What I want to know is, where are the coaches? He has all these apparent obvious issues that we and TV commentators can easily point out, why can't (or aren't) the coaches? Why aren't they telling him to lead more and stop wrestling? Why aren't they telling him to be more active? Why aren't they te...

No comparison to Roo at the same stage of his career. None at all. Definitely not.... 2001Nick waltzes into Harvard - Gehrig, Everitt, Loewe, Hall...with Hamill, Hayes, Harvey, Milne in the mid and small forwards....SUPPORT. ALL DAY EVERY GAME...for years. King crawls into Frankston TAFE and he's g...

Abuse now - just a sign of desperation- I really should report you! Bookmark it all you want I never once said he cannot ever be good - my assessment was of his game just gone! He could end up being the second coming of Jesus Doesn’t change the fact he was flogged by Aidan Corr and in a game with a...

I do t mind criticism….ehen it’s at least marginally balanced !
Just **** way off some turnips
Anyhoo in RTB we trust

And he’d played in 2 premierships And he’s probably is the highest GA key forward in history In his sixth season - Kings current season Hawkins kicked 62 But remember It’s not all about goals- it’s about effort - which was deplorable - a liability he was called!!! You can accept insipid- me, nope, ...

From BF ..thank **** for some perspective

I find the King hate extraordinary. Tom Hawkins in his first 5 seasons played 79 games and kicked 107 goals. King has played 76 games in 5 seasons and kicked 147 goals.

None at all.

Correct

Lots of valid points on king here . However having watched the replay , In the first quarter the heat was on , both teams were flat out . After that the intensity dropped and we mostly had the game on our terms . A 10 goal victory was there for the taking only our delivery of the ball into the forw...

Did Scollop say something Unintelligent again?
Never mind…it’s foe time and loving it!!!

Turns 24 shortly so he should be in his prime but he has so many flaws. I can handle games where he is beaten by good defenders & doesnt kick many goals. It’s the lack of forward pressure/inferred pressure that he provides when he doesn’t have the ball. Allergic to even attempt to chase or tack...

Haha Never played AFL - obviously Did play in three state leagues (albeit reserves in one of those) Mate, I am actually a cricketer, who played footy in the winter for fitness and to get some pocket money. I did play the game for 27 years though, wish I didn’t as my body is now fkd. Not that me pla...

Howard gave one free kick to Larkey Pushed him fair square in the middle of the back (when he actually didn’t have too!) I’ll tell you what If you are playing to get free kicks - give it away Never waited for an ump to get me the footy. Preferred to win it myself. You, if you ever played (doubtful)...

Whinge whinge whinge He got one charity free He is 8cm taller than Corr and was out pointed BTW - I was at the game His body language was pathetic- he fkn sooked!!! His effort was deplorable- did not work hard at any point! As I said - so easy to defend - even Aidan Corr (a D Grade defender) made h...

Here’s another arm chair….have a read


It was very evident at the game. I thought he could have had a handful of shots on goal through free kicks. Some of the umpires non calls last night were the worst I’ve seen, does holding the ball still exist?

2-3 times he was on the ground
Mauled
Umps did squat
Does he need to get on his bike? Yup
But if you weren’t there…you’d have missed that entirely

How did you rate Kings effort? Not game, but his effort He was flogged by Aiden Corr who is the subject of ridicule by North Supporters King was unacceptable - By the way - King is turning 24, he’s been in the system 6 seasons! He is fkn in his prime Cameron is a veteran. And would run rings around...

It was an amusing exchange.

Amusing?

Was one of our best against Collingwood then was ridiculously suspended. Came back was good then injured.

He like most forwards needs to find timing and form.

You’re spot on Curly
Hate to be in the trenches when the going gets tough with this lot….

Work out which one is which

Tom Hawkins took years to come on - was dropped to two’s multiple times
Sone embarrassing stuff in this thread ….

"Looks like Tarzan but playes like Jane" is appropriate for Max King. In the past 2 games he's played there have been at least 2 occasions when he was positioned to take a set shot from the 50m arc - on each occasion he betrayed his cronic lack of confidence by instead of kicking for goal...

I love foe buttons

Otiman wrote: ↑Sun 05 May 2024 7:17pm Needs a run further up the ground, he is better running back than he is as deepest forward. That's what Caminiti is for.

I agree
He’s also very clever through his field kicking/marking often sets us up
I’d free him up IF knee allows..
