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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
