Jake spoke very very well in Adelaide at the Pre game function....opened my eyes - have a lot of time for Jake as a person.
Jake King had skills either side of the body.
Brilliant judgement.
Could absorb punishment. And work in defence. Quick on the chase. Could teach fear.
Played tall and injured for his last three years for the club. Played #3 forward. At 5' 6" or 9".
An example to all young footballers. And a Richmond man.
Did we miss him in 2014?

I think Gordon can replace him, although I still think he lacks composure and fumbled a lot.
We miss Jake's cameos of 3 goals here and there.
I am nearly 6' tall (181cm) and Jake was taller than me when I saw him in Docklands having\walking to his coffee rendezvous. He was bigger than he appeared on the field.

He's listed as 178, so 3 cm's shorter, which isn't really that short, but when you're surrounded by guys bigger than that it looks that way. I remember someone asking Jake about if he was the shortest player at Richmond and his reply was along the lines of 'Nathan Foley says he's taller than me, but he's not.' and he was very adamant on that point.The_General said:
There's a whisper his goin to play a few games up here for the Glenrowan Tigers next year, they have a bit of $$$ so might be true.

The Chiang Mai Tiger family is sure going to miss him in 2015. The biggest cheers were always belted out for our Jakey.
Push Up will be on Open Mike this Tuesday night and looks like a bit of a fiery interview with Sheehan asking some Toby Mitchell questions.
I liked this photo he uploaded with a bit of sarcasm calling himself an 'ex-criminal' (as the dopey media love it)

Took Sheahan to the cleaners with his negative questions. He speaks really well (....I wonder if Jacko had a lot of input in Push Up's vocabulary)
"Perception is one thing, reality is another" 100% spot on Push Up. Sheahan (and Caro) seem fixated with this paranoia about guys with tattoos and label them 'bad boys'.

Must be a lot of 'bad girls' out there too TF , id think over the past decade there would neally be as many females getting a little art work done as there is malesTigerForce said:

Yep. I couldn't believe his dopey question at the end on Dusty being a bad boy / troublemaker. I loved hearing Jakey's tone of voice get higher when he answered.
Brilliant interview......
Was interesting to note that when Gerard Whatley was reminding us to stick around after 360 to watch Open Mike, he said that it was one of Sheahans favourite ones in the stable...
Truly think Mike was very pleasantly surprised at how well Jake conducted himself, and I think he'd be the first to admit that he perhaps wrongly allowed perception to cloud the facts and reality.
Well done Kingy.....

Thoroughly enjoyed it. So old school Melbourne. The way he talks, some of his expressions reminded me of 'colourful' Melbourne characters with hearts of (mostly) gold I worked with in the 80s and early 90s. A throwback, in a good way.
