Greg Parke. No. 26? I think. Knockout mark, knuckle man and lousey kick. Just the same, he got his goals. Nabbed almost everything for a slow runner. Tough as nails. Great Demon.

Greg Parke a knuckle man??????

No....As you say,.he was an amazing mark, a wonky kick,and a top-class team player.

    Wrong terminology, sorry JC. Actually meant (but in too much of a hurry to do other things at the time) 'pack clearer' using his hips and shoulders to very good effect when needed. Controlled the forward zone like a professional policeman - which he was at the time. On the way to school, a mate and I used to knock his hat off from the tram as he directed traffic in the middle of Camberwell Junction intersection - that is, until he wore an elastic strap on it, hiding his usual smile.

    Please don't play Lever this week. He needs at least another game in the VFL, if not two, before being considered.

    Yep, he should be aiming for the Fremantle game.

    Jake Lever can’t take a trick. He won’t make any excuses. But he’s had an iffy ankle I’m told since Richmond game. Wouldn’t be major, but more post season surgery likely

    If that's true, and it's a big if, why the hell are we playing him??

    @binman might know.

    Oscar was labelled as an out for an ankle, yet Lever plays and apparently needs surgery. 

    Interesting..

    Lever looking better tonight.  Maybe needs footy into him. 

    Sure, but to what end?

    Take him off at half time and straight into surgery.

    Seriously, I hope he doesn't miss any preseason...

    Our player management is as good as our coaches and the way we are playing. 

    Its all PATHETIC. 

    I have never looked more forward to a seasons end as I have this season.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
