Spot on there yipper.

It was quite amusing watching all out talls line up and then have a shot at out marking Maxy....the first 4 failed...Max took very strong contested marks 4 times in a row..against Ro,Keeler,Google Howard(thankfully he didn't bust Max's shoulder)..can't remember who the 4th player was.... TDK out marked him with the 5th play.

Max was in the main group....doing running...mini sprints.....a little bit of chasing......plenty of goal kicking...etc.

If you didn't know who Max was and what his issues he's had for the last 2years....you'd assume he was just another player doing training drills.

How he goes from here...who knows but it was very encouraging watching him today.

Incredible news.

Just so glad to hear TDK is capable of taking a mark.

The King stuff is pleasing too

God I hope you're on the money. I'm going to be extremely skeptical because I think history is the best indicator of the future, but I'd love to be proven wrong

Bit of a rumour I’ve been trying to get to the bottom of.

But VFL this weekend? 👀

It’s either this weekend or in 3 weeks time when we play the crows.

A "conditioning block" would have to be at least 2-3 weeks surely. Then I'm guessing maybe a half in the VFL and potentially a full game there or back into the seniors against Wet toast or Carlton. If we're playing well maybe they wait until the Richmond game for a soft hit.

Getting ahead of myself though, unfortunately lots of chances for reinjury before that.

The information I’ve had for a few weeks now that I’m abit more comfortable to share on this thread as I have been avoiding it for the most part. He is somewhere between 1-2 weeks ahead of this.

He is fully fit and has been fit for a few weeks.

A lot of training happening in his “own time”.

Also, I gotta say I don't think King's presence would do much for us unless we change our method of forward entries. When indiscriminately bombing it long to a pack, King isn't going to make much difference compared to what we already have.

Now if he is isolated one on one and that also means that Sharman and Owens are up against the second and third defenders, with everyone leading and using space in a coherent manner then we could be dangerous. Add in Higgins, Ryan, Hall and Nas as goal scoring threats and the forward to ine could be very potent with some thoughtful delivery. But I think Lyon truly believes in the bomb it deep and lock it in ideology.

What were we bemoaning when King was playing his last games? Constantly bombing it long to King. I'm guessing that's exactly what we'll resume doing if he ever makes it back.

It's a role most sides are into now. A tall spiller/marker deep to make a contest or score. If you turn Keeler's performance into 2 extra goals per week it massively boosts our offence.

Lets say King comes back in round 6-8 or sometime around there.

Wha happens with Marshall.

Do we have a spot in the forward line for all of.

King
Sharman
Owens
Marshall

He'd want to hit some form.
