Matthew Parker

[Smoking Aces]

I would prefer we get Stack in the team.

 

[Mr Brightside]

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.

Agree , I think we are building nicley , however he may just be the tweak we need , no doubt he’ll be hungrier then a Garbo stuck in the KFC drive thru behind some moron who doesn’t no the colonels menu

Agree, he is the tweak we need and last night's loss has made me binge for some tenders and chips.

*smile* we are scrapping the bottom of the barrel calling this bloke to come into our best 22.
Dow, Cd, Ralphsmith are all ahead in the que

 

[jb03]

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.

Not sure he is a midget. He'd certainly be hungrier than Rioli.

 

[TigerMasochist]

Blokes barely done any training with us as yet, never mind even playing a ressies game or two. Just to get a feel for the way we play n structure up of course n people want to throw him straight into the seniors FFS. Way to cruel any chance the bloke has of reigniting his career.
Parker may well turn out to be a very handy player for us coming into the tail end of the season, but please just let him get his feet under him n a handful of warm up games first.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

Any details from yesterday's scrimmage match or has @caesar been asleep at the wheel?

Ch7 singled his game out but that could have been because he was the only 'story' among those who played.

 

[bigwow]

Just paraphrasing some of the reactions we typically see.

 

[angle ankle]

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

.not sure mrb..no mention of at sth freo or amateurs before that
.but at 188/80 quick, good kick, mark & a bit of mong...why not test the adage 'a good fwd can go back easier than a back going fwd"
.both short & houli unable to contribute in the air...a major issue with our backline
.balmy gave him a wrap in scratch intra club last weekend
.very interested in vfl this sunday

 

[Baloo]

Not sure any of us can make a case for his inclusion until caesar gives his next training report.

@Baloo, with the boys back in Melbourne and with restrictions easing hopefully that is soon

 

[King Kong]

Gets a chance to press his claims on Sunday v Willy. Hopefully he makes the most of it. We need his run and pace on a wing

The other possibility to go back is Stack.

Stack and CCJ in the same forward line? Not sure that would work. They'd find themselves out of position, get into trouble and get caught too often.

 

[AngryAnt]

Stack still has a long way to go in the VFL before he gets another game.

was tracking well before covid hit again. stack needs continuity and unfortunately seems to be the type that loses form and fitness quickly if he's not playing. will be interesting to see how he goes in the next vfl game.

Yeah, interruptions to the VFL program haven't helped him.

Yeah, but I said back. As in backline.

Not that long.

Yep. Be great to see him run out there with streamers, balloons and waving sparkles.

 

[TigerForce]

Just watch his games on video to see how lively this bloke is. He is gonna sh!t opposition supporters a lot because of his antics.
