Twin Towers? King and Brown?

[shanegrambeau]

Riewoldt and Lynch are talls who each have a pocket ....

Could we do that with Ben Brown and Max King?

I know Brown looks awkward with his Dennis Lillie run up and bouncing hair, but think about it for a moment.

Twin towers, plus Butler, Lonie and co.

King got smacked pillar to post this year, and will next.

Imagine having a diversion like Ben Brown.

We shouldn’t get too wrapped up in Max (Jesus) King I suspect....

[The_Dud]

Who does he come in for though?

[older saint]

Brown plays on train tracks, Strong mark and good kick but has the turning circle of the Queen Mary. When the ball hits the ground pressure drops and we cant have that

[shanegrambeau]

Yes..

But he has kicked a ton of goals over the last few seasons.

Like Darling and Kennedy, could give opposition coaches a headache.

So forward six would look like....

Membrey Butler On one line

King Lonie Brown On another line

Rotate and mix the lines plus

Add a more defensive forward

Which makes six

[shanegrambeau]

Or sub Lonie for Gresh

[saintbob]

I’d prefer Mihocek, more versatile and a better pack mark than Brown.

Mihochek for me as well
I like his Port Melb Gary Ayers heritage
thats if we cant convince DeGoey of course - has he found a manager / new contract yet?

[Ghost Like]

Give me Tom McDonald, can play back, can play wing, can play forward. Just can't play the #1 banana. Forget Brown, be wary of players that played their best footy against the Saints pre 2020.
Forget McKernan, unless happy to be a rookie & pick Ben King, and all his belongings, up from the airport at the end of next season.

[Impatient Sainter]

In 2022 it will be Ben & Max King.

[Joffa Burns]

In 2022 it will be Ben & Max King.

And Brad & Matt Crouch feeding them

Not a chance. Stop making stuff up.

[shanegrambeau]

Well, it seems like a big ‘thumbs down’ for the Ben Brown idea.

I suppose you saw these stories...

But there must have been something terribly wrong at North for this The relationship to unravel.

I just thought it would lessen the pressure on Max and a good decoy for the opposition. Ben King, Albert King and BB King are not coming anytime soon, so...just a thought.

[seano1]

What about jesse hogan maybe our coach could square his head up and get back his early form

In this scenario, where does Marshall fit in?...prefer the Marshall/ King/ Membrey set up with Battle as a chop out when Ro goes into the ruck.
Gresham, Higgins, Billings rotate forward and mid, with Butler the permanent small forward...sounds ok to me!!

Yes, it sounds sensible but...

Yes, Ro played less ruck this year
But...he is still needed on the ball, perhaps more so in ‘21 and onwards?

And if you were an opposition coaching team..
..and you had to match up with...

Members Brown Butler
Gresham King Higgins

you’d have some weight (and height!) on your mind.

I’ve heard it said (fair dinkum commentary) ..
..that King is more a CHF .

Just a thought..

Marshall could of course roll in..as all teams seem to have a 15 man forward line too.

Notice how Carlisle has to run all the way down to intercept behind kick ins sometimes?

[johnearljames]

Brown signing with Melbourne.

[skeptic]

I don’t reckon we need another tall forward...

What we need is a another back to ensure that Battle is more a utility forward

King, Marshall, Battle + Members looks good enough to me... epspeically if King elevates his game even a little

[shanegrambeau]

Brown signing with Melbourne.

OK..done then.

And I confess...embarrassed,....that I am banging in about height, but I didn’t realize that Marshall is actually taller than Brown. And I am banging on about height!

Brown seems taller than Marshall.

I thought Marshall would be about a 196er! He’s 201 or 202 depending on your source!!

Sauce on me.

Oh well, there goes that idea! lol

We don’t need him. Polly Waffle! Looks like...

Tend to agree plus I think the blue print has two Kings in our future so the above looks good.

This is why Tom McDonald would be a good fit at the Saints, effectively gives us two Battles and a lot of flexibility.

Brown signing with Melbourne.

Not surprised.

Crouch, Higgins and a tall utility will see us done and dusted this year.

Pretty much what will happen but there could be a late surprise. Probably 3 x players heading out the door for draft picks too.

I would think so...

Feels like that would be a very good outcome even if not as spectacular as the trade period 12 months ago

Will be interesting to see who the utility is...
We do need some ruck and back depth
