Senior Max King

[Tommy Wigs]

Only 1-2 weeks away. He will most certainly play for Sandy & build up his fitness but due to our injuries & if one of Membrey or Bruce go out for whatever reason he may get an opportunity in the ones by necessity. I’m excited.

Was hoping he would get back by the Moorabbin VFL game, but it seemingly was pushing out and out. That 1-2 weeks seems new?

Exciting youngsters Max King and Oscar Clavarino have returned to full contact training, with both players looking to play VFL football in just two weeks.

DMac also available for selection this week

That’s what it says on the afl site.

I read recently that he’s been tracking really well & even ahead of schedule.

It sounds like his knee rehab has gone to perfection.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Well it has been over 12 months now since he did it I think, so no surprise he's just about good-to-go.

We were being conservative with him.

Great news....absolutely great news.

Wow, that’s fantastic. Thanks for raising. Pumped to see him.

FMD I've got a stiffy reading this.

Thought he was still at least a month off.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

When the Goldie are on their bye we should get Ben to switch his phone off and suspiciously play Max in defence.

 

[Ducky Tie]

That is very exciting. What game does that make his likely first appearance for the Zebs?

 

[King_Steele]

The king has arrived!

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

straight into the ruck. Marshall can cover when he gets tired

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

In all seriousness i watched his highlights again the other night, moves like a midfielder in a 204 cm body.. pretty crazy stuff. Will endeavour to make his first game with sandy

A year as of last Friday.

I'm actually more pumped to see Oscar Clavarino return.

I know Max will be a gun, don't know when but soon enough.

We gave up a bit to get Clav and I remember before his draft he got a few people detailing his attributes; very keen to see what he's about and what he can bring to our team.

From 2.15 it’s against North Melb reserves. From memory he played on Ben McKay.

Nice- looks far more like a joe daniher type than a ben brown or peter wright which is great.

Looks a decent vertical leap ontop of that height too- he and roma should compliment eachother beautifully fwd/ruck

definitely, but has more agility lateral agility than daniher, and maybe tricks (spins out of tackles like a mid). Hopefully he doesn't lose it as he bulks up

 

[StCicatriz]

it's going to be pretty exciting seeing him run out for sandy!

 

[saintsrfreak]

Was anyone getting excited watching what Harry McKay can do now? Pretty similar to our boy Max in traits, and even has a twin who plays down back.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Really liked what I saw of McKay in his draft year.

If King ends up as good as Harry's looking like he might be we're doing well.

 

[Brains Trust66]

Max looks likely to start playing limited time for Sandy over the next couple of weeks .


Don’t Panic !!

Hope he doesn't take as long to start showing something though.

I wonder how Ben is enjoying life on the Gold Coast, the good thing is if he ever wanted to leave you know where his first destination would be.

His form in the NEAFL so far has been very average.

I think the only way we can interpret that is that the poor lad is pining for Max and the Saints and it's affecting his footy and his general wellbeing.

With mental health now a huge issue the AFL needs to step in, introduce a one off rule and declare Ben to now be a St Kilda player.

And they need to do it posthaste
