A bit of extra interest will be M Blake vs King in the ruck.
King was given the heave ho...and he knows it.
A recent interview with King had him stating that The cats had offered him a one year deal for next year, but within a week it disappeared.
And of course from Blake's point of view Blake missed being ina winning GF because of King.
So one cost the other a GF medallion.
The other cost him his club....
So this could make for an interesting ruck contest when they face off
. i'd love to have the verbal battle to go with it 
Unless King and Gards decide to whack Blake in the chest I can't see that happening. While they are an improvement on our recent ruck stocks, the guys simply can not get more than 30cm off the ground.LENNY LEADS THE WAY wrote:As much as Blake improved last year expect King and Gardy to smash young Blake i have a felling blake may wake up with very sore ribs the morning after the game
at this stage of blake's career i still believe kingy is the better playermad saint guy wrote:Unless King and Gards decide to whack Blake in the chest I can't see that happening.

Now that 's what you call a self centered baby! A bit like you.

If not the Matchups will be:
King vs Blake
Gardiner vs West
Gardiner should be able to beat West who is only young.
We shouldn't be getting ahead of ourselves yet, even without Ablett and Chapman (who is more of a forward) they still have a solid midfield... Bartel, Corey, Ling, Kelly and Prismall are far from weak...saint edward wrote:LTN16 wrote:Is Ottens playing this week ?

im predicting the cats will go in with blake and west and then the sainst ruckman can tap down to our midfielders and with chappy and ablett out we will have great run out of the middle. expect us to dominate the centre clearences.

After round 22 last year King's body was shot and he hadn't play consistent footy in some time.plugger66 wrote:After round 22 last Blake was way ahead of King but one game and a change of clubs seems to make King into the next Simon Madden.
