Luke Parker has become just the 10th player in Swans history to record 150 wins for the club.
He reached the milestone in his 244th game last Saturday night as the Sydney Swans accounted for Essendon by 58 points at the SCG. Parker joins Daryn Cresswell in equal 13th position on the club’s all-time games list.
At 29 years 201 days, Parker was the second-youngest Swan to 150 wins and the fifth quickest.
Only Josh Kennedy, 22 days short of his 27th birthday, was younger, while only 1909-18 premiership player Vic Belcher (221 games), Heath Grundy (236), Kieren Jack (238) and Kennedy (242) were quicker.
Parker was quicker than Jarrad McVeigh (245 games), Ryan O’Keefe (260), Michael O’Loughlin (261), Jude Bolton (278) and Adam Goodes (278).
Goodes leads the club in all-time wins at 216 from McVeigh (203), Bolton (184), O’Loughlin (171), Kennedy (170), O’Keefe (164), Grundy (160), Jack (159), Belcher (151) and Parker (150).
Goodes, a dual Brownlow Medallist, sits 12th on the AFL’s all-time wins list headed by Michael Tuck (302) from Shaun Burgoyne (263), Kevin Bartlett (260), Joel Selwood (245), Bruce Doull (238), Brent Harvey (235), Dustin Fletcher (234), Leigh Matthews, Craig Bradley, Corey Enright and Gordon Coventry (220).
Saturday night’s game was Parker’s 98th at the SCG. This puts him level with Jared Crouch, one behind Kieren Jack and two away from becoming the 14th player to play 100 games at the SCG.
Goodes (143) holds the SCG record from O’Loughlin (136), Bolton (128), Mark Bayes (125), Cresswell (123), McVeigh (122), Paul Kelly (116), Andrew Dunkley (115), Kennedy (109), Leo Barry (103), Stuart Maxfield (102), O’Keefe (102) and Dennis Carroll (100).
