Mitch Cleary has indicatied he is drawing lots of interest from Victoria teams

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.

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.

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

He could be very interesting as an outside mid.

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.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
