2005:
King returned in round 17 against the Bulldogs, and seemed to find
a niece in the team as a forward pocket - scoring a nice goal. He
then proceeded to have an amazing purple patch, scoring two goals
in the win over the Tigers – including the goal to put the side
back in front in the dying moments. He then continued his good run
scoring three goals including a freak snap over his head in the round
19 boilover victory over the Dockers. In a poor ending to the year,
King was demoted to Williamstown for the final match of the year.
King was flying on the training track in 2005, proving one of the
early season standouts.
2004:
From Glenelg, King was drafted at pick number 58 in the 2002 National
Draft. A former baseballer, King spent 2003 in the Williamstown seniors,
where he was a member of the premiership side, as well as being touted
by Mick Malthouse as possible Grand Final chance.
However, the dream did not become a reality for King, who watched
from the sidelines as Collingwood lost by 50 points. 2004 was meant
to be the break through year for King, who made his debut in round
four against Fremantle. King showed toughness and skill in
his short period in the seniors, scoring a goal against Port Adelaide
in round six. King was then demoted to the VFL, where he appeared
to lose his way. |
