Or play him in the middle - where he's proven to be a good ball winner as well as a good defensive player - and move Parker forward (more, maybe not entirely). Parker's had a couple of very good games this year but hasn't been consistent, which makes me wonder if he's carrying some injury that's affecting his ability to get to as many contests as we need our midfielders to get to.
It was very obvious watching at the ground against the Hawks just how little run the Swans had in their legs. There were far more Hawks at every contest, and when they won the ball, they spread more effectively too. Maybe it was just the cumulative effect of two six days breaks against a much fresher team, but I think there were signs of a lack of run during parts of the St Kilda and Carlton games too.
