Kent Kingsley An Option For Richmond
aflinsider.net
November 8th 2006 04:51

Former Geelong full forward Kent Kingsley may have found a new team. The Tigers will have Kingsley training with them and he could be an option for Richmond in one of the drafts.

Kingsley averaged 49 goals per year from season 2002 to 2005. In 2006 his total from 9 AFL games was 10 goals. He also played 12 games for Geelong's VFL side and kicked 39 goals.

While a lot of people will wonder why Richmond would consider an older player like Kingsley, it does make sense in some aspects of it. Richardson has always been a forward who often finds himself on the wing, he gets the ball on one of his long leads and sometimes doesn't have many options to kick to in the forward area. In the past his team has been successful with another full forward playing with him. The Tigers do have some young players who may be able to fill this role but for next year Kingsley might be a better option. Richardson kicked 45 goals in 2006, Pettifer had 31 and Simmonds 25. The Tigers also lose Stafford's 15 goals. A player who is a proven goalkicker is something that Richmond needs.

Another reason why Kingsley is a reasonable option is the price, both in salary and draft picks. Kingsley would not be expecting a big contract, and Richmond would not offer one anyway, while the price to acquire him would be a preseason pick or maybe pick 60 in the AFL National Draft.

Richmond probably don't draft Kingsley, but if they do it will be a low-cost, short-term deal that might provide the Tigers with a few more goals and a push into the finals.

A player who is a proven goalkicker is something that Richmond needs.

What we need more is to get game time into young players.  That’s what the next two seasons should be about.

Young players I can be patient about, not Kent Kingsley.  Haven’t we had enough of this type?

If Limbach is still training with us I guess he is a strong chance of being picked up as a rookie.

Is Kellaway training anywhere?

Is Kellaway training anywhere?

I think he's training by himself LT. That's what he said when he was interviewed a week or so ago. It didn't sound as if he had a particular club interested in drafting him though.
