Injury King Done?

[_RT_]

According to Glenn Archer, Kings manager, his season is over as a result of the foot injury and that his career may also be done with as the foot doesn't seem to be healing. King wants to go on next year but Archer isn't sure that his body will allow it and that King understands that this may be the end.

A herald sun fell on his foot?

Well at least Caro will be happy.

Sad if this is the end for push-up but even when fit unfortunately he isn't best 22 anymore. Best of luck for him going forward

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

A guy who has got the most out of his football ability and always busted a gut. Will be sad if it is the end!

 

[Roachy8]

We won more games over the past couple of years when King was in the side.

I'm glad you don't get to write on his retirement card!

A fit jake king right now would make our team so much better! SO, MUCH, BETTER!

I remember Kingy taking on Didak and an all in happened and the umpire awarded a free kick to that squib, Didak then tried to be a smartarse and take on the man on the mark but got caught and the gutless umpire called play on, that incident and non decision nearly caused a riot where I was standing such was the anger from tiger fans.

 

[FootyBuzz]

Sadly most likely if his own manager does not have any confidence.

 

[Stylo]

That'd be a real shame. I still think we're a better side with King in. Would be sad if we couldn't give him a proper send off.

 

[Ralll]

A real motivating factor when in the side, will be a loss not having him around the club if true.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

We won more games over the past couple of years when King was in the side.

2014: 1-1 with Kingy, 3-9 without
2013: 13-5 with Kingy, 2-3 without
2012: 7-5 with Kingy, 3-6-1 without
2011: 8-10-1 with Kingy, 0-3 without
2010: 6-10 with Kingy, 0-6 without

2008 is the only year we've been better without him in the side (3-10-1 with him, 8-0 without)

Under Dimma:

With Pushup: 35 wins, 31 losses, 2 draws
Without him: 8 wins, 22 losses

No wonder Dimma likes him so much.

 

[THE_GUN]

He's cooked , Move on

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Heard him speak in the 3121 about 5-6 weeks ago and he didn't paint a great picture.
His foot is ****** basically.
He was a much better player than I thought he ever would be.
If we are honest though Jakes been as good as finished since very early this season.
Great career relatively speaking.

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

I love Kingy and he was so important to our clubs development and returning us to finals. The boys walk taller with him out on the field.

Not in best 22? Current season's performance says hello.

 

[TheProwler]

Not in best 22? Current season's performance says hello.

Sorry but he is now a fringe player. He would be getting games if he was fit and everybody would be asking why he is getting picked week in week out, much like they do with Newman I guess.

Has been a great servant to our club but it's time to call it.

 

[TigerImposter]

He maybe gone to us ,but knowing our policy on list cloggers he may still have two years on him
Please do the right thing Kingy and hang up your boots and on the way out take Newmans boots with you
Thanks For the memories boys

Which probably suggests a bit about where we are at.

If this is the end I will miss the little chipmunk out on the ground with his head high and chest puffed out no matter what the situation, win, lose, draw, scrap .... Hasnt he had a coaching role whilst hes been injured? Could be good working with rookies ... Get him to teach banfield to play properly ...

 

[Groupie_]

Surely it's the end

 

[Dr Tigris]

Real pity. His agression, strength and footy smarts were great. Not the best for skills and overall talent. Btu he got his all form what he had. If some of our VFL players did that we'd be a lot better. Maybe should inject the essence of King into TV - woudl be a great player!

In the words of the great man Richie Benaud "not an impossible task, but pretty f****** close to it".

Now he needs to bust a nut for a little father son!

Hoping that's 100% tongue in cheek and not what you really think.

Faking an injury to stat-pad this year.
