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.

Ben King said he staying at the gc, so nothing to see here.

Next?

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
