Fraid I have to agree with above - and hope I'm wrong too prepares to duck for cover.

clearly u guys havent got a clue. ur probabaly the same guys that want sugar to remain at the club and wallace to remain at the helm.
no idea. this guy has gutz and will be a 200 game player with us if he continues at this pace.
look at other clubs like pies and hawks. not the best talent but they have gutz like this kid has, never give up attitude.
in my eyes its these qualities that win u games, because for far too long anyone that plays richmond knows they have to slam the pressure early and the game is just about over. we r a bunch of weak pricks that never stick up for one another.
maybe if we did and fought to the end we might win a few extra games.

I'm sorry to inprove you King will struggle. I've watched him a few times close up and he is going to battle. Yes he can kick fairly long and is as hard at it as anyone, but his size will hinder him. More so, he is prone to doing very stupid things (ie. Saints match last year) and lacks some basic football understanding. He doesn't read the game nor understand where to postion himself.

I agree with what Tugga says above. He was playing footy in the suburbs a couple years ago for a reason.

I think his best chance of making it is being the clubs #1 tagger - where his weakness will be hiden abit and his only focus will be shutting down his man - ie. Judd next week.

King on the wing or in the guts would help Foley/Tuck/Cogs in and under.

maybe your watching King the assistant coach up too close on the fenceline maybe you should backoff & get higher in the stands so you can see over the fence & watch the game  
you got no idea what your watching Kingy is one of our most consistant players 

In a side that was last.

not worth a reply

Kane Johnson is Commodus from Gladiator...the one who wants to bone his sister and is an embarassment to the royal family and only becomes king by default.

Jake King is Maximus.

Hodge, Brown, Pavlich types are Maximus.

King is a little dude that has a crack but isnt quite good enough.

Think Sugar is past his use by date - But who have we got to replace him on the field atm. Hopefully next year
Like you have said and maybe Subconsciously or not covering ur behind "Not the best talent","if he continues at this pace" - Agree and Agree
And that is all I am observing.
Love, absolutely love his G&D which is something most of the side has lacked for too long.
Got him a long way last year and I hope it keeps up and he can do the same again this year and in future, just think his footy nous is not quite up to standard.
"No idea" Well unlike some of you internet geniuses 'nerd boys' who think what you say is gospel, I am open to critism and am well aware that I do not know everything about football.
Seeing 400 odd Tiger games live over the years tho gives me a little bit of substance to offer my opinion on this site without being told I have no idea by some spotty little nerd boy that thinks he knows everything - Jam that up ya clacker punk. Spoonhead

if i thought u didn't have a clue before with that comment, im convinced now.
who have we got to replace him? your joking right?

The King of pain
Sunday Herald-Sun
By JACKIE EPSTEIN

RICHMOND defender Jake King has already claimed a well-deserved title this pre-season -- most mentally tough.

The diminutive Tiger stole the limelight in the AFL's season launch at Docklands on Thursday night, with footage of him completing more than 300 push-ups featured in a video of clubs sweating out pre-season training.

His feat was filmed in a summer camp where the players were pushed and tested to breaking point.

``A group called Stealth Development took us and they put us pretty much through hell,'' King said of the four-day camp at the Dandenongs and Anglesea.

``At the end was a little competition with chin-ups and push-ups to see who could get the most. I actually got the most in both. A bit over 300 in push-ups and I got 46, my jumper number in chin-ups.

``It was a bonding thing where they try and break you.

``They put you through everything physically possible and try and break your mental spirit and they weren't able to break us at all. It's a good sign. I think we're becoming closer as a unit.''

King admitted he had since tried to beat his mark but had struggled without teammates rallying around him.

``I actually swore twice during those push-ups and if you swear it's another 40 push-ups per swear word,'' he said.

``I don't think I'll get near it again.''

The clip shows King pausing several times in the 290s, including on 299, before resuming as his teammates count along. As he passes 300, one wag is heard to shout: ``Go for 400!''

Anyone able to scan the pics and/or email them?

[Darth Tiger]

not like Daneil Conners who plays for himself

Big statement, where is your evidence ?

[Tigermonk]

dont you watch the games he plays in
his always more concerned in taking a huge grab, even when in defence thats team stuff hey 

[richmondrules]

don't you watch the games he plays in
his always more concerned in taking a huge grab, even when in defence that's team stuff hey 

Sounds more like the actions of an 18 year old kid. Go figure.

i wonder if moi and his mates on here read this positive comment made about a rfc player because apparently all we make is negative comments about the tigers.
exactly couldn't agree more. He is gutzy and has HEART. something most of our list does not have.
