Restricted Free Agent Ben King

Hawks need mids not forwards so wont have interest, nor would Bulldogs, St Kilda, Essendon or Carlton who simply dont need FFs. Itd be Collingwood or Demons in reality and he would choose Collingwood

There were some rumours in Trade Week that King was headed to Carlton. Not quite sure what I wanted to make of that.
To be honest, I think Melbourne might be hungrier, but how well that might go will depend on how they perform in 2026. Collingwood: can they afford a guy like King? They'd love to have him, but he doesn't fit in their pay scheme.

Hawthorn absolutely need key forwards. Mabior is decent but hes inconsistent and you cant rely on Lewis staying on the park consistently.

Not the Victorian team i would pick if i was him.

I agree - window is closing. Gets a big payday but I don’t see a pies flag for sometime unless they somehow jag 2026. Way to old and offbalanced list. They were all in without a tall forward for a couple of years too many. Dogs are headed that way if they don’t go get a decent tall back as well but at least we have some likely A-grade youngsters coming through. Don’t see that with the Pies.
