King is the real deal. A focused individual who really stood out tonight not only as the best player for the Tigers but BOG overall.

Time for me to take out my knife & fork and eat the filth I have said about him in the past.

My wife gave birth to a baby boy last thursday- another tiger for life, so I went out and bought him a vintage tiges jumper so he had something appropriate to wear to his christening.

I had #46 put on the back, cause Jake personifies the tigers of old, and wears the yellow and black with such pride and passion.Great game tonight Mr 110%.

The flying bull ant was magnificent tonight.
Very apt description. Enjoyed kingy's game. Can cope with the odd clanger when the 1%ers keep piling up as they do with this bloke.

Kingy's quickly becoming one of my fave Tiger players. :clap :clap

If all our players played with his passion & determination we would make top 4 this year.

He is like a meerkat. His head constantly on a swivel, looking around, trying to find a gap to shoot through.

Just the perfect modern day back pocket. Runs and creates non stop. The ball hits the deck and he mops up. Plays well beyond a 20 game footballer. Has mongrel factor.

Not a bad player this King dude.

Yeah, guts and determination, mongrel, toghness etc. blah blah... we know all that. But IMO his main attributes that make him a great player and great prospect are his extremely clean and quick hands in close, his evasiveness (he's impossible to tackle), speed, balance, and his composure and awareness in tight.

If I were Terry he would be in our starting on-ball brigade.

Wouldn't hurt to have a look at him in the middle sometime. The little rat seems to have all the required tools.
