AFL: On Midweek Tackle, Sam Landsberger says St Kilda could end up with two top-five draft picks this year if Josh Battle accepts a long-term contract at Hawthorn.

St Kilda spearhead Max King has been given time away from the club to “gather his emotions” in the wake of his season-ending knee injury, with coach Ross Lyon adamant the key forward remains “critical” to the club’s success in 2025.

While Lyon said criticism of King’s output before his injury had been “fair enough”, he said the club wouldn’t waver from its commitment to the star forward, who goalkicking great Matthew Lloyd, said could be the “best forward in the game” at some point in his career.That career will be at St Kilda, where he is contracted until 2026, if Lyon has anything to do with it, with officials having begun talks on an extension before King’s latest injury setback.

“Two shoulder reconstructions and this, it’s been really difficult 18 months for him since I have been here. I have never seen him whinge or complain. He’s very determined and we’ve got his back.”
