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: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
