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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
