Re: David King, draft genius
As long as we watch, the advertisers keep coming and paying. That's what Gilligan and co. Care about. I don't recall any great insights being shared on league teams, but I watched that shyte every Thursday night after training as though my life depended on it.

Re: David King, draft genius
And who kicked to Fraser?
11 touches in the last Qtr... genius of a player!!
Every time I watch old highlights, he is the most influential player on the ground
Sir Robert was a freak
And for some reason, still underrated.

If so why would he hate St Kilda more than any other club.

Re: David King, draft genius
So from twitter there King is saying that we would have been better off getting only Jade Gresham for pick 5 instead of Gresham and Carlisle for pick 5 and 24?jaxons wrote:You need to see this as well amazing stuff with all the replies:
Doesn't that effectively mean we got Carlisle for pick 24 in that case?
He keeps saying stop re-writting the draft?
I didn't realise we traded pick 5 for Jake Carlisle in a straight swap so who is actually rewritting the draft here?
Hmmm....
When Harvey played his first game in 1988, I was a 12yo wearing short pants and struggling with my readin', writin' and 'rithmetic in grade eight. Now, I'm a father of three and a retired AFL player. And he's still going. Amazing! - Michael Voss

Re: David King, draft genius
What about "Little Aussie Jones"? What a wonderful player he was. Just about the best two sided kick I've ever seen in red, white and black. He was in that chain, wasn't he, BM? Imagine him in today's game. He'd kill 'em.BigMart wrote:And who kicked to Fraser?

He knows what the trade was; he's just trying to wind St. Kilda supporters up and it appears to be working.

I understand what you are saying but I cannot believe that someone could be so dense, brainless and pig-ignorant.
But happy to go with the majority on this.
David King, you're a dumb-arse!

Maybe he's worried that this statement will come back to bite him?

For whatever reason it sound like this is personal rather than just an opinion.

Re: David King, draft genius
I wish we could see his draft board for that day. Coulda shoulda wouldas is the superpower of captain hindsight. H
indsight is easy...well apparently not for King because to me hindsight says we got very good value in the trade.
