Pic on AFL site and Herald sun this morning of King and Roo.
Max makes Roo look like a rover, by god he looks every bit of his listed 202cm

Re: No 12 maybe taken out of mothballs.
I believe he is now listed at 204cm, although I stand to be corrected. You're right though, you understand just how big a unit he is when you see him next to Roo, at what, a puny 193cm?

Re: No 12 maybe taken out of mothballs.
This ties in with a point a made a few years back. About how key forwards are getting bigger/taller. And therefore, how in today's game (as distinct from the previous decade, and earlier), 193cm is too short for a key forward. Even more so for a key forward who doesn't have much of a leap.True Believer wrote: ↑Tue 18 Dec 2018 4:55pm I believe he is now listed at 204cm, although I stand to be corrected.

And even less in the way of acceleration.
And even less also, re agility.
Anyway, back to our new 204cm key forward...
I just hope for everyone's sake (other than opposition defenders) that his surgeon is wrong about the 30% chance of the knee going again. (The AFL average is something like 5-6% of blokes do a knee.)
But always look on the Ted side of life ("do dah, do dah")... there's a whopping 70% the knee will be sweet-as.

Re: No 12 maybe taken out of mothballs.
No 12 in/out of mothballs?
No 4 in/out of mothballs?
Certainly great St Kilda numbers. No question.
But, the legendary No 2 is the jumper number that should have long long ago been taken from circulation and enshrined.

Re: No 12 maybe taken out of mothballs.
Agree these are our best 5 that I've seen. They wore numbers 5, 4, 4, 35 & 12. That makes 4 our most revered number, and I reckon Gresh is worthy to wear it. Come to think of it Gresh has a little bit of that Baldock magic.

Re: No 12 maybe taken out of mothballs.
73.6% of statistics are made up.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!
