That is a great insight, thanks for sharingrimau35 said:Unbeknown to me at the time, Jake stood up to the selfish players at Richmond early in 2014 and told them to pull their heads in.
He then told the coach to cut the crap and get back to TEAM footy.
It took half a season for some of that to sink in and look at what happened. Finals, again.
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: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.
Dyer'ere said: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 heard a rumour he may play for Lalor with his brother Jarod.CC TIGER 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.
TigerForce said: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)

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: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 about guys with tattoos and label them 'bad boys'.
