Serial salary cap cheats who should have had a Premiership stripped off them to the drug cheating which the media try to whitewash as a supplements scandal. If Ben King ends up at Essendon I will spew.
What they did was the worst think possible they should have been deregister as a club it would not happen again if the AFL did that.
We could have put in a Tassie side to replace them.
And they still got the 1 pick the next season it wasn't even taken off them.

From Bigfooty
Bayside Saint:
Had an interesting exchange of messages from a mate who is well known with a leaning to the red white and black.
Asked him about a few things.
He said the talk of B King talking to Bombers is absolute BS.
He said " if/when he comes home he is only playing for one club and it's in Moorabbin.
If framing a market he is a $1.04 chance of happening. From someone very close to family.
Ben has said to club he is happy to play down back but the saints want them both up forward.
Also my mate said about the 2 academy they are both guns and Windhagers coach at Hailbury he has comparisons to Petracca.
The coach said he is a rippa. On the cusp of top 20 in the draft but doing his knee and covid happening with lack of exposure could help us.
Club is looking at 2 younger KPD as back up.
Saints were in to a very very good younger mid from up north early in the season but has gone a bit quiet.

Next you will be expecting a general message to supporters - sorry we need the draft positions - so we will be tanking this week.

Nothing better than having your logo on a much wanted player as talks increase around his contract or trade. If that team is not in finals then this is their only newsworthy aspect.

Correct
Multiple posters on BF with media links suggesting they’ve heard similar re Bing at 1.04 coming home and when he does it’ll be to us
Not sure what some GC sponsor would know tbh - you tell them what you need to for $ and when he says he’s leaving next year you say “circumstances change....but this new Membrey fella is a gun ....wanna sign on to sponsor him??”

Re: The huge ? Ben King
Manager making a lot of noise to either:
a) push up price GC offer
b) ensure no risk of a fine for manipulation
C) message from AFL to promote their basket case
d) all of the above
