Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
the injured King bother, Max, on Future Stars this morning.
Surely not unless we land some big name mids, otherwise our first pick should be used on the best mid available.
But if true there would be a few talls on our list who will be very nervous leading up to the draft;
Bruce
McCartin *
Longer
Hickey
Marshall *
Battle *
Pierce *
* - Are the ones I’d keep

Re: Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
If we take another tall and don’t replenish mid quality we’re mad
Unless King is Buddy Franklin I’m just not sure we can take the risk can we ?

Don't know a lot about King but I asked for some feedback on him last week & what I heard wasn't overly positive & no I'm not Richo

He had us at pick 3 but that’s likely to change.

Re: Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
From memory I think his top 5 were
1 Walsh
2 Rankine
3 Lokosius
4 M King
5 Smith
I’m hoping GC take both King boys with their first 2 picks.

Re: Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
Would you take Max King with an absolute guarantee that his brother Ben would ask for a trade to us at the first opportunity?

Re: Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
It would not be a bad thing especially if the club are counting on a big on-baller trade

Gold Coast will take Lokosius unless Adelaide offer them up something huge. By huge I mean their first pick plus a Crouch brother.

Re: Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
You’re probably right, but someone suggested in the media that they may be tempted to take the King brothers to avoid the go home factor by having them both there.BenLong#21 wrote: ↑Sun 23 Sep 2018 4:20pmGold Coast will take Lokosius unless Adelaide offer them up something huge.

Would be great if we could draft the egg before it split.

Re: Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
Rankine a must if available at our pick. Will be interesting to see what GC do with Lynch and May leaving.

Re: Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
May is the interesting one. If the AFL allow GC to terminate his contract to give them 2,3 & 4 then the AFL is corrupt. Another power house in Collingwood get another very good player for nothing. Just like richmond with Lynch.older saint wrote: ↑Sun 23 Sep 2018 5:55pm Rankine a must if available at our pick. Will be interesting to see what GC do with Lynch and May leaving.
Top 4 and grand finalist should be exempt from free agents unless they are loosing a player of similar value.

Re: Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
I'll cry if we take another KP player with our first.
Max king is listed as having a poor work ethic, poor endurance and a poor kick for goal![🤢](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f922.svg)

Re: Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
Most of the key position players taken in first round of the draft have been very underwhelming over the last 20 years.
For every Riewoldt and Buddy there are about 10 Mitch thorp or Lucas cooks.

Re: Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
For mine, I’m only ok with it if we trade out Paddy or Bruce for a pick that gets us a good mid... or a good mid.
Of the two I’d prefer to keep Bruce

Re: Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
King was doing his rehab with us wasn't he? So safe to say if we pick him, we have done more than enough due diligence.

Re: Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
So pick the bloke just cos he lives locally and we 'know' him and his family?

Re: Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
Max King would’ve gone pick 1 if he didn’t do his knee. His injury comes with a risk & as a club we’ve been quite risk adverse. I’m happy to to a punt on the kid, could be anything & the injury may be a blessing in disguise giving us the opportunity to pick him which would not have been there if not for the injury. Simple strategy: pick best avail & if that’s King so be it. Don’t pick for needs like we did with Paddy when he clearly wasn’t best available.

Re: Callum Twoney predicts will take .........
Sorry bro but Hugg Goddard was also touted as a #1 prospect too.
We should be investigated for tanking if we take a key forward this year with pick 4.
