I already love him before he's played a game. Don't care if he speaks in malapropisms if he can play well. He's probably the player I'm most excited about seeing. Actually Dow too. I want to see my new toys. The preseason seems a longway off.

Obviously

as St Kilda attempts to build in Ross Lyon’s second season back in charge.
St Kilda booked King in for surgery after a dislocation mid-year then after a second opinion delayed medical intervention until the post-season to allow him to play in the final matches of the season.
He kicked six goals against Richmond and three goals in the finals loss to GWS then had the latarjet surgery, which is vastly more secure than conventional shoulder reconstruction methods.
That surgery positions a piece of bone at the front of the shoulder to ensure the joint does not dislocate again.

King hurt his shoulder against the Dees in July. Photo by Michael Klein.

It also has a quicker return timetable, so King will be back with his teammates in coming weeks.
He will be back in full contact training on January 9, having already reported a strong range of movement in his shoulder post-surgery while ramping up a gym weights program.
Membrey missed the elimination final with a medical issue, but as reported by the Herald Sun last week is on track for the pre-season.
He has been at Moorabbin three times a week doing bike sessions and after knee surgery delayed his last pre-season is optimistic of a full summer.
Saints wingman Dan McKenzie has returned from a trip to a German specialist with a positive prognosis on his calf issues but his future at Moorabbin remains uncertain.

is hopeful of completing a full pre-season. Photo by Michael Klein.

He was the latest AFL player to see world-renowned soft tissue specialist Dr Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt after persistent injury issues including repeated calf tears.
He was given a series of ideas he could incorporate into his fitness program, with St Kilda still open to whether it delists him, re-signs him or even keeps open a summer rookie spot.

On the upside: Well at least the Cats are not as strong as they were.


On the downside: I suspect that we will be rolling out a substantially reworked game plan with two starts slotted in. It may take a few games to bed down.
