    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?

  • Quote

    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
