How did we all rate Parker's first year as a Tiger?
-
Unpopular opinion, I thought he did quite well given he spent little time with the club before playing AFL with us. He has his deficits but he seemed to show what we had been lacking, a bit of a tough edge and a tackle that sticks. Missed some easy goals and targets but most of the team did. We just judge newbies harder. He did what was expected of him- he isn’t the answer to our problems but he showed us what the answer is.
-
I thought he first couple of games were good. After that I thought he dropped away.
Biggest concern I have is inability to nail set shots and the giving away undisciplined free kicks.
But having said that he came played thecrole they wanted him to play I gave him a six
-
6 from me.
Minimal time with the club, joined us after we had fallen off the cliff.
Can't question his effort. I'm interested to see what he serves up in 2022 after a full preseason and more time with the group + plan.

We can do better

We can do alot better from state leagues if his in our side for tuffness and pressure not good enough to many at the club like that.

I would have preferred if we took Schlenslog.
Should have retired Houli early IMO. Take Freeman too.
-
Has some great attributes for sure but disposal, decision making and goal kicking are a bit below average imo.

I agree Schenslog will go inside the first two rounds of the nd. H e has to be the best mature tall available and he is still only 20 21 yrs old. i reckon he has done very well at senior level in the WAFL both forward and back and he now looks ready to go straight away.

A very average selection in my opinion, offers nothing that we dont already have playing in the reserves.
Why we didnt pick Freeman or Schlensog is beyond me, got caught up in the past selection of Pickett

I would delist to open up another spot on our list.

Got caught up in listening to Pickett talk up his mate.... :shh

Pickett should get traded out. Neither are best 22 players. Just list cloggers.
