According to BF,
"good to see young jake will be a tiger for next year with an option for 2012 well done jake keep it going"

Don't see why this would be a surprise. Has done everything asked of him, has made great strides in keeping a lid on it and behaving and is a regular in our best 22.
The thing that is impressing me (if this BF post is true) is that we don't appear to be handing out big contracts any more. 1 year with performance triggers for two for Tucky (don't believe this is confirmed) and 1 year for Jake with an option for 2 if we want him.
-
To sign King and Tuck is a good thing IMO. It shows that Hardwicks message is clear and these players have improved out of sight.
I would say King may be in our top 10 B & F since that Stkilda game where he demolished NDS. His kicking has improved also.
Whilst im not a fan of the midgets i think he can be a cleaver tagger we have been waiting for not like Patty Payne Nahas who should be delisted.

shocking decision

Hardwick's first dumb decision :banghead
-
we need hard players like jake
get rid of softies like nahas

Hardwick's first dumb decision :banghead
Agree but was it his or someone elses?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead

I think you'll find Jake wont be in the best 22 next year, this isn't the reason why he should be let go. A mature gutsy footballer as depth isn't a bad idea. He isn't our future but he has worth on our list in the 2s to come in and play and fill a role and he has shown this year he can do that.
-
If it's similar to Tucks (1, with triggers for 2), then I'm all for it. He's a great leader.

2nd dumb decision, 1st was Tuck! IMO.
Edwards, Polo, Nahas are in the gun IMO!
Two of them have to go!

is this confirmed or are you all jumping at shadows !

haha wouldnt rely on BF as a great source i'll just wait till its confirmed before saying anything.

like it or not kingy happens to be one of our not that big but big names.. Collingwood all know who is for sure ;) and he has improved heaps from last year and is doing all he is requierd to do and he has proven he can be a good tagger (how many big players has he injured? some of ours :P but for a small body he is worth an extra year ... he shows that he is a tiger beacue he is alwasy doing stuff for teh club and i am happy to have him again
you NOOO sayers sorry but you must be blind to not see the impacts he has on some games and his improvments :)

lol ... clubs going nowhere if decisions like this are true. People seem to have forgotten.
WE ARE 15H ON THE LADDER!
WE HAVE A SHOCKING LIST!
WE NEED ANOTHER CLEAN OUT!
Kings played 50 games, he gave it his best shot. And he contributed- noone can deny that but the question is will he be in Richmonds next Premiership team. The answer is NO so that makes this potential decision a bad one.

Craig Cameron would make this decision wouldn't he? Not his first dumb list management decision that's for sure.
If this is true I'm absolutely stunned about the option of a 2nd year :help. With another dip into the draft later this year, Kingy should be playing VFL next year if we are to move forward. Strange that we are so keen to sign him up in July when he is hardly a keeper ???.

Winston Churchill ;D
By the way Dan if you think King or Tuck are great leaders than we are in some trouble at Punt Rd. Neither of them are leaders, neither of them are potential RFC Premiership players and any serious list manager would move them on.

The option is exactly that, Mt, an option that no one is obliged to honur. All it is is a carrot, an incentive.
I'm far from King's greatest fan but I think he has earned another year on the list. He then has to earn the second year of the contract next year.

Edwards is an improved player and he shouldnt even be talked about. Hes had a very good 12 months IMHO.
-
Edwards is a keeper! Why would we cut him now when we are finally seeing reward?
-
we need hard players like jake
get rid of softies like nahas
i have bagged King in the past but on this one i actually agree with you.
If given a choice between Patty Payne and Kingy im glad we chose King. He has flaws but he has improved this year since that Saints game.
ooh and i dont think we can be stupid to sign someone up before the end of the year. I think its all rubbish.

True there are a number of others ahead of Kingy for the chop (which explains why we are a bottom club :P ) and even before this news given Kingy is in our current 22 I thought deep down the Club may keep Kingy on for another year as cannonfodder while the cubs develop. However while the likes of King standard footballers are on our list we aren't going to climb up the ladder. The 2012 option may be incentive for Kingy but for the list's sake it should never be exercised. He's lucky he will still be on an AFL list in 2011.
-
For sure King is probably not the sort of player to take us forward in the long term.
My take on how Hardwick is working is that he first is looking for a core of players who will play the game how he wants them to play.
The challenge is then up to the more skilled players on the list to take their spot, or more specifically to earn it. This is a pretty good culture to install in the club, even if initially it means that players not quite up to it are getting games.
While I would be concerned if King was still getting regular games this time next year, I hope that if he is, it's because he has improved more than most think he can, rather an indictment on those that should be challenging for his his position.
-
Shouldn't believe rumours and jump at shadows ;D
There's some signing announcements supposedly coming up shortly but who they are who knows
And at the minute to be honest I really don't care
-
great game from Kingy today if he plays like that more in the future i would love have him for another year :thumbsup
-
after todays game ,how about we make it 3 :shh

the only question is - Will Jake King be in our next premiership side.
In my opinion he wont be so that means he should not be on our list going forward.

What, he's not playing next season? :P ;D

:lol @ smokey
Ramps, if he keeps improving the way he is, he could be.
Despite a couple of missed goals he had a good game today.
When is our next premiership, by the way ;D

Jake King very very good today.'the hard running to get on the end of it was excellent. Well done Jake :thumbsup
-
Yeah played well, Go Kingy :thumbsup
-
I may just say, I was the first to bag King and got shot down. Still very limited in footy ability but makes up for it in many other ways. Deserves every thing he is getting atm :clapping
-
I must admit, I don't really get the whole "not a player in our next premiership" thing
If I was picking a side to play in a grand final, I reckon King would be one bloke I'd love to have in my side on the day

i think there is room for him in our team if he plays like this Ramps. If i were betting on our B & F since the Stkilda game he would be in our top 10 no question.
There is no room for Patty Payne Nahas but we can have one small in our team and King may be it.
I rate King equal if not better than Farmer, Nahas and Nason on our list.

Contract offer is there but can only be signed at seasons end pending any brain snaps from young Jake :lol
