Team to meet the Saints.

Update on Dea's foot, anyone? Didn't know it was that bad. Hope the lad can get back and get some more games in the back half of the year.

So would I but I'd prefer Farmer to line up on him. We recruited Farmer for this type of job.

Agreed. Hasn't Milne torn King a new one before too? Could get ugly.

I'm not happy he's still in too RR. Hopefully he's gone next week along with a few others. I reckon the Saints will expose a few of our players for skills badly after last week's swap fest that took that totally out of the equation.

I know he's a favourite whipping boy of some supporters, but I think he really could become a Baker type tagger.

God some people love to support mediocrity. King will be lining up at Centrelink next year after he gets delisted, I'd bet anything on it.

9 players 180cm or under in this week's game going off a quick count. Still too small, especially since a lot of those players have poor skills. Dunno what they're trying to achieve given it's under the Ethiad roof. As I said before, hopefully this changes next week with a few likely inclusions. Some better structure with more size and skill needs to be developed.

King couldnt tag his own shadow...he has been exposed many times before by the Aints' forwards and they must certainly relish lining up on him. I am disappointed that he is still there. Whichever small forward he lines up on will have a day out as he is exposed once again as a player lacking skills

I didn't mean tag a small forward, you don't tag small forwards. He's quick enough and annoying enough to keep up with and frustrate midfielders.
I'm kinda hoping Hardwick has seen the same thing given he tagged Rodan and kept him to 8 disposals.
 
King has beaten most opponents he has played on since he started. Odds are he will be a valuable contributor again tomorrow.

In the words of the great Darryl Kerrigan "suffer in your jocks ya........."

What about that time Milne kicked 7 goals on him in 2008? Let's hope King doesn't play on him and he is out next week for Connors or someone with more skill and/or ability. I'd play Thursfield on him who can play small and tall and has done the job in the past IIRC.

Give me 20 more examples and I'll begin to consider your argument.

I'd rather not waste my time when no matter what I say it won't budge your opinion on King. I couldn't think of 20 examples either, would take a hell of a memory to do that. If he has a good game on someone tomorrow I will gladly praise him for him just like I praised White the other week who I don't rate. You have your opinion and I have mine and there's nothing wrong with that, in fact that's what make forums go round or it would be boring. ;)

IMO he's a battler who relies on aggression and is undisciplined giving away plenty of free kings. Also his disposal/decison making is not good enough in today's modern game. He is really scary coming out of defence however he was better as a defensive forward/mid but IMO we still have better options but he seems to be getting his last shot at the moment. I expect him to go at the end of the year and when these types of limited players aren't around and getting games we will be a better team for it.

Who'd a thought Kingy gets more frees than Gazza?
 
Right....

So he's only 3 disposals a game off being Gary Ablett. :hihi
