    What a difference a fully fit Parker makes.

    I thought he was just about back to his best yesterday

    With Jude out, he is absolutely vital, he aways seems to get his kick or handball away.

    It certainly takes a bit of pressure off Kennedy, and allows Jack to play more outside.

    And will allow Jude to ease back in and play a bit forward....If 'easing' is at all possible for Jude.
    Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

    Yep couldn't agree more he is very vital and the last couple of weeks he was still short but yesterday he showed he is coming back to his best but lets not be sucked in by yesterday the next two weeks will tell the story

    I'm amazed how dirty he gets on himself publicly when he makes a mistake.
    Smacking his fist into his palm. Good to see.

    Played well yesterday, not sure if he is back to his best, but he is sure getting close for such a a young fellow.

    Who Scott? Jude or Luke? Ooh, two "u" names. An omen? I'll grab anything. If the kid can learn from Benjamin Button (another U) for another year then it is will be another transition of smoothness.

    I notice that Hannebery and Bird similarly berate themselves after mistakes.

    And watching Luke in the huddle while Longmire was giving it to the team, he reminded me of Jude. Nodding his head and muttering to himself. The "Bloods" ethos is alive and well in him.

    Would love to see Luke go head to head on Sam Mitchell, the player he says he wanted to emulate in an interview a few weeks ago. I would think Luke would like it too.

    I have seen Dan do it a few times, but not Birdy.

    Good to see they judge themselves harshly.

    Bird did it yesterday, Scott. Can't remember which quarter, but he shook his head and made a slapping motion after a (forgiveable) mistake.

    My favourite player.. I LOVE YOU PARKS! i loved when he missed that mark and he did a fistpump to himself because he stuffed it up. He will definetly get the best out of himself, and hes going to be the underrated one out of our midfield.

    Parks is just waiting for someone like Mitchell to show him little respect, and tear him a new one

    Imagine how we'd go if we had both Jude and Luke out! Like Nick, a vital cog in a well-oiled machine.
