SANDRINGHAM Dragons top draft prospect Max King put in one of the best individual performances that we have seen in the 2018 TAC Cup season, earning AFL Draft Central’s TAC Cup Player of the Week, for Round 2.

The likely top-five draftee was outstanding for the Dragons, clunking nine marks (including six contested) in what was a damaging game up forward. The Haileybury College student could have hit double figures if he had packed his kicking boots, where he finished the day with eight goals and five behinds, plus one shot missing altogether.

The potent 201cm tall was no match for any of his Oakleigh Chargers opponents and produced an outstanding performance in his first game for the season. King missed the first round of the season due to a toe injury, but will miss the Dragons clash with the Calder Cannons this Sunday – with AFL Academy duties taking place on Saturday at the MCG.

King’s stellar efforts on Saturday make it back-to-back ‘Player of the Week’s’ for the Dragons, who have begun the season with two wins from two games.  King was also the 2017 TAC Cup Round 1 ‘Player of the Week’ after kicking four goals on TAC Cup debut as a bottom-ager at Ikon Park.
