If you look at Austin Bradkte Instagram account he seems to be pretty good mates with the Kings. 

Means nothing, they went to school together.

 

Ben King and his Manager have said he will stay with GC in 2020.

His manager Paul Connors has come out today on trade radio and said that Ben wont be seeking a trade this year at all.

Looks like we all agree. See post before yours 2 weeks ago.

GC should make a massive play (with the AFL's help) on getting Max King rather than the other way around with respect to St Kilda trying to poach Ben.

People are moaning about how bad this club has become but are not offering up any solutions on how to fix it. 

Getting Max up there with a generous salary package (possibly outside the cap) would be a start

Gil, will open his safe and say here boys how much do you want, whilst the Saints will get some draft pick as a cherry on top.

My preference is for them to fold, the talent pool is spread to thin. However, if they must remain, the players they already have need incentives to stay. It’s clear already that priority picks and 18 year old draftees won’t be the answer, they’ll just leave after their initial two year contract if they’re any good. 

The incentives don’t have to last forever, just until they can build a winning culture and players want to stay. So potentially 150 years or so.

150 years seems fair to me.?

Maybe they are the Tassie Devils in waiting.

Yep, surely there can’t be 19 teams and a Tassie team will happen sooner than later. The Tasmanian Suns sort of doesn’t work. 

Luckily our name being ‘Melbourne’ should save us from heading their with them, North or St Kilda to merge with the Suns and head to Tassie? (So we’re not off track here, Ben King will go to Tassie as well...)

He won't seek a trade, but if we can satisfy the Suns with pick 3...

If Kings that good trade Petracca for him and keep our early pick.

Keep Petracca. Has more x factor and power than Gus or Viney. They're the ones you trade, but not for King. For other mids that can compliment Oliver, Harmes and Petracca. So good users by foot and those with a bit of gut-running and pace about them.

I know the Suns wouldn't want to lose him but surely for them having picks 1,2 and 3 is a very mouth watering prospect?

Give us King and she's all yours.

Pick 3 and Billy stretch and maybe a future 3rd  for king and 3rd round this year.

He wants to go to saint's, to play with his brother.

Sadly we have to go elsewhere.

Why exactly would the Suns want pick 3 to draft an inferior player to Ben King? There's not a lot of logic there. They'll get a good pick or picks for him next year if he wants to leave, in the meantime they can improve a fair bit next year and try to convince him to stay.

Seeing him sprint by Frosty in the GF sprint (with some quick players behind as well) shows he's a heck of a prospect and both he and Max could've gone picks 1 + 2 in a draft most years. From what I've Ben would easily go pick 3 in the draft this year, might even go pick 2.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
