I would be happy with Parker, him and Trac swapping midfield to half forward all game long would be great and would also help negate the loss of Nibbler.

    Guess what!! It's not just Melbourne that has players leaving!


    Perhaps it is not the sign of an imploding club, after all.

    Can you imagine the implosions currently happening at Essendon and Carlton?

    They are media darlings tho, especially Carlton, so it’s radio silence from Tom Morris isn’t it?  🙄

    Different scenario. Parker is struggling to get a game.

    Getting Parker reeks of Hunter and Billings. All are past their prime, and their clubs were happy to get them off the books.

    Would suit North for leadership and experience.

    Parker is far superior player to Billings and Hunter and would help in the trenches with our lack of midfield depth.

    Our midfield need more support. Add a pick 6 midfield talent, hopefully James Peatling and a Luke Parker and all of a sudden our midfield has some potency in there.

    With Rivers going to a new level next year in the midfield, this finally gives us new added depth.

    Makes sense instead of going for Viney.

    If the trade/price is right i'd still take him even at that age.

    Would be a great pick up for a couple of years.  The bloods culture is the envy of the league and getting some of this intel would be invaluable.

    I reckon the Swans have let him know he is not in their plans

    Old now and lost whatever pace he had. No way you play him and viney in the same team

    Parker will be 32 before the season starts. He's achieved pretty much everything as a Swans player, so I question his motivation for leaving.

    We have 3 older mids in Trac, Viney and Oliver. We don't need a 32yo with a recent injury history on our list.

    I don’t think it would be a great idea. He is obviously on the outer, up North

    Too old for our needs. We need young fast players who can hit the scoreboard

    I think he'd play a role in the first team, even if not every week. Worst case - adds a mature-body to casey midfield which theyve been devoid of all season.

    We need pace and skill in the midfield not another 32 year old that will set the club back again, we built a midfield on contested football contest to contest but that style has moved on, he would be OK if we had a young midfield but we havent Trac will play more forward next year than midfield, Viney, Oliver, Sparrow and to an extent Rivers are not highly skilled under pressure.

    If he is superfluous to the Swans needs, what role is he going to play?

    We already have experience in the Midfield 

    He should look at North

    Rate him highly but right now I wouldn’t have thought that’s a fit with what we need

    Parker is one million times better than Billings & Hunter put together

    You play him as mainly a forward and pinch hit mid.  Go and watch his last qtr on Friday against the Pies

    Played very well forward on the weekend, and provides mu h needed grunt when moved into the middle. Wouldn't be against it at all

    Parker’s struggling to get a game because Sydney’s midfield is stacked. 

    I’m not convinced he’s the best option out there but he’s so much better than Billings and Hunter that the comparison is silly.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
