Possibly Blake or King might be on the move from Geelong. Personally I'd rather Blake over King seen as he is younger. Your thoughts?


Travis Johnstone is also being offered around. I think he may be to old for our plans. Though would be handy coming off the bench if he were to come to us. But I say no thanks.

Blake would have to stay. Got youth.

Out of the two, Blake for sure.

But I think he will stay at Geelong

I chose King only because of his experience and the fact that Blake did fall away in the tight finals Geelong had. I doubt we will get any of the two but having King for at least 1 or 2 seasons would give so much experience to both Hille and Laycock.

I would suggest the club draft a young ruckman though through the national draft.

I went King as an experienced option for us to let Laycock and Hille develop under.

a double swap of King + Prismall for ????

Hille has enough experience, and does better when played.

Laycock is gaining experience and does better when uninjured.

King is too old and injury prone and won't offer enough imo.

Blake would spend time in the twos, or relegate Hille or Laycock to the twos.

Ryder is also about as ruck depth.

What's so good about Blake? Gets bagged by his own supporters and couldn't cut the mustard when it mattered. Yeah, I know..........he's young and ruckmen take 15 years to develop.
