Six goal showing v. West Coast
King gathered 13 disposals, nine marks, six majors and one behind, tackle and goal assist each Saturday as St. Kilda outlasted West Coast 94-86 at Optus Stadium.
ANALYSIS
A confident King stole the spotlight for St. Kilda on Saturday, accounting for double-digit disposals for the third time this month, falling one mark short of a season-high tying 10 and registering a career-high six goals. The 21 year-old's performance ultimately landed him his first 100-point fantasy output of 2021, but boosts the league's No. 19 for total goals (30) to a point-per-game average of just 55.3 for the year.

Inefficient in loss
King kicked one goal and five behinds to go with 12 disposals made (nine kicks, three handballs) and 10 marks recorded during Friday's 68-47 loss to Geelong.
ANALYSIS
King isn't far off from a stellar goalscoring season, but instead he's only scored more goals than behinds on a couple occasions so far. If he's ever able to turn things around, look for King to make a big climb in value.

Personal-best five goals in win
King banked 13 disposals, five goals, four marks, two tackles, two clearances and a pair of behinds Saturday as St. Kilda defeated West Coast 102-82 at Marvel Stadium.
ANALYSIS
King not only netted career-highs for disposals, kicks (8) and goals in Saturday's victory, but also matched a personal-best for goal assists. Those numbers aided the youngster in cataloging his best overall fantasy output (83 points) of 2021, but leaves him a marginal option at best heading into Round Five as the league's 82nd-most productive player at forward.
