KING BROS.
Ben King looked good in the first half, but like the rest of his team faded badly in the second.
I can’t remember, but why exactly was Max seen as an obvious pick before Ben, especially after tearing his ACL?

Re: KING BROS.
He's a better footballer and touted as a no 1 pick before he did his knee. Ben was rated a top 10 pick.

Re: KING BROS.
All the press I read seemed to suggest Max was the standout over his brother as a key FWD...Ben had been moved down back during the draft season and performed very well. I guess the question is, was there room for two 2m FWD's in the one team?

Re: KING BROS.
I’m sure the Dud would have been questioning why we took Riewoldt over Polak back in 2000.

Re: KING BROS.
I was asking why Max was considered better than his brother, not questioning the choice.

Stick to whinging about non-existent umpiring conspiracies.

Ben will be a welcome addition when he comes out of contract.

Re: KING BROS.
The real reason for the question, as it is posed by The Dud, is to find a chink in Max's armour so he can criticize somebody (or everybody) in the club.
My advice, just don't go there!

Poor dud starts a thread trying to get people to back his anti St Kilda rant but gets doughnuts. Now he’s back peddling.

Re: KING BROS.
After your Ralph Wiggum inspired “Your a umpire” it now makes sense why you couldn’t understand the opening straight forward question...
Please Curls, tell us again how Dunstan throwing King to ground when he doesn’t have the ball isn’t a free kick

Re: KING BROS.
I think it was due to Max being the better forward and Ben playing down back, Ben only went forward after Max did his knee.
Just like Chris Scott was better than Brad Scott by a fair margin (or was that the other way around?)

Re: KING BROS.
Well if Max is a fair bit better than Ben I’m looking forward to him playing as Ben looks a pretty exciting prospect to me ![👍](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f44d.svg)
