Pick 7

[bornadog]

Don't think he will last to pick 7?

I would have thought we would be chasing Ben. I think Max will go closer to 10 plus

[bulldogtragic]

So Redders & Smith retire after questionable treatment of their ACL, and we replace them with another (talent aside). I'd be shitting myself if I had to come to us the way we've handled these issues. Especially sending Clay out just to make sure he'd done it.

Don’t worry. Pretty sure the saints will take Max

Max seems to be almost universally rated as the better King, with the obvious ACL concern.

[divvydan]

Obviously Max King is now a much higher risk of doing another ACL but does it run in families? Is Ben King also a higher risk of doing an ACL given his identical twin brother has done one?

Not meaning to derail the thread but in fairness to our medical team and Clay, the article below is quite good:

it includes this excerpt:

The third one was a year and three weeks later. I’d played well in the VFL, come back into the senior side and we’d beaten the Swans in Sydney the week before, in one of the best wins I’ve been part of. We were off to a flyer against St Kilda when I landed awkwardly taking a mark. It felt like a hyper-extension.


I limped off and down in the rooms, they did the test again. They looked up and me and said, ‘Mate, it’s gone’.


Because of the strength in my leg I could still run and change direction. I didn’t know how long I had left in footy – I was coming to the end of a contract and knew this meant another year out. I said, ‘If I can still run around I want to go back out there’. They said I couldn’t do any more damage and left it up to me. I love the game that much, I just wanted to be a part of it.


I went back out and ran around for another 10 minutes. My teammate Mitch Honeychurch came up to me on the half-forward flank and asked if I was alright. I said, ‘Nup, I’ve done my ACL again. It’s gone’. He asked me what the hell I was doing and I said, ‘I can still run!’

Just before half-time, I was going back with the flight for a mark, landed, went to step on my right leg and it just collapsed underneath me. Your muscles can do so much but once they relax, there’s no ligament there to hold it.

SEN reporting we are in the mix for May, pick 7 on the table.

[Hotdog60]

Are the Suns looking at both Kings?

[Remi Moses]

I’m channeling Trag here , but how about Scully for 7 and a pick coming back ?
Not a late one as Scully is 27, but one in the 20’s ( spitballing here)

You have to give up something good to get someone good

I believe they are.

[DOG GOD]

Surely GC can’t go past Luko with pick 2 or 3 ?

Maybe they take Luko at 2, Ben at 3 and hope to get Max at 7?

Very possibly...I can see saints taking smith at 4 if they hold their nerve on draft night and don’t give up that pick to the SA clubs.

I can't see Max sliding past the Saints pic. They love him, he's a saints fan and he's doing his knee rehab there.
