King called Whateley "rusted on" for not completely dumping Geelong his seedings after round 1 (and all the injuries in that high quality of a match) is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard him say.
After just one round, your can make that call?
Geniuses
picket needs 4 weeks minimum. Otherwise it stays in the game
I’m not sure in Pickett’s case he was going for the head. He actually got his shoulder, head rocked from collision. Didn’t get low enough for sure, hence suspension, but he wasn’t targeting the head. Not sure how buddy got less, his looked like direct head contact, intentional , med—high.
Gerard still salty about the pies beating the cats
These 2 are the Undisputed Kings 💪
The problem with dissent is that they pay it inconsistently – pay 2 in 2 minutes, let the next 10 go, pick out another one. Why are we obsessed with umpires having no accountability?
Iv never been a fan of Kingy and his opinions on Freo, but I find it really difficult to disagree with anything he said, think he’s spot on here 😓
9 matches played, 47 minute segment, and we have to listen to a full 10 minutes of Kingy beating himself off over Collingwood? Fuckn spare me
The worst thing about footy talk is about reports and suspensions. Its boring AF and they bang on about it for way too long in terms of minutes
On the MCG turf, they have to find a way to have a concert without messing up the turf- how about a false floor ?
mate lance has been going past the footy and hitting blokes high his entire career. first time he hasn’t gotten away with it. blokes a flog.
Brilliant words and thoughts by King .. sending people into an unsafe workplace is not acceptable.
Kingy spot on.Penalty statrs with the action
I understand that the Kozzy hit was careless and dirty but I don’t think he would be thinking about aiming for the head, David King played football and should know about momentum in high pace situation.
Lance Franklin actually thought to himself that he was playing the Hawks next week so I’ll take this guy with a head knock??! It all happens so fast in fast game! Wake up King
Does Kingy actually think before he opens his mouth? I’m not watching any more videos with him in it! Dribble dribble
I want to hear more specifics about why the Eagles are losing the contested ball so often. Is it skill with fumbles, or courage not wanting the hard ball and fumbling when you get it… or lack of focus. or structure… Who is letting them down in the clinches. Are they better off going for skill and class like Kelly and Sheed? or hardness and toughness. What works? Or big bodies. Yeo should be back soon. I'd like a bit more understanding of what's going on. But also for the general footy fans it would be good to go through what successful sides need to win the contested ball.
Kingy is good when he's not trying to be a shock jock.
David King speaking absolute truths! Especially with Freo & Bulldogs
Lmao Pies win 1 game against a rusty cats & king thinks they best thing ever. This is the side that lost to eagles last year at mcg & beat north melb by 3 points before choking in finals🤣
Good analysis and better than ex players trying to be comedians. However do your research properly, it’s your job. The rules on suspension were changed this year and that was what was applied in the Kossie case. It was upgraded because of the potential to cause damage. Gerard tried to explain it but King had no idea what he was talking about. In previous years Kossie would have got a fine because of outcome.
Okay as a Freo fan the analysis is very accurate. Freo should actually be careful with how they handle Fyfe especially with how loyal and brilliant be has been as a player.
David kings a tone deaf moron. McAdam and Pickett weren't aiming for the head, if you say buddy's perfect able to know where he's aiming then how come Pickett and McAdam don't get credit for hitting the body not head. King needs to go watch netball
I think Brisbane should look into Fyfe. They could use a big tough inside mid.
so by gerards logic umpires can be completely unaccountable for bad decisions? the goal umpire has his judgement reviewed by arc why are field umpires bulletproof?
What this shows is what a sh1t coach was Buckley.
The Afl should start 2 weeks earlier then we dont need to worry about Ed sheeran playing at the G + more footy
when you put your chips on rory Lobb to be your man up forward you've just taken 2 steps backwards to go 1 step forward.
Time for the “Send off/Red Card/Sin Bin” or whatever you want to call it. We have video system to confirm that nothing was “staged” , only major sport that offenders get to remain on the field after a serious offence……… that would stamp things out virtually overnight.
Agree with King 100% RE Lobb, that was as bad as a first game for a new club as you will see, 30 yr old in the system for over a decade and that is what he turns up with week 1
NRL and Rugby would give 4 weeks plus for those high hits. AFL looks soft on punishment and protection.
KINGY?….I could listen to you all day. If ever you get sick of the media, PLEASE sign up for the M.R.P……….. In 3 yrs, you'll clean up football. A one week "penalty" is RUBBISH.
