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.
