    Swans haven't issued a media release re press conference.

        I don't think Parker is worth pick 11 at this stage of his career.

        Sounds like a bigfooty exclusive.

        Does Jesse get traded as well?

        I'll wait for the press conference except no mention of it on twitter or anywhere else.

            Parker got a Swans logo tattooed on him just a week or so ago - surely he won't have agreed to a trade so soon after that

              They'll paint black over it. Sort of long neck mutant crow.

                    We have a lot of players like Parker at the moment. I love him as a player but we need room for Lamb and Mitchell to get a chance. Parker for Tippett is a truly fair trade. We won't be happy and neither will the Crows fans.

                      We don't need to "make room" for anyone. If they're good enough, they'll earn their place, if not, they keep fighting for a senior spot in the ressies. Simple.

                        Lamb is not really like Parker imo, and certainly not a like-to-like comparison at this stage in terms of development. Parker and Mitchell are the obvious replacements for Bolton and ROK going forward.

                        I hate this notion of a 'fair trade' - granted we are a club that generally has tried to do the right thing to other clubs, but surely when you can get a player for under what his 'fair' market value is, then surely you should do so. That's like saying, I go into a shop offering a product that is usually worth $200, but its on special for $30, but because I'm 'fair' I give them '$120'. No matter your morals, the footy club is a business, and every trade should be about getting the best we can for as little as possible. And if that ruffles a few feathers so be it, this was never going to be a clean trade anyway.

                          Are you stupid? So you want to make "room" for Lamb and Mitchell, yet give up one of our best young midfielders and in the long term will be one of our best 22. Clean hands, tough, good composure..but you want him to leave to make room for 2 players who haven't played one senior game yet?

                              Tippett?

                              Neither Lamb nor Mitchell have played senior football and your trading Parker to make room for them. ? ROK and Jude won't be around forever
