    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

    This thread is a joke right ?

    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.

    He wrestles for WWE in his spare time?

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
