Another King up forward?
Mic Cullen
afl.com.au | Tue 12 January, 2010
Just in from Punt Road - "Is nuggety defender Jake King about to become a nuggety defensive forward? King trained with the forwards as Richmond went through their paces at Punt Road this morning. King has nine AFL goals to his name, including a career-high five in 2009." - Reported by AFL.com.au's Mic Cullen.
Were any of you die-hard Tigers fans at training today? What do you think about the possibility of King being used to fill Richo's massive shoes?

So yes I hope King gets the chance to play forward, he proved to be elusive down back when running out of defence, I think if he can break the lines up forward he could end up with 2-3 a game with maybe a few bags of 4-5 as well.

Whoever he picks up will drag him straight to their full-forward spot.
I'm afraid his days are numbered.

King plays better as a tagger eg when he beat Shaw in the Sydney game. Nahas is a better defensive forward.

Would much rather see Jake up forward.
-
I think he plays best as a tagger too

theres no place for 5ft nuthing skinny totally unskilled smalls at afl level. if king is part of our future weather it be back forward mid we are in trouble and have learnt not a thing.

Whatever King was so far a the positions he played it was clearly not good enough for the current coaching team, good on them for pushing him forward.
How many new coaches have gone into teams, changed an average player playing out of position into a fantastic player finding their proper position.
Have faith lets hope it works.

Not up to it and very lucky to be on the list.

True Mr Magic, but no harm in trying something new with him. Give him a run up forward in the practice matches and with Coburg. If he happens to show something well and good, if not then you havn't lost a lot.

yep some fool gave him more than one yr i wonder who that was.

Jake has one year to run on his contract. Barring a stellar season where he plays 20 plus games whether forward back tagging whatever it seems highly unlikely he'll survive the post 2010 season culling.
In a season for the RFC as this year where expectation is low and experimentation may be high with the implementation of a new game plan he'll more than likely get his chance based on his tenacious qualities which is what Dimma is trying to educate the whole team on but at 25 you won't develop your footy abilities greatly which is where the problm will lay with Jake as well as his height.

king is very small but I would not think him as skinny. He plays like he has a firecracker up his ass.
He does have some skillz: abilty kick 55m goals, good pace etc.

Anyone who watched the game tonight must surely realise Jake is short of the quality.

I didn't see him get a kick MM so I'll have to agree. ;D
