I think it is a ‘watch this space’ in the trade period with Ben King! Richo could have some influence here...

Dees Should dangle 12 & 14 (if we acquire from GWS) and a player(s) in return for King and a 2nd round pick they will receive for Martin or Achee.

I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up, but...

"Rub on all surfaces for a perfect clean" - White King.

Ben King was someone I rated extremely high last year. He's perfect prototype forward in the same vein as Tom Lynch.  202cm tall who has played 12 games this year for 13 goals as an 18 year old.

The romance of playing alongside his brother would be nice but I also don't see why Ben would want to go to the Saints. It would be near on impossible to develop 2 baby giraffes in the same forward line and Ben would probably end up down back again as he was in their junior careers.

If the AFL do the right thing and refuse the priority pick we then have a way for the Suns to get the 2 guys they want in the draft.

In fact given the AFL's love of a negotiated outcome I'd go to them and say we'll put pick 2 on the table for Ben King (maybe part of a bigger deal) so the Suns can get the 2 best mates with the top 2 picks. That's what I'd be doing if I were Josh Mahoney - assuming the club rates King higher than the pick 3 we might be in line to get.

have thought the exact same thing re: him playing for the Saints.

Sorry, I'm missing something. Why would Richo be of help when Ben King plays for GCS?

Because Alan Richardson spent 8 months with his brother Max..

Duh....

Also because Max did his rehab at St Kilda before being drafted. I believe Ben spent time there helping him as well as doing his own weight training.

If we can wait a couple of years, his younger brother Wayne is playing for the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup and by all reports will be a gun KPF.

Well if we maintain our current ladder position, we are probably a big chance to get him.

Well, we know if we make the finals next season, we’ll land him with pick 2 in 2021.

Wayne, Gary and James are the best players I have ever seen.

Nathan was good, but not as good as the others and will always be the bridesmaids.

Pretty sure no one called Wayne was born after the mid 1970's.

Why don't we trade pick 3/player to GCS for King/2nd, and then let them to the pick splitting with GWS. Might save us some man hours to do other stuff lol

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
