With a propensity to conjure audible gasps for his aerial feats, forward Matthew Parker quickly became a crowd favourite in his debut season. The West Australian native averaged a tick under a goal per game and 11 touches. Parker’s competition for selection increased during the off season, with a lot of forward options traded in or returning from injury. Enjoy his highlight reel, but he is not useful for fantasy.

Matthew Parker was playing amateur football only two seasons ago and now shapes as a potential round 1 starter, though as a small forward he has never been a big ball winner at lower levels.
Parker should be monitored during preseason but is unlikely to be a fantasy option.
