Kingy calls Kangas cowards

[Mr Reliable]

Well almost...he didn't write the headline.

Watching On the Couch and Kingy was quoted as saying on 3 AW tonight that we were very brave during the scuffle but after that there were several instances where our blokes weren't prepared to put their head over the footy.

He went on to say that Brad Scott should be more concerned about rectifying this than winning fights.

Anyone know what this bitter and twisted former legend is talking about?

 

[Arden]

Vichy ****.

 

[scottywiper]

Always been as poor a bloke as he was good as a player.
Only bloke in the rooms after the 96 grand final who was a sword to talk to.

 

[Roosurgence]

Yep definately part of the good footballer, shit bloke club.

 

[Tas]

Is this Gold Coast Kingy who didn't put his head over the ball or his body on the line when it came to the real contest?

 

[snrub]

He was specifically referring to our young players.

 

[roobear]

He was the north "expert" on 3Allw***ers before the match.
"Kingy as a former player I'm sure you've watched North closely this year?"
"Yes absolutely"
"Would you say their game style has changed under Brad Scott?"
"Yes, they are much more inclined to avoid the corridor now, which is hardly surprising as Brad was part of the coaching panel that developed that style at Collingwood of bringing the ball around the boundary. They're nowhere near as direct as they were under Dean."

 

[Mr Reliable]

He was specifically referring to our young players.

Maybe Brad will take him through the second half tape and get him to point out these embarrassing incidents.

 

[shinboner magic]

Yeah he wasnt offered the coaching job.

 

[GoNorth]

I loved Kingy when he was playing for us but I am really starting to dislike him these days.

 

[Some Idiot]

I doubt he was referring to the young players, Ziebell showed plenty

 

[Mr Reliable]

I doubt he was referring to the young players, Ziebell showed plenty

Maybe Andrew Swallow wasn't putting himself in hard or often enough for Kingy's liking?

 

[KangaMatt]

You doubt wrong. He mentioned the younger players not putting their heads over the ball after the Hall incident.

 

[RoyalBlue]

Pro Gold Coast ****.

 

[Roo-Boy]

Is this Gold Coast Kingy who didn't put his head over the ball or his body on the line when it came to the real contest?

Yes the one butchered the ball in the round 16 2003 game against St.Kilda at Etihad which cost us the game. I lost my respect for him

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Pro Gold Coast ****.

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah.

Bloke who only looked and sounded good in a North guernsey.

 

[The Other Dean]

Yep definately part of the good footballer, shit bloke club.

Seems to come with the name.

Lulz at a Vichy lapdog accusing anyone of cowardice.

Rubbish bloke. Can happily go **** himself.

 

[telemark]

So ****ing disappointed in this shit.

King (like many others) came out in support of the Gold Coast. Putrid opinion - but I would be happy to welcome back into the fold those who are willing to admit just how wrong they are. Not asking a lot - just that people who went on record publicly renounce their opinion & acknowledge our recent off-field successes.

If he is going to carry on like this then **** him. Have fun at Richmond you gutless ****.

 

[WesternRoo]

Was a fantastic player for the club, but he was a player I never really liked after he sent us into extra time in the 94 final.
Just something about him, I often agreed with mates who supported other clubs who hated him.
How could he pick North players for not going hard enough? Half the Bulldogs side dont...Gia?
Im not sure he should be the authority, on commitment at the contest either.
He never squibbed anything from memory, but he was hardly Glen Archer.
Its a bit like having Billy Brownless comment on winning a flag or Rodney Eade commenting on coaching one....they would have no idea.

Having said that, I do think there is a couple of guys who could go harder I feel.
I wont name them yet and it certainly isnt Bastinac,Ziebell or Cunnington and it certainly isnt any of our first year players.
Im sure Brad Scott is onto it.

 

[jacko57]

The one sour note of the 96 GF was the way he cleaned up Craig O'Brien with a cheap shot (broken cheekbone IIRC), then gigled about it on the footy show next day.

 

[roonskins]

FFS he is a former north champ he can have his say;we might not agree with some of the things he says but give the guy some respect he helped us win two flags .

You would be in the minority in welcoming him back, he is a w***er off the field.

He isn't at Richmond any more, he was dumped by them.

Still doesn't mean he isn't a shit bloke.

I would have thought anyone involved with the Richmond Footy Club as part of Terry Wallace's coaching team, gave up all right to talk about how footy should be played or pass themselves off as an expert of some kind.

Good to see your input and involvement Kingy was so instrumental in a successful Richmond side

 

[scottywiper]

Story I heard was that he was so pissed at Jade Rawlings getting the interim job at Punt Rd, he walked out in a huff and went straight to a radio station to let them know, two hours before the announcement was due.

 

[Twinkletoes]

I had the headphones tuned into 3AW's coverage of the game on Saturday in the stands. Imagine for a second..................David King prattling on with this crap whilst sitting alongside Brian Taylor! Never again
