Luke Parker Strike in the VFL

Sydney's Luke Parker ran past the ball and elbowed a Frankston player in the face, forcing him off the ground with a broken jaw. It was totally off the ball and not a football act. I disliked Parker how he mocked an Essendon player for being weak. But his actions were weak and now dislike him even more now.

    Googled "Luke Parker Frankston" and just saw the incident - a disgusting act. I hope they absolutely throw the book at him. Disgrace.

    Parker must have had it in for the frankston player for what ever reason. How can a guy do that when they are trying to get back into the seniors???? 6 weeks.

    Was a shepherd style bump on a bloke 5m behind the ball and Parker running opposite direction

    I suggest the damaging contact was back of head to cheek rather than elbow or arm. No excuse tho, he chose to spear a bloke that wasn't in play and not expecting it - Parker responsible for the consequences

    Grub act

    He was near stationary.
    Both feet planted.
    In this new world he might get a couple weeks cause the bloke was KO'd but the Karens calling for his head need to get a grip.
    Play on I say.

    Looks like a high shepard. However the ball was loose, so no excuse for him not to go for the ball. Plus he clearly got him high with severe impact.

    Minimum 4 weeks I'd reckon.  VFL and AFL have slightly different disciplinary systems so it's hard to line up this incident with similar ones at AFL level. 

    Dog act though.  Totally unnecessary

    • Demonland changed the title to Luke Parker Strike in the VFL

    Looked like a legit shepherd gone wrong except that none of his teammates had the footy.

    So not sure what he was attempting to do.

    To me it has the strong whiff of a frustrated player taking his anger out on an opportune target. Reminiscent of Alex Rance whacking a prostrate Jack Watts in the back of the head after being beaten in a marking contest a few years ago.

    I think that’s about right, but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more. Pretty ordinary act.

    Kozzie would have gotten 10 weeks plus 3000 articles about what a thug he is

     

    Parker? Hardly been mentioned

    Play on? 
    The player was hospitalised with facial fractures from all reports.

    It was totally unnecessary from Parker.

    Do they have a tribunal process in the VFL? 4 weeks is insufficient.

    lifted slightly to get him high. Shoulder breaking his jaw.

    This should end your season, doing this in late May.

    Yes, they do have a tribunal...I would think he will have to front it.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
