I thought he was a pretty damn good footballerI thought he was a pretty good midfielder.![]()
They passed on a KPP, Ben played both KPD and KPF and thoughts were divided where he might end up playing be it back or forward. The problem with his forward craft at draft time was considered to be his set shot goal kicking, very hit and miss.Port. They're desperate for a forward after passing on Ben King in the draft.
Chad RintoulForgot about those. We don’t seem to trade much with the west.
Stenglein from west coast the only one I can think of.
Pretty sure that's not the game, I'm almost certain he kicked 10 against us in another game where he was switched from midfield to full forward during the game and absolutely lit it up.If you're a South supporter look away now, but it was only 9.

Might be getting your Kings mixed up.They passed on a KPP, Ben played both KPD and KPF and thoughts were divided where he might end up playing be it back or forward. The problem with his forward craft at draft time was considered to be his set shot goal kicking, very hot and miss.
Nope, I watched both lads play for the Sandy Dragons, on occasions live, Ben was very hit and miss especially closer in to goal, better from long range.Might be getting your Kings mixed up.
Ben's a much better kick, 89.54 for his career
The teams that passed on the King brothers would be kicking themselves, with the exception of Carlton who have good tall forwards already.They passed on a KPP, Ben played both KPD and KPF and thoughts were divided where he might end up playing be it back or forward.

1st semi at AO. I was there with my Dad.I was at that game, South were in front and playing well when North' coach shifted Jars from the midfield to full forward during the 2nd quarter from memory and he slaughtered us. Mike Patterson the coach maybe?
Yes there were two bags of 9, he absolutely dined out on South in 1990. 23 goals in 3 games.Pretty sure that's not the game, I'm almost certain he kicked 10 against us in another game where he was switched from midfield to full forward during the game and absolutely lit it up.
Hately was the right move for us at the time especially considering what we paid (nought).Interesting that Freo fans are jumping for joy over the Will Brodie salary dump trade with GCS. Brodie has been starring for Freo so far this year as a tall inside midfielder and they picked Pick 19 in last year’s draft for a future second.
Disappoints me that we don’t seem to hunt these sort of left-field trades that while somewhat risky can offer high value, particularly while we have salary cap space.
Brodie would have likely been a ready-to-go, significant upgrade for us over Hately. Of course we would have needed to have used Pick 19 well (doubtful) and cut a couple more fringe players or not drafted Rowe/Nankervis.

Me too, great game!!
Must have been a good game if everyone was getting their first semiMe too, great game!!

Hawkins has played his best footy after 30 years of age. Still dominant too.
Your post has given me a new perspective on the future of our Texan.![]()
A lot may depend on how Thilthorpe comes on and Tex's status at year's end?The crows and Himmelberg are in an interesting position. If he continues with current form, his next contract will be much better, maybe another club will give him more dollars and years. I wonder what the club does with him?? Do the crows offer him a deal soon or wait til the end of the year and see who’s interested, all the while offering an average contract to present we still want him

Tex will play on I think, his form warrants it as well. We need to give Gollant a contract as he is so different to the others. If Rob doesn’t improve, we may throw him into ruck and let him run around. It may be a way to play him but not forward yetA lot may depend on how Thilthorpe comes on and Tex's status at year's end?
Gollant is the interesting one contract wise heading forward.
Fogarty is looking less and less like the answer unless the penny drops with him soon that he needs to work much harder to get involved in general play.
re a much better team with Tex in it, he will be good for you for another year at leastBit early to suggest Tex goes on
We have seen he starts strong and then hits a wall. With careful management he may stretch out 1 year - but is it time to manage and develop other avenues?

I was always worried about his pace, we got him for free so not a cost apart from a list position.H
Hately was the right move for us at the time especially considering what we paid (nought).
The fact he was drafted as an inside mid but had not been given the opportunities in that role at GWS it looked to be a great move to pick up a former big bodied 1st round pick with it all in front of him.
It's disappointing that he hasn't come on as expected but I guess there's still time for him to measure up.
