Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[Steven Tyler]

Lewis or King. Can't play them both.

King from the Saints only plays about half a year due to injury
Same as Lewis

Let’s hope one is out for the first half, and the other for the second half

 

[ahhhhhh]

This thread wouldn't be the same if someone didn't suggest we are getting one of the King brothers each year.

 

[PenAndPaper]

This thread wouldn't be the same if someone didn't suggest we are getting one of the King brothers each year.

Maybe it's actually David King

 

[Brant]

Lewis or King. Can't play them both.

I reckon it'd Dear v King at this stage, for the FF position.

If/when Lewis gets fit, he'd be back to that CHF role, playing from 30m out, up to the Wing.

Dear (or King) out of the Goal Square with Chol seeking mismatches or getting free as the 3rd Tall.

 

[Nugett]

There is two of them

That may be true, but only one of them has shown that they are any good.

 

[Nugett]

All it needs now is trade Breust for a King.

 

[OsakaHawk]

Is this the King that Sicily put on his ass after diving (against Blanck?) and Sicily giving away the only 50m penalty in the history of 50m penalies that makes me actually happy?

If so no thanks, don't want him.

 

[The Generals Helmet]

I reckon it'd Dear v King at this stage, for the FF position.

Dear (or King) out of the Goal Square with Chol seeking mismatches or getting free as the 3rd Tall.

If we committed to a forward line with Lewis and King in it, we’d be sacrificing the manic forward pressure that has propelled us up the ladder. Both struggle to bring the ball to ground and compete consistently.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Take this with a grain of salt, but I’ve heard the question has been put Ben King’s management again

Exactly the name I put up a few weeks a go but some posters pointed out that he's newly contracted just a few months ago. That was because dimma jumped on , thinking things will change at GC. Nothing has and nothing will. We're definitely interested.

 

[Goats]

So no change since 5 months ago.

But a change from 5 days ago.

 

[FB19]

Or could it be both Kings? I thought that then had the weirdest vision of Max singing “Ben the 2 of us need look no more…”

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

I hope we pass on both, under achievers.

 

[Brant]

I hope we pass on both, under achievers.

How much of that is due to Gold Coast & St. Kilda, though?

I do wonder what they may have been (or become) if they played elsewhere.

 

[mustang]

That may be true, but only one of them has shown that they are any good.

Maybe thats why we may chase him buy low, and bring him into a better environment.

 

[Iceman!]

I hope we pass on both, under achievers.

Very harsh on Ben King gone 47 and 40 goals the past 2 years will be 50+ and could be closer to 60 by the end of the year. This is despite missing an entire year with an ACL.

 

[Back Pocket Rocket]

If a King comes I would say this indicates we have no faith in Lewis getting on the park.

 

[butlers hawks]

I am assuming I missed something where is this talk of an unknown key forward coming from?

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

I am talking about there whole career and what I think they should be capable off.

Not sure there heart is in it to totally dominate. Also both clubs would want a massive pay day to let them go.

Then again Sam and the team seem to know how to reach untapped potential.

 

[TazHawk15]

The only King the club would be after would be Ben surely because the other one is borderline VFL material IMO.
Every time I see the St.Kilda one play I am totally underwhelmed.

 

[Bugs1977]

No Max King please, I have made far too many comments about his game that I would have to publicly walk back in a couple group chats and the office, and I don’t really want to.

So if the club is in fact reading this then please consider scrim reaper from BF.

Agreed. I've heard of death by a thousand cuts BUT death by a thousand behinds is just painful to witness.

 

[dermott]

IF the mystery forward is King....

THEN our forwards are:

Chol (resting ruck)
Lewis
King
Dear

Too tall? Or manageable with rotations?

Clearly Lewis will be missing a lot if not all of the next season, so our options currently are Chol and Dear. I know the optimists will mention Scaife and Ramsden but both are yet to show they are AFL ready.

 

[Hawk the Talk]

Ratten & Roughy would know more than any of us about these Saints players. If the clubs interested, I’ll back them in that it’s the right call.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Can we stop with the 'let's underrate every other clubs player because they don't play for Hawthorn' narrative?

has kicked 159 goals from 83 games.
Hypothetically speaking, if we're entering a premiership window and could bank another 160 goals from a key forward over the next 4-5 seasons we'd trade for him in a heartbeat.

 

[ahhhhhh]

We are never getting either of the King brothers. Can we please stop discussing it every year.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I don't like the general vibe and attitude of the King brothers.

I think Essendon could turn into a real feeder club for us. D'Ambrosio highlighting how bad their development and coaching is. If there's someone on the fringes there we should be sniffing around.
