King admitted Shinboner of the Century Glenn Archer was omitted because “he doesn’t really mind if I leave him out, so I’ve made it easy on myself” and, of course, plumbed for the King, Wayne Carey at No.1.
“I had a go, there’s no winners here, it’s a tough one,” King said on Fox Footy’s AFL360.
“Wayne’s clearly going to be No.1, then you can pick your poison.”

“The Kangaroos have had 1021 players play, so this is a seriously tough task,” he said.
