In the late 60s my Dad got a 35 mm Praktika. Took it to MCG one day and peeled off a few shots of Greg Parke marking. 
Slowly digitising the slide transparencies and will post them here when I get around to it. 
Kodachrome colour too, as mostly monochrome from those days.

    I will look forward to that. I remember him very well as an outstandingly strong mark and an absolutely shocking kick.

    Greg Parke's FIRST game v Collingwood is on YouTube, he takes some big overhead marks and they say he is going yo be a good player.

    I just posted the You Tube vision of the 1975 SANFL Grand Final on the Norwood Connection thread. Ross Dillon was playing for the Redlegs in his familiar # 24.

    That YouTube of Greg Parke - amazingly, he kicked some good goals from set shots. Generally, that was what let him down and stopped him being an all-time champion.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
