Ross Lyon dreams of having Liam Ryan and Max King as a lethal double act in St Kilda's forward line.
He conceded after Sunday's pulsating eight-point AFL win over GWS that it might have to wait until next season, or late this season at best.
A week after he kicked a career-best five goals, Ryan went one better to spearhead the Saints' best win of the season, in one of the games of the year.
The margin was never more than 17 points in the 14.12 (96) to 13.10 (88) nail-biter, and after the last-minute loss to Sydney the previous week, Sunday's win at Marvel Stadium was huge.
Cooper Sharman also starred with four goals, but King is the key. He has not played since 2024 because of injury and is now recovering from a hamstring problem.
