enjoyed some of his games, he had a crack. thanks and good luck Matt.

Never the most gifted of players but wore our guernsey with pride and was a good clubman. Hope his post RFC future is good wherever it takes him

Sam Durham ?,

Massimo wasnt on our VFL list last year

Correct. And Durham got picked up by Essendon before our pick so no choice there either

 

[Dont Argue]

Nope. We had the Italian boy at the club at the same time we decided to draft Parker. Bombers got him this year

Incorrect

Had a soft spot for Parker. Was a bit scrappy but went hard at it. I Is a wingman and it was always going to be hard to oust KMac and Pickett.

Poor selection in mid 2021 when our footy brains trust were still in denial about Stand Rule impact on the game overall, and in particularly Richmond.
Despite plenty of evidence from R3 Swan game onwards that a premium was back on foot skills, we went again on a top up player with poor foot skills but good pressure.
Unfortunately was never going to work for us, which of course is Richmond's bad, and no reflection on Matt Parker.

You could see it as a poor selection. But look who went after him. He was one of the better picks in that mid season draft (behind Newcombe etc who went before him).

Problem with that draft was lack of VFL being played and no U19 games. It was a fair dinkum dart board. Our bloke tried his guts out and had a few good games and for that we should thank him
