Ben and Max both drop marks, due to lack of body strength when contact is made. That will change. The prospect of both Kings is very attractive and would love to see it happen one fine day ...

He can have a rest this year, many players have. He has earned his spot every week by clearly being our best tall forward.
You've embarrassed yourself by saying he's had an average year and should be dropped 2 days before he gets a rising star nom, just own it.
Said Gresh needed a week off because of his horrendous set shot / general kicking. That's about it.
While you've tried to write off the likes of Howard, King and now Bytel, at least own it.
Do you watch the games?

Re: Max King Rising Star
I’ve $14 at $15 for Maxy to win the award. I think he needs to kick 10 more goals in the last 5 to take it out

Re: Max King Rising Star
Max King will be our no 1 player by the age of 23. Calling it now.
Want to watch the most boring and devious thing on television and probably in mankind's history, then tune into a daily live press conference at 11am.

Re: Max King Rising Star
Rowell is eligible this year but his body of work has already been overtaken by most nominated. He will still be eligible next season as he would’ve played under 10 games

Cheers GiK but ultimately isn't it a 5 to 1 voting system on who people believe the better player is.

He looks more dangerous than any other first year forward I can remember.
We are still only getting glimpses really.

Re: Max King Rising Star
In 2 years time (August 2022) if Max is still a full forward, call me out. He will be a midfielder/2nd ruck, and be an All Australian in that role.

Re: Max King Rising Star
It is a great question, but I agree with GiK that he just hasn’t played enough games . There has to be a reasonable body of work, or else it becomes absurd. What if he had just played 2 games ? What if only 1 but had 40 disposals and kicked 6 ? Can he really be the best young player for this year given he will not have got a stat for 14 weeks ?Ghost Like wrote: ↑Wed 19 Aug 2020 9:01pmCheers GiK but ultimately isn't it a 5 to 1 voting system on who people believe the better player is.

What is clear is that he will be at about $1.02 to win it next year !
You are right it is a subjective selection , but I expect the judges will look to someone else, and satisfy themselves that Rowell is still eligible next year.
Of course if Max can kick a few bags then the position is beyond doubt.

Re: Max King Rising Star
Sports bet have him paying like $5.50 now.
Bundle that into a Saints flag multi and it looks pretty good

Re: Max King Rising Star
Tit or tat???
I was reading tits and tats and was looking for a link
Actually not a fan of tats at all, not remotely, particularly on the fairer sex.
Don't like the full sleeve tats at all.

So an athletic 206cm guy who runs like the wind and is skilled but hasn't played in 2 years off the back of in juries, bursts onto the AFL scene and shows glimpses of brilliance like carving up an AA defender in what should have been a 5 goal 1/4 will be our best player in 4 years time and you're calling it now.
To be fair you are not really going out on a limb there johnearljames.
