Parker, from Frankston, was chosen by the Bears with the first pick of the 1992 Mid-Season Draft.

He didn't play a senior game that year and instead made his debut during the 1993 season, against Carlton at Princes Park.[2]

The following week he played again, this time a home fixture against North Melbourne and he had 11 disposals.[2]

His only other appearance for the Bears came in a 104-point loss to Fitzroy.[2]
