2 positives from Shanghai Sunday

King should not play while Cho is in charge. Being continually smashed while the ball is repeatedly bombed in long on top of his head will only spell disaster.

What garbage Dud. Put your Richo bias aside for a second. If we aren't getting into the finals this year then King needs senior game time to help with season 2020. Same as some other kids.

I think putting a 18/19 year old bean pole into our forward line to cop the same smashing Bruce and Membrey take every week is crazy.

His brother is holding his own at the Suns.

It's an interesting debate.

Play the young guy, or hold him back.

Pros:
Fans get excited.
He gets exposure to senior footy.
He might actually have an impact.

Cons:
He's physically not ready.
The way we enter F50, he'd get eaten alive.
Who would he replace? Selection integrity and all. Is 3 goals enough?


In my opinion, I don't agree with Richo's apparent philosophy regarding the use of key forwards. The 'bomb it in and let the big forward crash the pack and palm it to the front of the pack' strategy is flawed, and won't suit King. It doesn't suit Bruce, didn't suit McCartin and i reckon could really damage a skinny kid like King.

I'd keep him in the 2's personally.

He's not coached by Richo though.
