he will be put through the Richmond Man catchup program
so wonder if that will calm the OTT celebrations ?
and
raise his potential ceiling ??

My Saints mates liked him when he played for them. They think he's exactly what they're missing now & are not really sure why he fell out of favour.

dunno anything about him but if he gets the clubs and Marlions seal of approval he gets mine.
he looks pretty tough, that's good.
 
Any goss on whether Parker was our primary target or we intended to take Sam Durham?
 
Played well on Saturday. 26 and 4 snags.

Walking distance to the ground.

Lock him in for a debut Saturday night :rotfl2:rotfl2:rotfl2

I'd imagine given there was noise about Durham and Freeman, but nothing about Parker, we had some very good manipulation of leaks in our favour.

That would be my thoughts as well. We know how Dildo likes to take our targets so just leaked a few names knowing he'd jump and we'd get Parker

Parker was just interviewed on Dwaynes' World, will post when podcast is up.

Spoke a lot about doing the hard yards away from club after being delisted from St Kilda, letting his footy doing the talking and looking forward to working hard at the Tige's.

I reckon we might be on a winner.

Parker would provide ballistic running, pressure and tackling, our small forwards have dropped off in this dept, only need to go back to 2017 when they were relentless in their chasing and tackling.

Yep.

Essendon so want to be us that they have taken our coaches, replicating our game plan and are targeting similar player types. No doubt they would have taken Parker if our interest was made public.

I like the cut of his jib

Does anyone know what position Parker played in his matches this year?

If he played as a forward the stats are good.

If his celebrations are natural and not put on just annoy his opponents, why would you try to curb that? I dare say his exuberant celebrations flows through to his tackling and crashing bodies.
