SAINT Steven King's father, Ashleigh, last night launched a bitter attack on his son's former teammate turned rival, Mark Blake, saying the Geelong ruckman had slurred his family.
Just hours after Geelong's win, Blake alleged one of King's brothers sent him malicious text messages after last year's Grand Final loss to Hawthorn, and it was "good to stick it up (King's) a---".
As the feud intensified, Mr King said last night he was bewildered by Blake's comments.
"I've asked my boys (Michael and Troy) about it and they said they've never texted Mark Blake in his life or got his number," Mr King said.
"If he's got a text, he might be very surprised where it may have come from, because we don't know.
"He's probably only assuming someone from our family texted him . . . It could have been anybody."
King, 30, took Blake's place in Geelong's 2007 premiership-winning side. Blake swore he would leave the club if King didn't, forcing King's trade to St Kilda less than two weeks later. He played on Saturday, but did not shake hands with or talk to King.
"No, we didn't shake hands . . . I didn't probably get around to him," Blake said.
"But I copped a few text messages after last year's Grand Final from his brother, so it was good to stick it up his a---."
