I believe King also has a broken metacarpel in each his left and right hand, which he is playing with as well as his PCL.

Can't question his commitment.

Kingy has had 4 ops.

1) 2 pins put in his foot that he broke playing against Freo.
2) Knee reco to fix his PCL.
3) Groin op (abductor release)
4) Hand op to fix his thumb.

Jakey has a tatt of his name inside his bottom lip. Wanted to hide it from his mum when he was 17.

This is the stupid crap that we do, why wasn't he parked up earlier in the season and operated on, it took him to do his knee before he had to stop.

This is not about being tough, it's about player management regarding injury and we a clearly behind in this field. Same story with Jack last year!!!

Amazing isn't it, then 4 weeks into the season when King has had a poor pre-season and his game is down people will berate him and ask for his head....if he is back by then..

[Mr Magic]

Ridiculous to suggest we should rest players early in the season when we were battling for a finals position.

When the season is lost and finals are out of the equation it's a different story and the club did park King when that was the case.

I've moved the footy show stuff about Kingy's surgeries to this thread.

Tiger King keen to push on

RICHMOND cult hero Jake King says the Tigers will need to learn from this year’s lessons if they want to play finals football in 2013.

The Tigers lost five games by 10 points or less during 2012 and had a draw against Port Adelaide in the final round of the season.

The 28-year-old has been in Mildura this week relaxing while trying to recover from a number of injuries he endured towards the end of this season.

In the end of season review, King told Sunraysia Daily yesterday the club had learnt how to better manage close situations in matches.

“It was pretty disappointing in the end, there was probably half a dozen games we should have won, if you look back at those games and win those game you end up playing finals,” King said.

“If we have the opportunity next year when we’re a couple of points down or a couple of goals down, we’ll bounce back and win those games next year.”

King had a injury-plagued 2012, adding only 12 games to his career total of 87.
