Player Watch #31 Max King Welcome to Sydney - Pick 49

[robbieando]

There's upside to build on with King, who was the outright winner of the vertical jump test at the Combine with a leap of 80cm and came in the top 10 for the running vertical jumps tests. The Sydney Academy prospect's athletic traits have never been in doubt and it's that leap that has seen him often fly for big grabs or attempt some unlikely marks inside the forward line. The Swans will have first call on matching a bid on King.

I feel like King is more likely to become a midfielder than a key forward. 192cm isn't a perfect size for a key forward, but it is a great size for a mid, especially since King seems to have a good tank.

Backing him in here.

Will be an absolute gun for us in the long term.

Potential off the charts, has shown it at times in the past and cold have torn a few games to pieces this year.

Had a few things go wrong for him this year (illness during champs being a big one).

Have a mate from Newy way (Hawks fan but nobodys perfect) who's been talking about this guy for about 5 years now, he will be good. Between Kyle and King that's our future inside mid stocks sorted.

I've never seen him play but hope you're right!

 

[Superstar swan]

Absolutely pumped to get him in .

Admittedly I havnt seen him play alot but the highlights are very very encouraging .

Particularly the drop punt set shot from 60 that went through at post height

Based on how he played this year, 49 feels about right. Really hopeful, but not confident.

She would have been taking him to training and the Swans for half his life.

She deserves it

@the (max) king!

Will routinely kick 6 as we p*ss it in.

Max didn't make it to training today but I like that Benny Matthews made it to the King family home in Newcastle last night to welcome him to the club. Benny WAS at training today. It appears that the King family made it to Swans HQ by lunch time too.
