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.

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

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.

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.

Waybe King? Get your hand off it mate.

I heard Richard Head was the player to watch.

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

Apparently very strong in the forearms.

The innuendo is great everyone but I hope there's some actual news soon.

Have you heard anything @Chook in Perth?

I thought that was his Chinese cousin, Wang ?

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.

 

A Saints mate is absolutely certain, that Ben King will join his brother at the Saints in 2021.

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

Wayne Rooney is the only one I can think of

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

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
