Best he’s played

Best we’ve kicked it to him

His opponent was pretty average, but I don’t think that had an effect

He had a day out!!!!

The plan is to get 20 more games in him and then just kick it long and high to him.

I think today highlighted that

We need to kick it out in front of him and let him launch at it

Max King with 8 contested marks equals the most CM taken in a game by a Saint since the stat started being recorded.

Stat wasn’t taken when Plugger was in the RWB but since then the only other Saints to take 8 in a game were Loewe twice as a 32 year old and Hamill as a 28 year old. G Train managed 7 a couple times as a 28 year old and Roo managed 7 in the ‘09 prelim at almost 27.

Could this be the making of Max, his breakout game? It all finally clicked and he now knows what he’s capable of??

He's stopped rolling the ball around on his approach

Even if that’s the case... with another 10 years of playing together up forward together, I’m sure they’d figure it out.

Personally, I’d sell the farm for Ben now knowing that together, they’d set up our forward half for 10 years... pbly two sustained cracks at a flag... ala Riewoldt and Kosi (04-06 and 08-10).

They are different sort of players

Ben is more like Ben Brown, likes to hit up with leads

Max is a contested marker

I noticed that too and had a distinct grip, took a more deliberate approach as well pretty impressive

I think the plan is he kick goals instead of behinds.

He was still doing it, up until the last half dozen or so steps of his run up.

The question posed by this thread was well and truly put to bed by the man himself. Time to close it.
