Yep. Younger lists are at a big disadvantage with the disrupted VFL seasons. Suits an old team like old man Geelong
How good of a prospect is Baldwin?
Well if heās kicked 120, pretty good.

The 2 best rookieād key forwards I can think of are J-Pod (who was a mature ager) and Quinten Lynch so expectations should probably be tempered.
How about we wait and see how Harry Jones goes next year before dreaming up sell-the-farm scenarios ?

The kings rule baby
Iāve got to say I have some reservations about both King twins. Not that they arenāt, and will continue to be, very good players. But I just doubt how likely they are to mature into genuine big strong marking forwards. They are very athletic and very talented, no doubt. But will they ever fill out into strong bodied players? They both look pretty naturally skinny to me, not strong through the chest and shoulders. I see a likelihood of them becoming like say Hipwood, who is also a very good player. But Iām not sure those sorts of player are worth 2 first rounders.
Itās way too early to say whether Baldwin will be a player, but he has the potential, body wise and the way he is reputed to play (albeit on a very small sample), to be the type of strong forward that is needed to take contested marks and compete as a target forward.

As much as he would be the perfect KPF partner to Jones, I just can see us doing it.
Unless we take our picks this year. Blow two firsts and a crap load draft picks in trading for King and Davey twin points deficit. We would be out of the draft for 2023.
So looking for a FA signing in 2023 then I guess.
They are already much more strongly built than Hipwood, and look like they both have great builds for the game by my eye.

We should nit be Ben King for Ben King to come to us nixt Yir.
Interested at the right price but only in a Lynch to a Richmond kind of scenario. Not essential but nice to have.
I wonder how many other club forums have a Ben King threadā¦ I imagine 17

BigFooty has a GC section, itās not well attended
His set shot kicking worries me. I donāt think the blood vessels in my brain would handle another key forward who sprays them everywhere

Yeah so not great but not Joe either. What did Wright go at this year, what did Jones go at?
