IN THE forward arc, one twin booted eight goals. In the defensive arc, the other grabbed intercept marks for fun.

This was the game that proved why these 200cm brothers could create history in the next draft.

Plus a great start for Ben Silvagni in the TAC Cup and some insane numbers for some South Australian stars.

THE KINGS OF THE GOALSQUARE

UP FORWARD, one twin booted eight goals. Down back, the other brother grabbed intercept marks for fun.

On Saturday, 200cm brothers Max and Ben King had a scary field day — and proved why they’re every chance to make national draft history come November by becoming the first brothers — let alone twins — to be taken in the top 10 in the same AFL draft.

The Oakleigh Chargers had no answers to the Sandringham Dragons’ twin towers, who dominated both 50m arcs during the two teams’ TAC Cup clash.

Max King, in particular, was unstoppable inside the forward 50, booting a whopping eight goals to go with 19 disposals and nine marks (eight inside 50, six contested) to inspire Sandringham to a 23-point win over the Oakleigh Chargers.

Brother Ben King was just dominant at the other end of the ground, finishing with 20 disposals, 11 intercept possessions and nine marks (four intercept and four contested) while he also snuck forward for a goal.

Unsurprisingly, the King twins were named the Dragons’ best and second-best players on the ground — something we’re bound to see more of in 2018.

With an eight-goal haul in a second straight Dragons win, it would’ve appeared to be a perfect day for Max King.

But the reality was his goal tally could’ve soared well into double figures, as he also finished with five behinds and another kick that went out of bounds on the full.

So when asked what he needed to work on in the short-term, King’s answer was no surprise.

“Goalkicking is something I definitely need to improve on. Five behinds today, so we’ll work on that during the week,” he said.

King’s 14 shots at goal were the most in a TAC Cup game since former Eastern Ranges forward — and current Hawthorn defender — Blake Hardwick had 17 shots back in Round 15, 2015.

Like any humble footballer, King heaped praise on his on-ball brigade for their excellent delivery.

“It was coming in really nicely, the mids killed it today so that made it a lot easier,” King told TAC Cup radio post-game.

“It was a really good effort from the team.”

With both players over 200cm and blessed with great athleticism, the King brothers’ size would appeal to all AFL clubs.

But for Max, who’s still just 86kg, he knows he’s got ample room to grow physically.

“I tried to hit the gym a little bit to put a bit more weight on so I don’t get pushed around as much,” King said.

“Big pre-season so looking forward to a big year.”

UNDER 18 EYE-CATCHERS

WHILE the King twins were dominant, they had ample support from Dragons teammate Alastair Richards, who ran all day to finish with 26 disposals and three score assists.

Elsewhere in the TAC Cup …

— Ben Silvagni — the son of Stephen Silvagni and brother of Jack — was among the Oakleigh Chargers’ better players, booting two goals from 11 disposals and five marks. There’s every chance that Ben, who’ll play school footy predominantly with Xavier College this year, could become the second sibling in his family to line up at Carlton.

— Geelong Falcons captain Sam Walsh did his top-five draft chances no harm with a massive game against the GWV Rebels on Sunday. Walsh booted one goal from 36 disposals, 12 contested possessions and six score involvements. While there are some question marks over his impact per disposal, he can seriously find the footy.

— A couple of father-son guns were in action for the Calder Cannons in the TAC Cup, with Rhylee West (29 disposals, 13 contested possessions, six clearances and one goal) and Mason Fletcher (14 disposals) both crucial in the 33-point win over Eastern Ranges. West plays — and looks — like his father Scott, as he’s slightly undersized yet an excellent clearance player.

— And another midfielder to watch this year is Jye Caldwell, who was among the Bendigo Pioneers’ best in the loss to the Murray Bushrangers. Caldwell, who could be in first-round calculations this year, finished with one goal from 24 disposals, 10 contested possessions, three clearances and seven tackles.

In South Australia — where a lot of top-end talent will be this year — possible No. 1 pick Jack Lukosius continued his excellent start to 2018. Playing for the Eagles in the SANFL seniors, Lukosius booted 3.1 from 12 disposals and six marks in another impressive display up forward after starring down back in previous weeks.

— Possible first-round pick Jackson Hately was among Central Districts seniors’ best against North Adelaide, booting one goal from 22 disposals and six inside 50s.

— In the reserves, Sturt’s Tom Lewis had a big game with 16 touches, 11 contested possessions, six tackles and five clearances.

— There were some huge numbers in the SANFL Under 18s. Possible first-round pick Boyd Woodcock was enormous for North Adelaide with 30 disposals, 16 contested possessions and six clearances. Norwood’s Luke Valente had a day out with 1.1 from 39 disposals, 17 contested possessions, 11 clearances and eight marks. And Luke Bogle (29 disposals, 12 contested possessions, seven clearances, seven tackles and six inside 50s) was crucial for South Adelaide.

In the WAFL colts, top-five hopeful Ian Hill was excellent across half-back for Perth with 24 disposals and eight intercepts. Teammate Luke English (one goal from 28 disposals, 12 contested possessions and four clearances) was also strong as Rylie Morgan inspired Claremont to victory with a massive game: One goal from 32 disposals, 11 marks, five clearances and six tackles.

MATURE-AGE WATCH

REMEMBER journeyman Rhys Palmer? He’s still going strong at state-league level.

The former Blue and Giant finished with 32 disposals, 20 clearances and three goals on debut for Swan Districts in the WAFL.
