Richmond has selected Matthew Parker from South Fremantle with pick No.10 in tonight's AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft.

Parker comes to the Tigers following a best-on-ground performance for the Bulldogs last weekend, finishing with four goals from 26 possessions, nine marks, six inside-50s and three tackles against West Coast's reserves side in the WAFL.

A fortnight earlier, the 25-year-old kicked two goals representing Western Australia in a state game against South Australia at Adelaide Oval.

Parker played 19 games for St Kilda between 2019 and 2020 after being selected with pick No. 49 in the 2018 AFL National Draft.

Averaging 20.4 per game. Aggressive player who can slot on the HFF straight up.

Didn't see him mentioned in any pre draft chats. Again we have to trust our recruitment team as they have the runs on the board in the last few years.
