Am I the only one who has noticed that every time my boy Luke Parks plays we win? He is the talisman!
But seriously what a pick up off the rookie draft this kid is looking like. He already shown in 3 games that he is a very capable intercept mark who backs himself to beat his opponent 1:1 in the air, he has good poise and disposal [went at 100% DE yesterday] and attacks the contest in way I haven't seen in a Carlton backman since Andy McKay and Peter Dean. And he can really close down hard on his opponent - just ask Tippa or Jack Luckosius.
I am certain that Jones and Weiters play better when he is out there because we are a much better balanced unit.
Give the lad another couple of years in the gym and he could be an absolute star.
Will be interested in where and when Nic Newman will come back in. The only like for like is Plow - Stocker is playing the tough small speedy lockdown role, and Saad and Doc are the rebounders. Maybe Plow up to the wing to replace Newnes??
