Both Kings?

[rodgerfox]

Hypothetical time...

Anyone Else think we could / should trade in to get either pick 3 or 5 in order to get both Kings?

I'm no ITK by any stretch, but I read somewhere we were going for one of them with pick 4.

To be honest, this surprised me given our midfield is so flimsy.

However if we're getting one of them, why not go balls deep and get both!?

That'd be a great way to rebuild a club. Not just a team - but a club. Assuming they're any good of course!


So hypothetically, how would we get pick 3 from Gold Coast, or pick 5 from Brisbane?


We wouldn't need Bruce or McCartin if we went for them both, so that'd be a start.

There's talk around that GCS will take both Kings with selections 2 & 3. If Walsh is taken no 1 that leaves Lukosius at 4. Much better outcome don't you think?

Mega-tank, I like it… we'd also get the next 4 number 1 draft picks… unfortunately most of our current talent will probably ask for trades on top of the player we lose for pick 5.

Not going to happen. We are desperate for a mid fielder with pace which neither King brother is. In saying that if GCS take both Kings I will be spewing if we don't take Lukosious. I know he is not a mid either but if he is a Roo clone then 12 will look great on his back

Never say never with this club, they're likely to do anything with pick 4.

We'd probably end up with Don King and Bernard King

I don’t know much about this draft, but surely we take the best midfielder we can and not another tall.

Though this is the club that took Paddy at number 1...

I think we went hell for leather in trying get mids during the trade period because we're looking to recruit Max King - he's been doing his rehab for an ACL at the club and seems to be very highly rated at the club, and rightfully so. Seen him play a couple of Haileybury games and he is the real deal - would love to get both Kings but can't see how we can.

All the highlights I have seen of the King leads me to believe that will frustrate the living hell out of me and I am worried about how good they really are. Currently they are a foot taller than the opponents so they win a lot more ball than they will in AFL and make the look so much better than what they really are. Remind you of another one of our high draft picks? And their accuracy or lack there of in front of goal. I just cant do another season of kicking twice as many behinds as goals.
Not saying Max doesn't have skills but Rankin or Smith over him in a heart beat

Can we PLEASE just draft the best midfielder available at that pick. We need quality mids, badly!

Part of the club’s justification for drafting Paddy was the alleged ratio of quality mids to talls available and how we’ll have plenty of chances to pick up a star mid when ready.

If it’s that simple, why is Jack Steven STILL our best midfielder?

No...thats just what they'd be expecting us to do.....

Hits Rock Bottom - Welp
Me: Oh well things can't get much worse
Rock Bottom's Older Brother: Is this the guy that hit you???
Me: O.F.F.S.

If we draft one King the other will likely come later once his first contract is up at whatever club that drafts him - so no need to draft both now

FTFY

If we draft one King theY will likely GO later once his first contract is up AS WE WILL NOT DEVELOP HIM OR GIVE HIM A CHANCE AT THE SUCCESS HE CRAVES.
