King looks very hampered and has lost a lot of his pace. Still competes well which is good. Doesn't go to ground, tackles well and always has a crack. More than you can say for the likes of Riewoldt. Imagine if Riewoldt tried as hard as King, or if King was as skilled as Riewoldt...


Jackson is a very solid player IMO. Top 22 week in week out, being saying it for years but now he's starting to make me feel confident about it haha. Same thing - at least he tries/competes/holds his feet.

Vickery and Jack need to lift, badly.

A Edwards is just a bandaid, getting paid bugger all just to fill a gap. Won't get anything for him in a trade.
Same with White, won't get anything but I think he's got value as a specialist-sub player.
Grigg has had a poor year IMO. First and second year were much better - needs to be tougher and more physical.
Big O same as A Edwards, just a bandaid. Used as a backup for when Maric is injured and likely won't be renewed for next year. I'm hoping we chase somebody like R Warnock from Carltank as a backup or even a primary if Maric's body doesn't hold up.

It's that 'zonal pressure' thingy they apply around the possessor of the ball. There is a time though to man-up and commit to one-on-one pressure....and after half-time that is the strategy we should have taken IMO.
