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: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
