Twin Towers? King and Brown?
Riewoldt and Lynch are talls who each have a pocket ....
Could we do that with Ben Brown and Max King?
I know Brown looks awkward with his Dennis Lillie run up and bouncing hair, but think about it for a moment.
Twin towers, plus Butler, Lonie and co.
King got smacked pillar to post this year, and will next.
Imagine having a diversion like Ben Brown.
We shouldn’t get too wrapped up in Max (Jesus) King I suspect....

Who does he come in for though?
All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.

Re: Twin Towers? King and Brown?
Brown plays on train tracks, Strong mark and good kick but has the turning circle of the Queen Mary. When the ball hits the ground pressure drops and we cant have that

Re: Twin Towers? King and Brown?
Yes..
But he has kicked a ton of goals over the last few seasons.
Like Darling and Kennedy, could give opposition coaches a headache.
So forward six would look like....
Membrey Butler On one line
King Lonie Brown On another line
Rotate and mix the lines plus
Add a more defensive forward
Which makes six

Re: Twin Towers? King and Brown?
Give me Tom McDonald, can play back, can play wing, can play forward. Just can't play the #1 banana. Forget Brown, be wary of players that played their best footy against the Saints pre 2020.
Forget McKernan, unless happy to be a rookie & pick Ben King, and all his belongings, up from the airport at the end of next season.

Not a chance. Stop making stuff up.

Re: Twin Towers? King and Brown?
Well, it seems like a big ‘thumbs down’ for the Ben Brown idea.
I suppose you saw these stories...
https://wwos.nine.com.au/afl/shane-craw ... 8903afa8aa
And
https://www.zerohanger.com/victorian-su ... afl-63173/
But there must have been something terribly wrong at North for this The relationship to unravel.
I just thought it would lessen the pressure on Max and a good decoy for the opposition. Ben King, Albert King and BB King are not coming anytime soon, so...just a thought.

Re: Twin Towers? King and Brown?
In this scenario, where does Marshall fit in?...prefer the Marshall/ King/ Membrey set up with Battle as a chop out when Ro goes into the ruck.shanegrambeau wrote: ↑Mon 26 Oct 2020 10:45am Riewoldt and Lynch are talls who each have a pocket ....

Gresham, Higgins, Billings rotate forward and mid, with Butler the permanent small forward...sounds ok to me!!

Yes, Ro played less ruck this year
But...he is still needed on the ball, perhaps more so in ‘21 and onwards?
And if you were an opposition coaching team..
..and you had to match up with...
Members Brown Butler
Gresham King Higgins
you’d have some weight (and height!) on your mind.
I’ve heard it said (fair dinkum commentary) ..
..that King is more a CHF .
Just a thought..
Marshall could of course roll in..as all teams seem to have a 15 man forward line too.
Notice how Carlisle has to run all the way down to intercept behind kick ins sometimes?

Re: Twin Towers? King and Brown?
I don’t reckon we need another tall forward...
What we need is a another back to ensure that Battle is more a utility forward
King, Marshall, Battle + Members looks good enough to me... epspeically if King elevates his game even a little

Re: Twin Towers? King and Brown?
OK..done then.
And I confess...embarrassed,....that I am banging in about height, but I didn’t realize that Marshall is actually taller than Brown. And I am banging on about height!
Brown seems taller than Marshall.
I thought Marshall would be about a 196er! He’s 201 or 202 depending on your source!!
Sauce on me.
Oh well, there goes that idea! lol
We don’t need him. Polly Waffle! Looks like...

Re: Twin Towers? King and Brown?
Tend to agree plus I think the blue print has two Kings in our future so the above looks good.
This is why Tom McDonald would be a good fit at the Saints, effectively gives us two Battles and a lot of flexibility.

Re: Twin Towers? King and Brown?
Not surprised.
Crouch, Higgins and a tall utility will see us done and dusted this year.

Re: Twin Towers? King and Brown?
Pretty much what will happen but there could be a late surprise. Probably 3 x players heading out the door for draft picks too.

Re: Twin Towers? King and Brown?
I would think so...
Feels like that would be a very good outcome even if not as spectacular as the trade period 12 months ago
Will be interesting to see who the utility is...
We do need some ruck and back depth
