Fantasy Impact

Luke Parker will add leadership and experience at Nth Melbourne.

He’ll likely play mostly forward but can run through a midfield role if required.

Parker’s fantasy scoring output in 2025 could be volatile based on his specific role each week, the supply into the forward line will be crucial to maintain a decent average.

The Kangaroos were ranked last in the AFL in 2024 averaging 45.3 inside 50’s per game.

Parker will be a watch over pre-season to identify what level of midfield usage could be achieved next season.
