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.

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

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.

Can’t argue with any of that. The Game style needs a big adjustment..

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
