If we recruited Parker we are nearing rock bottom.

    I don't think Hunter will be getting an extension.. 

    Yes he’s absolutely done at the MFC. They might even leave him stranded on 199 games.

    Versus Collingwood, Parker had an AFL Player rating of 20.1 (14th in the AFL for the Round) and scored 109 SuperCoach Points (41st in the AFL for the Round). He is still playing very good football.

    I think Parker and Taylor Walker are the two obvious veterans that would make us better and not cost a lot in terms of salary cap (and no draft capital).

    He'd be filling Melk's role pretty much.  Who do we prefer?

    Have always loved him, he’s an absolute mongrel but definitely in the decline. That said he’s been a big contributor to tonight’s result.  

    Can’t remember which exact game but I remember he & Viney playing on each other and thinking it could end up a fight to the death 😂

    Never thought much of him, ‘til this…

     

     

    And now he’s my hero 😅

    Billings yes. Hunter no.

    Hunter’s been a disaster this year but last year he was a good contributor to the side (particularly in the first half of the year) to the point that he was missed vs Freo due to suspension.

    The value we’d get out of 2025 Parker would be equivalent to 2023 Hunter IMO.

    I'll preface this by saying that I'm related to Luke Parker. That said, you've got to be kidding BBP. Hunter is vastly inferior to Luke by any measure you care to make. Most importantly, he has that will to win that very few have.

    tell him we'd all love to see him trade the red and white for the red and the blue in 2025

    Wouldn’t mind him at the right price, tough around the contest, can play the mid fwd rotation and impact the scoreboard

    He can, but he will be 32 in October, just saying.

    A big YES from me adds grunt, mongrel and on last outing, playing excellent footy!

    Parker is vastly superior to the likes of Hunter, McAdam and Billings. He's one of the few aging players I'd be interested in. Personally, I also think he's in that rare ilk of players who can, to steal a corporate catch cry, drive culture and develop those around him. 

    I would take Parker in a second. He'd also definitely improve our forward / midfield mix immensely, at least in the short-term.

    Even without knowing him, I get the sense he’d be a vastly superior teacher/leader for Kolt/Sparrow/Chin etc 

    When the whips get cracking, you know he’d be up for it

    Yes, which is why I mentioned at the right price. Keep the first pick for a young mid and get a couple of solid seasons out of Parker. A few older bigger bodies Viney, Oliver and Parker rotating through the middle along with some of the younger brigade is good going forward IMO

    That's cool that you're related to Luke Parker. I was thoroughly impressed by him last week, and he looks like he's got a few miles left in the tank. Would be worth a look for 2025, but clearly he'll stay at Sydney if the Swans still want him.

    I still maintain that Hunter was a good player for us in 2023 and served a need for us on the wing. When he was suspended for the Freo loss, we genuinely missed him. He also did some unnoticed 1% ers in the Carlton semi that stacked up in the finals heat.

    The 2024 Hunter has been a complete bust, and he's clearly not in the same stratosphere as Parker when comparing the two right now..

    He's the perfect fit for North. They need seasoned, old heads on their midfield.

    Except IMV and probably many, we can offer a better look at success in the short term than North.

    I doubt they'll play a final while Parker is still on the parker.

    We are going to need to add some more leadership and tough bodies around the midfield. We are desperately thin at VFL level. It’s a yes from me.

    Of course we can, but imo they can offer him best 22 for 3 years. Us maybe 1 or 2. Plus I reckon they'll offer more $.

    He's already played in a premiership. Might take the view 'been there, done that ✅️'

    But who the f knows 🤷‍♂️

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
