosive pace and can take a big mark. Get some consistency into his game and he could prove to be a great pickup, fingers crossed. Can't wait for the VFL to start up again.

Dimma certainly has liked what he's seen so far.

do you know if his played at back half footy aa? looks the classic forward type to me at this point , has some attributes to sweep of half back like you say

Will play before September they will want to have a look at him as he might have a point of difference to him come the pointy end.

Was drafted with a role in mind obviously.

 

[gutfull]

Will defiantly play some games...

So even he isn't selected, he'll still run onto the ground, you reckon?

Pace, XFactor, good overhead, good tackler and can kick a goal. Get him in.

End the Parker farce. Get him in FFS

Surely needs to replace Caddy

I'd be happy to gamble on debuting Parker, sight unseen, against his 'Ex' the Saints replacing Caddy. Could either add pace to the wing or liven up our forward line.

Same here, on last night's showing.
Just aware that if he struglled, for the next week all we'd see on here would be:

"His *smile*, why did we draft him"
"Another midget who can't kick"
"send him back to, WA or St Kilda"

Usually from the same people who are championing him this week.

A fair bit of expectation on a bloke who couldn’t make it at St.Kilda and hasn’t played a game for us. I hope he gets a go and does well but think we need to temper the expectations. He’s not gonna make the difference between us being the ordinary side we are right now and getting back to our best.
