Rookie ruckman who was impressive in the NAB Challenge. Still lightly built and needing time to develop, his season was hampered by injury.

I think saying he was 'impressive' might be overstating it a bit.

More 'tall' and 'skinny'.

His form in the NAB Challenge was very promising, well worth developing.

Well, given that Spencer and Gawn have taken 6 years to become passable AFL players, King should be paying his way by about 2020.

Needs a long time to develop and mature based on what I've seen at Casey. Put in the cellar for another couple of years and see how the body develops.

King is a prime example of a project player. Only issue is we don't have enough capable players to be spending time on project players. I think list management will see how he progresses pre-season and at the VFL in 2015 before committing to further years to develop. We are in need of some ruckman given Jamar is on his last legs, Fitzy can't string 2 consistent games together and Spencer and Gawn appear to get injured often. King is at the right club if he is good enough.

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
