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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
