ABC boundary line reporter said he was icing it.


It’s so ****ing shit. He was genuinely about to tear that game apart.

That mark was a chance to his kick third halfway through the second quarter and they couldn’t stop him.

just hope his hamstrings are not like hanerberys

The latest iteration of the St Kilda curse strikes again

Spida Everitt missing the most important game of the year...

G-Train kicking his 100th goal at the least opportune moment....

4 players getting injured in the same game, just happening to be an elimination final....

A clear behind getting called a goal in the biggest game of the year....

The following year, the ball bouncing on the worst possible angle, with 90 seconds left, denying a goal that could've broken a 44-year flag drought...

And now, drum roll please...

Max King suffering his 27th consecutive injury while in his 2nd game back after 2 years off, while his twin brother leads the Coleman medal, just as the senior team is showing real signs of life but in desperate need of a marking forward.....

His luck is so bad if he gets a sneezing attack he will break 7 ribs and his nose when wiping it...

Didn’t play for two years

Got back to playing

4 touches and no goals in game one

Game 2 easily could’ve been 4 goals in the first half

Did a hammy, not his knee or calf.



He has hardly played in three seasons. There are going to be speed bumps coming back from such a lay off. The good news is that hopefully it’s a minor one and the better news is that he looks like an absolute monster

What really sucks for him is you’d assume he’ll need at least one more vfl game now too.

If he got through yesterday he’d probably be coming back after the suns game.

Not sure. They are riding the bike a week into a hammy these days. Fitness won't go. Just touch and match conditioning. If he was a week off playing and it's minor it might put him one game back.

Match conditioning is the whole reason he was there and he’s pinged a hammy in the first half of a VFL game indicating he didn’t have the conditioning for that load.

We might bring him straight back in but there is no way the s&c guys would be recommending it.

Just lost 2 minutes of my life listening to that idiot Zander McGuire. Speculates a 4-6 week layoff and refers to kings “monster” 1.5 million dollar contract as an issue. Sure doesn't let truth get in the way of a sensationalised story. AFL should giving him a fair kick in the arse as a representative of the game. That is serious misreporting which he would know is not true.

Either that or the rest of our list plays for packets of chips and free coke from a vending machine.

Can see him pencilled in for Richmond and if it's not serious they could swing him in and play him off the bench. Drop him in in the second half when the speed has come off the game. All depends on how bad it is I guess.

Hammies aren’t as straightforward but also aren’t as complicated as they’re made out to be.

Depending on a person’s running/walking gait, the hamstring often experiences less load during a light jog compared to a walk as there is minimal additional contraction demands during a jog, and the reduced stride length compared to the walk leads to a net reduction in load. So people can have a decent hamstring injury and still jog, ride a bike, etc. So you can’t read into that too much.

Where they’re historically mismanaged in lower levels of sport is that athletes believe pain-free = recovery. In reality pain-free at rest, walking, or in a jog can be easy over a month before you’re ready to return to play as the hamstring is only meaningfully recruited during acceleration/deceleration, maintaining high speed running, and higher end eccentric loading (e.g picking up a ball whilst running).

The tricky ones are central tendon injuries or T-junction injuries, but these should be caught quickly at AFL level given they’re so trigger happy on imaging.

Max’s mechanism was innocuous but they did the right thing to pull him off. It’ll give fuel to the media fire that surrounds his injury history, but taking this approach and the unnecessary flak is better than showing a brave face, pushing it, and then being out for longer.
