David King has named his All-Australian team for the 2022 AFL season.
The North Melbourne champion has made some brave selections, picking Geelong’s Mark Blicavs and Collingwood’s Josh Daicos on the wings.
It sparked a conversation with All-Australian selector Kane Cornes on SEN Breakfast.
“My wings are Mark Blicavs and Josh Daicos,” King said.
Cornes reacted: “Does Blicavs play wing?”
King replied: “He does, yes, he has regularly.
“He’ll start on the wing and he’ll roam from there, whether he goes forward, takes over a bit of ruck, goes behind the ball for support, or tags the opposition’s best player.
“He’s such a versatile guy, he is the wingman for me.”
Cornes: “He’s been more of an on-baller / back-up ruckman / tagger than a wingman, hasn’t he?”
King: “From the wing. He’s starting on the wing.”
