Won the GF sprint, just edging Frosty.

Only saw the heat but Frost looked stuffed, Ben King looked like he hadn't broken out of stride. Was a lock for the gf sprint victory after seeing that.

    Steven May traded in pick for Hoges was Ben King, number 6 in last years draft  + KK who got a 3 yr deal and will most likely be a bust due to ongoing concussion issues....

    Dees need to nail their picks.  Not just try to poach players.  

    Totally agree... I think we have been poor as a club trading top end picks. We don’t seem to get that right.

    However, Pick 3 needs to be on the table to get Ben King this season. I would be prepared to move on one or two players as well and free some salary cap.

    Ben King will be the best KPF for the next 10 years!

    His brother might give it a nudge.

    I think Ben will be the better of the two... Just my opinion.

    However, both will be great players over the next 10-15 seasons! I think playing at different clubs is best for there careers.

    It all depends on what happens, re- priority picks with GC this year.

    If they get given pick 2, then i'd be all for going after Ben King with pick #3. If we end up with pick 2, then i'd go after Anderson and try and figure out how to bring in 2 Meter Peter with our future first rounder next year and possibly our 2nd rounder this year.

    Either way, we need to bring in a quality KPF as well as a quality mid in the next 2 years. Both King & Wright are over 200cms, so could provide a ruck chop out in future, whilst playing the majority of time in the FWD line.

    As for quality mids, bring in any that we can get our hands on. I think we are well set for smalls and KPD's. Mids, KPF and good small forwards are first on our list of needs.

    Really DD !!

    Well off for smalls  ?? You must be the only Dees supporter of over 1/4 of a million that says we are well off for smalls.

    Glad they haven't got you in the room at the draft and FD meetings!

    This thread is a waste of time and space and is fantasy driven.

    Nowhere is there any shred of evidence that the King from GC will be up at the Dees

    its just fanciful snd a waste of space.

    Elliot is a sure thing in comparison to this drivel

    Here we go the bloke wins a GF sprint and he becomes a superstar!  

    Give me a spell 

    Really? Has anyone remotely mentioned the word "superstar" next to Ben Kings name?

    A quick small (like Elliott) -- King -- Hannan

    Fristch -- McDonald -- Melksham

    That is a much more potent forwardline, particularly with Petracca, Vandenberg and Harmes rotating in and out. 

    Even if we by some chance get Elliott, I'd be recruiting another two zippy smalls. To be honest, they usually come out of WA or even SA/NT.

    It also relegates Weideman to third fiddle, but I could see us playing three talls against certain opponents.

    And for those implying King's recruitment is linked to the GF sprint, take a look at this thread - most of it prior to the Grand Final sprint. Ridiculous.

    No. His manager said he wasn't seeking a trade. There's a difference.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
