Steve King Update

Sorry if this has been covered but The Doc on MMM said that King has no tear to his hammy and was taken off with tightness. He also said it depends on training this week and may play, but I guess they wont risk it.

yeah he said it was more back spasms down his hamstring. I would think that they wont take him to adelaide and he'll be back for the richmond match.

There was also a mention in The Age that he had back spasms...

I have heard it was a quad but that hasnt been mentioned anywhere.

I concur.

Geelong fans I know would still prefer him over M. Blake, notwithstanding Blake is having a very good year so far.

saintsRrising · Sun 20 Apr 2008 6:22pm

Lets hope he is fit to play against the PA...we need him against their ruck duo.

From what I saw through my binoculars Ice was applied to the front of his leg (where the quad is). But there might be a new way of icing the hammy through the quad that I haven't heard of

The ABC on Friday night said it was his thigh rather than his hammy,at the moment it appears its somewhere between his back and his knee...

Rix might get a game although the way Port is giving it to the Eagles,the less C Grade players in the team the better...........

In fact the less C grade players on the list the better we'll be......

Im not sure they care at all. They had no choice as it was either King or Blake. One is 22 the other is 30. They made the right call for sure.

Not discussed as at the time I didnt know Dal had hurt his shoulder.

saintbrat · Post: # 552274Post **saintbrat** » Sun 20 Apr 2008 8:07pm

word was Gilbert was in a sling- that is also describes as a shoulder acl- which was treated on the sidelines

I wouls assume Nick and Sam would have scans tomorrow if not already this weekend.

Rixy withdrawn from todays Scorpions game and appeared to be walking with pain/ stiffness-
where's Luke VR at ?

King is 29, but hey, an old 29 I suppose......

Yeppo. Been in the system since he was 16. Taken young as part of the compensation thingy with Freo entering the comp. Essendon got Lloyd under the same circumstances !!

Looks like a run for the Rix this week against the Port.

St Chris · Post: # 552432Post **St Chris** » Mon 21 Apr 2008 10:34am

I heard on Saturday (triple m i think) that M Gardiner could be right, would be a much better option at 90% than rix at 110%.

Not sure about that. What if MG breaks down during the game? We'd be stuffed for this game and for the next however many that King AND MG might be out for.

110% Rix for 100% gametime > 90% MG for 50% gametime

Rix for 100% gametime = very very scary.
