A case for King playing is they have a very young inexperienced ruckman that Kingy and Gardiner can monster at the hitouts.
However, McEvoy could have been a good matchup to young Roughead and match him for mobility around the ground.
This would how I would love to see them line up to try something different with our set up, match up their small forwards, create run and carry from half back flanks and adds some marking power, skill and defensive pressure to our forward line:
Backs - Steven Baker / Zac Dawson / Sam Fisher (on Johnson)
Half backs - James Gwilt / Jason Blake / Farren Ray
Centreline - Nick Dal Santo / Clint Jones / Jarryn Geary
Half forwards - Sam Gilbert / Brendon Goddard / Adam Schneider
Forwards - Andrew McQualter / Justin Koschitzke / Stephen Milne
Followers - Steven King (vs Hudson) / Lenny Hayes / Leigh Montagna
Interchange - Raphael Clarke (option for half back flank match ups and rotations) / Jack Steven (rotate with Geary and dal Santo) / David Armitage (rotate with Hayes and Montagna) and Michael Gardiner (vs Roughhead)

He must earn a hitout.
Was beaten in that department by Minson when the doggies dropped Minson to the VFL.
Unless he comes into the team as a specialist marking forward he is a long way off.
He certainly isn't anywhere near being a ruckman yet.

Someone had to pay the price for last week's poor performance.
Unfortunately it is the players who are easily replaced who get punished.
Those who really let the team down like Kosi, but are not easily replaced, get let off the hook.

Mini plays a different role than a true forward, he sits on the 50 or just outside and cuts off the opposition kicks out of defense. he sets up play and is almost like a tagger to the oppositions usual link man. He is a really competitive player and makes it really hard for the opp. to clear the backline.
He is a really hard one to replace because he is physically hard at the contest and able to hurt the other team with long accurate kicks to a tall or kick goals himself.

All very true. Burt his 2010 form has been down.
Accuracy wise he kicked 22.7 last year vs 2.3 this year.
Mini has not been bad, but he has been hesitating more and has not looked as clean as last year.
His tackling is comparable to last year as is average disposal though.
So to me he is find the ball as much, is still putting on good pressure, but is just not using the ball as well as last year.
Flying the World in comfort thanks to FF Points....
From memory was a pretty good forward pocket who loved a specky.
