That’s what happens when you get kicked in the face. I was 100 metres from that and boy was the sound sickening

    I remember that when it happened there was an odd hush on the MCG at the time, the sound of it was absolutely awful. I could not believe King got off scott free, it was reckless, stupid, and clearly dangerous. Meanwhile Brent Moloney got 2 weeks in the same year for “potential impact” on Bartel but didn’t actually touch him.

    Geelong ruckman. Steven King.  

    Not to be confused with the author - different kind of horror.

    It was a sickening hit. Sounded awful when that boot hit and I just remembered gasping and hoping Jeff was ok.

    I’ll always hate Bomber Thompson for joking about it in his press conference after the match. Something along the lines of head shouldn’t have been there, he head butted Kings foot etc. [censored] waste of skin that bloke. He’s probably face down in a ditch now after his ice addiction.

    I say this with all the love I can muster - dig a hole and f@cking bury him!

    You can hear the thud of boot on jaw contact in this video of the incident:

    Karma has caught up to Thompson the past few years.

    He definitely wasn’t joking in the press conference the following week when nick davis had just ran riot and kicked them out of the finals ! Magical Geelong capitulation

    How true! Still occurring, possibly always will until the AFL become transparently responsible.

    Me too, was almost as high as you can get in the stands but still heard it clear as day.

    As a few have mentioned, you could hear the sound from the crowd and it was sickening.

    Bomber said something along the lines of 'King could've broken his leg' which was just so out of touch given the seriousness of the injury. Would love to see the actual quote, I've looked for it but haven't found it.

    I always remember when Thompson was on 360. Absolutely off his box, and nothing was ever said or done. 
     

    His Port Melbourne wharehouse was fascinating 

    Got off….

    shocking privelaged human

    I think the class of Bomber as a human has been on display for all to see.

    At least there is some comfort that he, Bomber, has to wake up being him every day.

    Listening to tv commentary on the video it’s truely cringeworthy, even for back then

    Was that the day when Jeff White's jaw could've broken King's leg according to Mark Thompson?

    I remember that too - he was 'on' something that day...

    Sorry did Jeff get hit? Or is this from when he got kicked in the face?

    All we know is what is included by Jeff White in the photo in the OP. Given the #kinghit hashtag, I think we can assume it is from the Stephen King kick.

    It actually raises a question in my mind about the kicking in danger rule. I don't know how the rule is worded but it seems to me a free kick (pardon the pun) is only paid if the kick actually makes contact with an opposition player. I would have thought a free kick should be played whenever there is a risk of such contact rather than only when contact is made.

    I actually thought it waa paid on contact and also if there was a chance of making contact.

    Thus at the umps disgression if it seemed contact could have been made its in danger.

    Dont quote me.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
