◉ WATCH

Parker posted 30 in the draw with Hawthorn, clearing his 20 BE but doing nothing to excite. Collingwood's backline is deep and his 29-season average is threadbare for a $149.5k defender. He's alive on paper but the cash gen rate is flatlining and job security is contested every week. Watch one more game before committing — there is no urgency here.
