HUN saying Kingy is out of the 2nd IR game because of his knee injury

"JAKE King's International Rules adventure is over, with a knee injury ruling him out of Friday's second Test against Ireland.

The Richmond forward suffered a medial ligament strain early in the 44-point loss to Ireland in the first Test. It is understood to be at least a three to four-week injury.

It is likely to cause a disruption to the start of his pre-season training schedule with the Tigers.

It's not as bad as what it could of been I guess.
But injuries like this could have clubs second guessing allowing there top paid/best players to play in these international rule games because at the end of the day they don't count for much.

I'll tip this will end his career.

Interupted pre-season means he struggles and goes out of the team, never really recovers and spends rest of contract in VFL.

Bad luck, Jake.

Richmond livewire Jake King will have a modified program to start his pre season campaign after suffering a knee injury in the International Rules first test on Friday.

King landed heavily on his right knee in the early stages of the match against Ireland at Etihad Stadium, and scans revealed a medial ligament strain.

3-4 weeks shouldn't affect Kingy's preseason long-term. He would've got a 'rest' after the IR series for a week or two anyway.

Kingy is up on the Gold Coast with the Australian team despite being injured. Here's a clip with Jake being interviewed about his knee and all.
