St Kilda have been dealt a massive blow with Max King ruled out for the remainder of the season. King suffered a posterior cruciate ligament tear to his left knee just after half-time on Sunday, but managed to play out the game. It’s the same knee that saw King miss two matches earlier this season, but the club say the injuries are unrelated. The 23-year-old has came under fire for his performances this year that has yielded just 19 goals from 12 games.
“While this will see Max miss the rest of the season, pleasingly he doesn’t require surgery, and this course of action will place him in the best possible position to attack pre-season.” Saints coach Ross Lyon defended King on Sunday after he went goalless against Port. “When we’re not getting a lot of clean ball to him, it can be hard … I really admired his mental ... he took a step forward,” Lyon said.
