No King, No Richmond :peep

On todays poor effort by some we missed Kings ability to play the defensive role in the forward line
 
Re: Jake King (Merged)

We missed king and foley big time today - 2 players who are prepared to put their heads over the ball and always seem to extract to our advantage.
 
Re: Jake King (Merged)

Could have used someone as "undisciplined, selfish and reckless..." as King yesterday. What a sham that forward line was, couldnt do anything once we got it inside 50.
 
Re: Jake King (Merged)

Amazing stat. Richmond have lost 17 of the past 18 matches Jake King has missed.

Unreal.
 
Re: Jake King (Merged)

If anyone wanted a real life example of how our forward line functions with King in and King out got it today in two strikingly contrasting halves of forward line play.

I hope the peanuts take notice.

Any news on how bad the knee is?

to be accurate our fwd line stopped working, along with the rest of the team before Kingy got injured.
but he was playing his best game for a while and was very much missed.

His disposal today was crap but his pressure was fantastic.
 
Re: Jake King (Merged)

When will people realise he is very good for our forward line. The odd errant kick perhaps but plenty of g&d which other don't possess and he buzzes around and creates other opportunities. I am sure the scrows were happy to see the back of him.

20 points up when he went off and had a hand in both second quarter goals.

10 goals with Kingy 3 without.
 
Re: Jake King (Merged)

king is one player we should replace next season, he applys good forward presuure, but does not kick anywhere near enough goals for a regular forward, also does not get enough of the ball, and is extremely undisaplined, he almost never plays a good game, we talk about forward presure he applys been his best part of his game, this is talk when a player clearly is not good enough, at collingwood this is a rule, not an acception, blind freddy can see this, or are we and the club that biast, that cannot see this, i know for a fact geelong dont rate him at all, because he rarely plays well enough

Plays a massive role for the team, enough said. That's why he is probably first picked each week when available.
As for what Geelong think of him, well you cares really. I'm sure they don't care what the tigers think of some of their players.

his injury cost us the game.

It certainly transformed our forward line, I think many people undersell his value to the team.
