    He has pace, but we have enough half back types.  I'd rather a pure midfielder with pace if we can find one.

    Was considering coming home after his first season.
    Would be a good option to release Salem to a wing. Pretty hard to counter Hunt, Hibberd, Saad.

    I like him, but we don't need another Jayden Hunt. More important holes to fill

    I recon Saad could play as a mid more so than some of our other running backs.

    Would like to see meters gained as well.  Could leading the running bounces just mean they bounce the ball more than needed?  Not all, but certainly most players on that list would be light weights in terms of impact in games.

    He could be very interesting as an outside mid.

  • Quote

    I'd be all over Saad, though is he big enough to play down back when we already have the diminutive Jetts?

    If he is part of the Suns firesale, he might come relatively cheaply. Is a third round pick too hopeful?

    Billy bounces because he runs in circles, can't make a good decision & can't kick.

  • Quote

    In my head it works but I'll back Viney and the boys to make the right decision. If cheap the experiment of him as a wing hff, potentially even a shut down forward with explosive 2 way running excites. But the minds eye is often rosy in colour so I'll stick with the first sentence

    Saad had a tendency to bounce every 2 steps. With short legs that doesn't add majorly to meters gained

    That is a Bradman-like differential!  Almost double the next best.

    Meters Gained Stats: https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_rankings?year=2017&rt=LT&st=MG

    14. Hibberd - 10,017

    20. Hunt - 9,591

    70. Saad - 6,986

    84. Jones - 6,794

    89. Tyson - 6,653

     

    The bounce stats are a good example of how misleading these things can be sometimes. It would be interesting to see a comparison of meters gained with a score (for or a turnover against) shortly after, say, within the next minute. That's the value of meters gained. Spray a long kick out of def 50 and it is likely to slingshot back over your head for an oppo goal. Lower the eyes for a lead and mark inside our 50 and bingo, goal.

    Exciting player with a lot of room for improvement. I'd say yes at this stage. 

    Would a third round pick get it done? Still young and I don't think hes even played 50 games yet.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
