Good work by the Saints. They finally got both King's on the payroll. Their fans have something to celebrate... Even if Ben still plays for Gold Coast.
I think you mean Max King.

No if the Eagles offer him 2 mil (which they wont) he will stay there because no one else will offer him that.
Unless Eagles improve incrementally enough to push for finals over the following 18 months (will be bottom four for years), he ain't staying.

Only team who can afford the trade will also be down in the toilet. Next contract will be solely around securing his economic future
He knows he'll make his money from his off field image anyway. He strikes me as a player who would like to have success. If West Coast rise up the ladder next year, perhaps you may be right. I don't see it though, particularly with a gaping hole in defense now missing.
So, no other #1 pick struck you as players wanting success, despite the majority staying at the clubs they were drafted to?
Harley a special case for the Vics, it seems.
I have heard from those in the know that he wants to be back with family and friends. He may indeed do what you say and stay for the $$$ but he's going to get paid regardless.
The lure of being back home along with playing for a team that will contend in the next 5 years is going to be a major factor.
Every kid in their first year away wants to be back with family and friends.
Most end up staying.
Also, he's with friends in Perth, specifically his best mate, who he lives with.
He won't be seeing his family all that often if he was living in Melbourne either. Probably not much more than he currently does.

3-4 first rounders you’d think.

Unless its Geelong, then the media will say a late 1st (which will be all they have) is about right and is fair

Surely it wouldn't net 4 first rounders. 3 maybe.

Shocked that Geelong are jerking off to the prospect of Harley only wanting 200k a year and a Cotton On life membership showbag
Not even sure why they're frothing over the thought of him to begin with, they weren't even his first choice when clubs asked who he wanted to play for at the combine, if he had a choice.
Collingwood was...

He’s such a level headed kid I reckon he’ll stick loyal with you guys. It’s not like Perth is as far away from Geelong as Collingwood like Ollie Henry had to endure

He's a Geelong nuffie mate. His favourite player ever is Joel Selwood.
When he said who he was excited to play with at the Eagles he said, "Tim Kelly and Jamaine Jones"

In club interviews he told all clubs he'd play for Collingwood if he had a choice, because he wants the big MCG games.
Said Geelong 2nd, because he supported them.
Also, most players don't pay any attention to the club they supported a few month into their career.
Reads like hopium from Geelong fans.
If he does return to Vic, he won't be choosing Geelong.

This will go nowhere if we're talking about 3-4 first rounders, can you please put the Eagles guy who negotiated the Baker trade on the phone?
