WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - MITCHELL KING

He came third in the relative vertical jump and fifth in the absolute standing vertical jump at the combine.

With the limited run up for rucking contests now those two tests are the ones that count. Also valuable traits for contested marking too.

Not too shabby at all. Good points.

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..

Great kid. Missed first part of season after knee reco last year. Great reader of the game and an awesome knowledge of the game and loves to work hard and learn. Great get. Gave you the Oliver tip !!!!

Congratulations.

Maybe you can go to the hospital Mitch King's undergoing knee surgery at and tell this nugget to his face; it'll definitely help his recovery.

Yeah - Gawn has turned out to be such a disaster.  The gramps ruckman that has done two knees, that has turned in to a class ruckman, and happens right now to be the only fit ruckman on our list.  

Have another gold star.

Gawns one wrong turn away from retirement , Gawn Spencer King  all done acls 2 of those in the TAC the likelihood of you doing one again is pretty high if your knees pop before your 18, I'm with rpfc unusual pick  takes years to develop , though I hope he makes a full recovery .

    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,
