Luke Parker has ably stepped in as Sydney’s dangerous small forward covering for Tom Papley, who has been out with a significant ankle injury since round 19.
To that stage, Papley had been one of the Swans’ leading goalkickers with 30.
Parker was missing until round 18 because of a broken arm in the pre-season and then a six-game suspension in the VFL.

A snap at the seven-minute mark of the second quarter by Parker gave him three for the match and made it four times in his seven games back that he had kicked two goals or more, including three in the previous game against Essendon.
Papley hopes to be back for the finals along with injured wingman Justin McInerney, who is recovering from a knee strain.
Swans 84, Crows 40 with three mins to go in Q2.
