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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
