Reality is King Max is a long way off.. did look really slow and unfit.. was at the game and workrate a long way off (assuming due to fitness). Watched him for a lot of the game

Sam Fox also looked really good when she was on Benny Hill.
But like me she got old, but she is still better looking.
Fox played well yesterday and his name isn’t Sam

From AFL.com

State league affiliate: Sandringham (VFL)
This weekend: Sandringham v Northern Blues - Sunday, May 26, 11.50am, Marvel Stadium

Young gun Hunter Clark once again shone at VFL level, with the classy midfielder collecting 29 disposals during Sandringham's 11-point triumph over the Northern Blues.

Out-of-favour veteran David Armitage also won plenty of the ball with 29 touches of his own, while youngsters Nick Coffield and Nick Hind picked up 20 disposals apiece.

Highly rated big man Max King booted two goals from five disposals up forward for Sandringham in what was his third game at VFL level since being drafted by the Saints with the fourth pick at last year's draft.

Good to see Clark and Coffield doing really well now. Great news.

King is still a bit off which was expected but he just needs game time and match fitness. It will come and he seems to take his chances from limited opportunities which is a good sign.

Bloody exciting to think of that but just wait for a negative spin coming this way! 🤣

Feels like the first time in a long time that our early picks aren’t being gifted games. I like it:

I went and watched the whole Sandy game with eyes heavily fixated on King. He didn’t move as well as I thought he would given the Winx name. I’m happy as everyone is he got through his third game unscathed. He was easily held out of contests and didn’t crash many packs. Maybe because he is somewhat tentative and if he is that’s understandable. One thing I noticed is that when he did crash a pack I wasn’t concerned about whether he would be concussed. I’m not trying to be a smart arse with that comment it’s just when Paddy crashed packs I would keep an eye on him hoping he’d get up. He used his 7 possessions well including the two goals so with 7 goals from 3 games he seems to be able to deliver. He reminds me of Hipwood who doesn’t get a lot of it but moves well and does some good things with limited possessions (I’m assuming King does/will move well as Winx would suggest). It was a waste of time spending 2 hours watching King but I saw enough to suggest it won’t be a waste of pick 4 in securing King.

The problem with Clark on Sunday was that most of the 29 possessions didn't hit their target - a la Seb Ross. When you have time and space (as Clark did) then I'd expect better skills from a pick 7


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

Clark's second half was a lot cleaner than his first. In fact the whole team lifted when they realised richo was watching.

A young Sudanese kid in our development squad,

From saints.com

St Kilda Next Generation Academy product 'Biggy' Nyuon is among the players set to take to the MCG on Grand Final morning in the NAB AFL All-Stars 'Futures' clash.

The under-17s game will feature prospects eligible for the 2019 draft and will be streamed LIVE on AFL.com.au and the AFL Live Official App ahead of the premiership decider.

The two teams have been named after recently-retired AFL stars Nick Riewoldt and Jimmy Bartel, with NAB AFL Academy head coach Luke Power to take charge of 'Team Riewoldt', while South Australian under-18 coach Tony Bamford will coach 'Team Bartel'.

READ: No small feat for 'Biggy'

In recent years, the under-18 NAB AFL All-Stars clash has been played on Grand Final morning as a curtain-raiser, including last year when this year's Rising Star winner Jaidyn Stephenson was named best afield. However, the under-18 All-Stars game will not be played this year with concerns over the prospects' workloads heading into the NAB AFL Draft Combine the following week.

The under-17s 'Futures' game will be broadcast from on Grand Final day.
