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.

Should develop into the new paradigm tall midfielder within 5 years

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 !!!!

I was really impressed by his highlight reel.

But his kicking was so much like pencil.

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 .

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
