Yeah, if he stays, does a full pre-season, he'll be a handy bloke to have around next year.

He has a crack, has some skills (kicking a bit sloppy though), plays with endeavour.
Should play for the rest of the season and then we'll see if he makes it to pre-season.

Just needs class around him. He had sloppy seconds around him today. Not worth risking Edwards or Lambo anymore.
The more Shai plays the more his trade value goes down.
One of our four quarter players today and is doing well presumably after a WAFL pre season not an AFL one.
Sure he did OK today but no sure he has the answers to our questions long term. A sort of Ricky Pettard
Showed a bit and moved well. Needs the rough edges chiselled off and to feel like he belongs at the level.
Giving more to the team than half of the other boys out there at the moment. Fair effort from him.
Plays a bit selfish when he has the ball in hand but is not used to our team first system.
His defensive game is right up there but is weak in the one on one marking contests and whinges to the umps when he loses.
I hope he is offered another year to see if he shed the rough edges and embrace the team ethos because there is plenty of positives to work with.

Firming as a role player, consider his worth relative to Macca George or aarts . Personally I reckon Macca has had a poor year , too many piecing i50 straight to a defenders chest , crucial goals missed v WC and coll . So far Parker has impressed in that role, seems to accumulate ball a little easier than Macca or Pickett who have both platued on 13-14p his entries i50 good, 420m gained tells me he doesn’t *smile* around , he could Improve by holding his marks , once he cools his jets with some experience that’ll sort itself out
List management means you need output from lower paid players to get results , MP ticks that box

Can't question his commitment , but seems like the type of player we would have recruited/traded for in 2013.
ATM he's got shock value. He's on players much sooner than they expect. He and Rioli are giving us the hustle we've been sadly lacking all year. He's definitely keeping his spot for now.
A running player.

dou mean pace height aggression & tackling arent an issue?
weve got plenty that ry it - theyre just 5'10" medium paced & brushed off
& his kicking is not atrocious...ifit was elite he wouldnt have been traded
