Matthew Parker

[Tigers of Old]

I'd pick him tonight.
We need to keep edgy & a Parker debut against his former side would see the team fire up a little.
I also want to see what he brings before the pointy end of the season.

Yeah, get a feeling he,ll play. We don’t recruit ready to go mature agers like he and Pickett to just develop in the VFL, we get them to play AFL.

True, but a couple of weeks after they join us?

In front of other players we have been developing?

Bit more time I think but I reckon a debut before the end of the H&A is on the cards if he plays well in the VFL.

Given a debut wasn't announced, suggest he's playing VFL again this week. Won't be long, though.

The trick is to open the other eye.

When you worked at Poort Flopelaide Flopball Club, how did your workmates respond when you pointed out their team was full of flopping, cheap-shotting b1tches?

 

[spook]

Funnily enough it never came up, they were too busy whinging about how Richmond is the AFL's love child.

Didn't you point out how one-eyed they were?

Nice reply TBR!

 

[DavidSSS]

I think the trick is to open at least one eye, maybe the umpires need to be told this.

That's what I was expecting too.

The Ryan debut will have a similar effect I hope.

I reckon it's way too early for him.

Everybody seems to think Parker is the answer to a maidens prayer but forget he was delisted by the Saints and as their list wasn't exactly inspiring it doesn't say a lot for him. Sure he may have got his act together since and has a mature body but expecting to do a Picket in a quicker timeframe is pushing it. A couple more games at VFL and more Tigers training time then he may be ready

 

[Tigers of Old]

Hope he plays well today in the VFL. We need an injection of hungry players with something to prove.

Spot on. Stack too.

 

[zippadeee]

Peter Parker to the rescue
Now we scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

 

[Jason King]

I reckon it's way too early for him.

Quoted for temerity, hindsight and most importantly foresight.

 

[Mr Brightside]

tackling is our barometer

 

[Tigers of Old]

Didn't really show enough today to get promoted.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Surely he comes in this week. Otherwise why did we recruit him?

 

[Smoking Aces]

What was the point of picking him in the draft considering the injuries we have if we aren’t going to play him?
