North Melbourne great David King wants the AFL to overhaul reserves’ ‘unprofessional model’
Body: 

I always thought David King was a bit wacky but he's excelled himself this time ..... 

 

King doesn’t see the value in running a reserves competition that plays for premierships.

“Play it for no points, it doesn’t matter,” King said.

“Align it to a zone so you get that interaction again from an AFL club back to the local connection, the everyday footballer, the everyday kid who just wants to idolise these guys.

“Then just play it as need be. The scoreboard’s irrelevant; it’s about preparing players to play AFL football.”
