Yeah possibly, anything but the deepest key tall forward I think is worth a try, he's just too lazy in that position, constantly gets caught out cheating by sag off the back of packs to gehe has kicked 3-2 and 3 as a young key -needs to put on 5kg over the summer but his stats

It's hard to crash packs when you are standing still behind a pack waiting for the cheapy which is why the ball constantly gets walked out of our forward line.

Max is not doing anything to crash the packs and bring the ball to ground for our smalls nor does he do enough to help keep the ball locked in.

He's actually a very selfish player.
Max is the least of our problems -has kicked 8 goals in the last 3 games -our forward delivery is pathtic-i was at the game and saw it 1st hand
 
He cheats by hanging out the back of backs, sometimes you have to move to get into those positions at the back of the pack so that's what you would be seeing on his GPS...of his 3 against the lions, the only goal you'd say he earnt was his 3rd when he had front postion over Payne and marked, guess where he was waiting, behind the contest in the goal square. His other 2 goals came because Brisbane defenders would have planned to expect King not to lead into space but rather just sit out the back of packs waiting for the cheapie so when he actually lead into space he had 4 Brisbane defenders not even looking at him or in his general direction as King is so predictable with regards to standing out the back packs. Not many opposition defenders expect Max to lead.

The second time it happened Harris Andrews went nuts at his defenders for falling asleep and just letting Max wander into space....even Harris Andrews was caught off guard with Max finally offering a lead.

His first set shot from directly in front and only about 40 out went out of bounds on the full...
He Kicked 3 goals -should have been 5 expect for hopeless delivery from Hilly and Butler

I thought I'd post a slightly(and I do mean slightly) humorous thing from last Friday in Brissy.

I was having lunch at this awesome Asian eatery that I found around the corner from my hotel.

They were selling fortune cookies at the front desk.....for a bit of fun,I brought a couple.

When woofing down lunch,I suddenly didn't want to open any of the cookies in case the piece of paper read..

"Your footy team will get flogged"

Fast foward to 3 qtr time,I sat there thinking......who needed a bloody fortune cookie to tell me that little gem of advice.

Anyway.....we came home like a train and the fortune cookies remained unopened....crisis averted.

Exhibit A below your honor.

It’s an uncomfortable reality but it seems as each week passes you might just be on the money here.
A bitter pill to swallow but it would be interesting to see King tried in different ways. I said a couple of
years ago to build his tank and run him off a wing as he’s not bad with a ground ball, is quickish for his size
and can use the pill by hand, but was laughed at. If Battle goes, I’d even consider him down back.
I'd consider him anywhere else but deep forward.
Giraffes need room to move.
 
Three goals in a ‘poor’ game of that his base line then that’s pretty good.
Membrey kicked 3 goals not long ago, but was largely unsighted for the rest of the game.
Max's game was pretty similar.
It can be argued that 3 goals in a poor game is good.
It can be similarly argued that he just ran with the luck of the dice, and will do very little in the future as a full forward.
Max needs to hunt the ball upfield.
