Recommitted Ben King [re-signed until 2024]

[BulldogMuscle]

Hell yeah, great for GCS and great for AFL in general.

 

[staffonly]

This is good news. The price to get him back would have been far to much and we already have the better King. Sharman showed enough to suggest he can be a long term 2nd key forward.

 

[Taylor]

That's splendid for the season for this to be done before they spend twenty weeks having the question asked of their players and coaches.

 

[Dockeroo]

Put this thread into hibernation now till 2024

 

[Dockeroo]

Also spare a thought for the guys at Trade radio and SEN who just lost hundreds of hours of material for their shite talk for the rest of 2022

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Outstanding for GC. Not to oversell it but this might be the most positive moment in their short history.

 

[AFDogs]

Finally an AFL player that isn't homesick. Good on you Ben King

That's a funny way to spell st kilda

Shocked he signed there. Couldn’t think of anything worse wasting away at a club which will probably be gone in 10 years.

Must be getting squillions.

Oh boy...

They have the best young list in the league no? Or close to it

 

[staffonly]

Oh boy...

10 goals in 3 games. Yes he’s shown he can be long term.

Playing for the Pies would be up there,
Sign on and help keep the list together then thrown out the door when the big money part of the contract shows up.
At least the Suns will stand by their agreement. Pies? Not so much.

 

[fnerd]

Great news for the GC and great news for the AFL as national competition.

Reckon there ll be more than a few heartbroken saints fan bois waking up to this news this morning

Tho considering the amount of big names that have shunned them last couple years, it shouldn’t come as any surprise

 

[Virgin Dog]

10 goals in 3 games. Yes he’s shown he can be long term.

John Georgiades kicked 15 goals in his first 3 games. His career ended with 15 games total.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Also spare a thought for the guys at Trade radio and SEN who just lost hundreds of hours of material for their sh*te talk for the rest of 2022

Now it seems Josh Dunkley will be the centre of all that mindless gossip and innuendo.

Grats Suns fans btw, much needed good news for you lot

Yep and ??

If St Kilda are relying on Sharman as their 2nd key forward then you're in big trouble.

Re-signing at a club he loves and has faith in, in a place he loves with teammates he is close with.

Doesn't seem that far of a stretch tbh.

Good for him
Good for the suns, and the comp.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Title needs updating it’s a 2 year deal to 2024

 

[bird_man]

Why do you say that?

Check out the best 22 under 25 on SEN (still forgot Moyle) and come back. Ben loves is on GC, loves teammates and believes in bright future ahead.

Great stuff

I'm sick of everyone viewing Gold Coast as a feeder club

Time for the Suns to shine

 

[The Kings Ransom]

Good start to his career.

Why did your long term tall forward play 17% game time in the pre-season match just gone? I would have thought the club would be wanting to get game time into this long term key player.
