I wouldn't be using King as the benchmark for anything, the Tiges are going nowhere until he is moved on.

That's why King is the bench mark. Hard is a cats head, competitive, very good defensively but limited skill. If King's in the team ahead of you then you're not good enough to be in a top 4 side. If you get better than him then you are. Right now I'd prefer to use the spot for an extra midfielder but if we get a guy who can do King's role for our side it would help on our way back from a joke to a consistently competitive side.

Not with you on this one, can't afford to carry a one dimensional player like King. We have enough of our own to offload.

Complete Spud???

In his best year 2012 (22 games) he averaged 1.6 goals a game from and average of 13 disposals around 36.8 goals for the year (23 rounds), well above our best foward for last year and definately better than any of the existing small forward options mentioned. He made 83 tackles averaging 3.8 a game. Both of these stats are incidently higher than Jack Kings. He is definately not a spud and crumbing around our talls kicking 36 goals for a late draft pick in my opinion would be a good thing.

There is obviously a reason King is preferred at the Tiges but I back in Roos to make him the player we need and I recon he would be a great pick up for the Dees.

This is one instance where I wouldn't trust the stats. He peaked in 2012 no doubt, but look at his stats from last year. Couldn't get on the field and when he did he had no impact.

He's a fluffer.

Can't kick to save his life. Can't convert. One sided. One dimensional.

Spud.

Who now plays for North. :)

He's just been delisted by North.

Worth a punt on a 1 year minimum money deal?

I would rather re-draft Lucas Cook.

Why would we recruit someone that has failed at two clubs, for farks sake?

Mitch Clark?

No we don't want to draft Robin

A Grade VFL Player

The End.

I think calling him an A Grader in the two's is generous but I get the point.

He's done and from what I have heard a bit of a tool.

No, thanks. Garlett will do be fine for small forward. Kent will hopefully provide some nice back up.

Against us at Etihad marked at 25 metres in front - fluffed the pass to someone 5 metres out.

Too similar to Garlett.

Wouldn't say no to him though.

check out Gartlett's career stats and compare them to Nahas...not even close.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
