LUKE Parker's reputation and standing in the competition will continue to grow as his career evolves, according to coach John Longmire. 

Parker kicked five goals and had 31 possessions in the Swans' 43-point win over Geelong at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night in his best game for the club.

The Swans took Parker with pick 40 in the 2010 NAB AFL draft, and he's since played in a premiership, won a best and fairest and is a genuine star of the competition at just 22 years of age.

In typical Longmire fashion, the coach kept his thoughts on Parker relatively low key.

"It was a pretty good game. I know that might be a bit of an understatement, but it was one of the real quality games of football I've seen from a young kid," Longmire said.

"His intensity and hit around the contest, his tackles, his fierceness at the ball just oozes out of him, and he was able to finish his work off as well by kicking goals. 

"He's turned out to be a beauty. Ultimately he's a competitor, so if you're going to err in the draft it's good to err on the competitive side.

"His will is enormous, he just makes himself become a good player, and wills himself in the contest. 

"I think he's always going to be on an upward swing anyway because he's that sort of player, he's never satisfied with what he's previously done, he's always trying to get better every minute of the week."

Geelong coach Chris Scott had a simple take on Parker's status in the game.

"He's a gun. Do you need more?" Scott said.

Parker's teammate Tom Mitchell looks to have cemented his spot in the Swans' side with another hard working performance.

Mitchell didn't break into the line-up until round five but in his three games since, has been a prolific ball winner.

He finished with three goals and 33 touches against the Cats but Longmire said there's more to Mitchell's form than just numbers. 

"We look at the game and touches and goals are one thing, but there's a whole heap of things that go into the analysis of a game," Longmire said. 

"His pressure and intensity, I thought he ran the game out pretty strongly, so the longer the game went, he and a few others got better which was really good." 

While Parker and Mitchell racked up the touches, Longmire was equally pleased with Ben McGlynn's job to limit the impact of Geelong skipper Joel Selwood. 

McGlynn kept Selwood to two first-quarter possessions with the star Cat finishing the game with just 19.

"It was really important for us, obviously we know how good a player Joel Selwood is. We've got enormous respect for him. You can't contain him for the full game but in patches we were able to do it," Longmire said.
