I like how we Mitch and Max our Kings.

Don't mind this pick. Must say i was a little surprise as i had him down for a rookie spot. But thats based on his lack of exposure. The games i saw this year i couldn't take my eye off Oliver (you be

Forget to add a little something. After the draft I sent an email to my close friend who works with the Murray Bushrangers under 18s development and I asked him about King and this is what I got..

Seems to have great hands based off the highlights. His disposal actually looks good 2nd time watching. I keep expecting him to shank it as his ball drop looks slowish. But he hits a target and makes good desicions. His marking was great and good hand ball skills.

I quite pleased we picked up some talls late.

Athletic Ruckman, former Basketballer. Another one we can work on for a few years. I do question his size given the number of 2m+ giants there are running around these days.

paddy ryder is only 196cm.

and i like the way he palms the ball, none of this drop it to the feet.

This is getting us ready maybe for season 2021.

Such maybe foresight.

I just wouldn't bother. I wish him all the best but so much investment for a maybe 6 years from now?

You've got 3 options for a ruckman I think.

1) Late pick and a list spot plus 5+ years development for a guy who could be anywhere from great to average

2) Trade a middle to late pick for a guy who probably isn't any good and unlikely to get better (a Giles or Curry)

3) Trade a good pick for either a good ruckman with runs on the board who might crash out after 3 or 4 years (a Jolly or Ryder) or a younger prospect who might only be ordinary anyway (Warnock).

I don't mind opiton 1. Yeah it takes a while but you've got 44 list spots for a sport of 22, there's room to use one every few years and you get to develop the guy from the ground up.

Mitch seems very raw and athletic, compared to Flynn anyway who we bid on and is 10kg heavier and more physical.

Really though it's hard to be disappointed when we've got someone in line so we can finally get rid of Spencer!

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
