I must admit I didn't believe that the club would give Luke Parker another 4 years, but I'm very happy with the decision. The club has rewarded a true and loyal champion who has put his body on the line and spilt blood time and time again for the Sydney Swans. Cant wait to get back to the SCG and see "Lukey" lead the team out in 2022. Cheers.Comment

That contract should see him become a member of our 300 game club, along with Goodes, Bolton, McVeigh, O'Loughlin and possibly Kennedy.Comment

My message was from the very shouty LUKEPARKER. Fantastic news, even if I worry about giving him 4 years.
SEN is reporting (Sam Edmund) that “Sydney is trying to re-sign Luke Parker, Dylan Stephens, Jordan Dawson, Sam Reid, Matthew Ling, Callum Sinclair, Hayden McLean, Ben Ronke and others." I'm surprised at several of those names

Oh, and by the way, in relation to the earlier Tom Morris story that Dawson was poised to leave which was in contrast to the even earlier Tom Morris story that Dawson was poised to stay.
The chief peddler of the 'Swans are stooging Parker with a two year deal worth four half pennies and a stale can of coke', was none other than Tom Morris.
Amongst the Melbourne media clan due to line up, stick their head in the toilet, and flush again and again and again, Tom needs to be at the front of the queue. And no toilet duck for him.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

And oh, Sam was also almost certain Hewitt would be heading to Carlton because contract talks hadn't taken place yet. He went to explain the reason for our tight cap is due to.Buddy $900k next year, Mills & Heeney contracts being heavily back ended to 2023/2022 respectively. He also.queried why we haven't extended McDonald's & Campbell's contracts as yet, when most of last year's top 10 picks have already done so. Thinks that might be another issue looming retaining our yoing guns due to our tight cap.Comment

I wonder if Luke getting something like the deal he had been seeking all along means that they have decided to allow someone else to go elsewhere thus enabling them to find the additional cap money? Another possibility is that someone else has re-negotiated their existing contract to free up some cap space for the next year or two?Comment

To me his constant insidious rumourmongering infers underlying motives. I ask myself what does he have to gain from all this scuttlebutt? Remember when he was crowing about Ben King definitely joining his brother at The Saints? This is not journalism. This is not news.
And what an annoying prat. The kind of guy you dread getting caught with at a party.
Over on the other side of the coin...... fantastic news re Luke. A Swans legend already. Though I never thought he'd be going anywhere else. He'd look daft in different clobber.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

I did hear Sam say words to the effect that, the problem this year is that when player managers ring up other clubs to make offers to players to push their deals with their current clubs up, they can't find any clubs willing to do that. It's that blatant that most of the talk about other clubs is a negotiating tactic.
I'd be amazed if we signed every player on the list: Stephens, Reid, Ling, Sinclair and Ronke (which notably omits Hewett). I presume there are some lowball offers being made right now.
Anyway, Parker done, onto Dawson.Comment

Maybe. I however consider the more likely situation was the club and player were much closer to agreeing then the media nonsense being bandied about (I don't for one second believe we only offered a 2 year deal), and that it was more just some final negotiations to agree between player and club, then such negotiations being overly reliant on the fate of other players.
I don't suspect that applies however for Dawson, Stephens and Hewett. Although I strongly suspect the club made the call quite a while ago that Hewett was going to be the unfortunate definitely out the door."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

i think from what I have seen Ling has the skills like Dawson did in his first few year in ressies etc
Dawson had to build the tank and defensive game and the extra time in a lower pressure env like Ressies and match sim helped tremendously
No doubt Ling maybe encountering a similar trajectory of development
Ling is extremely crafty and quick off the mark
I would keep him if he is up for the challenge at the right price"be tough, only when it gets tough"

Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months.

1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous.

b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
