27 hitouts and 3 tackles, as well as a few contested possessions from King tonight.
Gave us first use, and competed and provided a really strong body in the ruck.
More importantly, kept his opponent Fraser quiet.
Nice for us to have a good performance from a ruckman in a final. It's been a while!
Steven King - sensational in the ruck tonight

Very few of the forward 50 entries by the Pies in general were at all effective.BigMart wrote:Fraser is a cheat......one on one King beat him.....in contested situations King was strong....
Fraser was like Dean Cox.......picking up cheap touches by cheating....running wide and fwd of the ball......how many of his entries into F50 were effective
The Pies actually made a lot more entries tonight than us on the stats sheet. But many of them were simply long bombs which resulted by uncontested marks by our blokes.
It just goes to show, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics....

Look, King will win the hit-outs most weeks and is a class tap-ruckman.
But he is still found wanting against mobile possesion-winning ruckman, and doesn't do much arounjd the ground. Having said that he is the best option and I'm happy to have him in the team with Kosi.
If Kosi plays next week, they will put Campbell and Taylor under the pump.

Wouldnt trade King for Cox any day of the week...mad saint guy wrote:I wish we had a ruckman who would cheat like that. I suppose there is a rule that all ruckmen must play at least 30m behind the ball at all times?BigMart wrote:Fraser was like Dean Cox.......picking up cheap touches by cheating....running wide and fwd of the ball
Fair dinkum, Cox is the most damaging ruckman to ever play the game. He does it all. Fraser is pretty good around the ground too. Hed get a run in our team every week without a doubt.
