I think they’ve handled him dreadfully. Why put this in the public domain? That club stinks. They haven’t known when to put their arm around their players and when to expect more.

He’s a first year player in the system. He’s clearly fed up with getting no support and learning very little.

I don't disagree with that either  but the media frenzy has also fed off this rubbish as well.  It's like Jack Watts all over again in some sense. 

I also think it's a severe double standard.  Let's see the jurno the wrote the story take an ice bath until someone else says it's time.

    How dumb is footy sometimes?

    Clubs employ a person to stand with giant cards telling the players how many minutes left. It looks like something from a weird Japanese TV show. A middle aged person in full sponsors gear holding a giant paper sign that says ‘90’.

    Can we get the mascots to do it for a laugh?

    How is King 5th in the Coleman with kicking like that? Saints lose it's on him.

    I thought Max's goal kicking technique was bad. King is atrocious. Spins it in the hands and his grip is totally wrong. Surely he should go around the corner everytime. His drop punts are no chance with the way he kicks them

    I feel sorry for this poor kid. It’s a flimsy reason for dropping him and what’s worse is he won’t get a chance to play in Adelaide in front of his family and friends, ie, people who actually do want to support him. 🙁

    It must go with the name Max that just miss simple goals. 

    Watching the saints supporters looking away when King was lining up is how I am when Gawn kicks for goal.

    St Kilda are the worst team in the AFL when they have ANYTHING to play for. The minute they have nothing to lose they come good.

    Wow - you'd want to skin King alive right now as a Saints supporter.

    So king is a professional footballer. Full time job is to kick goals. 

    0.5.

    I'd trade King. Has cost the Saints quite a few games this year and they'll get plenty for him.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
