These two were the best two choices from the available ruckman.
Hudson would have neen ok.
Meesan seems to be another Brooks...a gifted player who does not have enough heart.
King is better than Wood for 2008.....and possibly 2009.
Wood would be better of the longer term.
I am sure that Banger will be delighted that he will have a good ruckman in King to play with in his last year
This will assist in perhaps having Banger finsih his career in style.
Flying the World in comfort thanks to FF Points....

Having King gives us a huge set of bonuses...
Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

This is probably delusional - but im still thinking Mick Gardner might be around for a while.
After that I guess we are looking at Van Rheenan.
I hate to say it but the Pies have done well out of all of this. Wood will be a 100 gamer at least.

Hopefully we cut Brooks and draft McEvoy at pick 9, seriously lets be honest Van Rheenan wont make it.
BROWNLOW: DalSanto 06, Ball 08, Riewoldt 07, Ball + Dal + ROO tie 09.

Would still like to see us draft or rookie another ruckman in addition to VR.

King has the realistic hope of continuing to play finals and he has every chance of holding down the ruck at the Dome.
The boy can play and we can build a defence around him that will have respect.

King is a proven AFL footballer. Wood is not.
