Get it done, bombers need inside mids perhaps we can trade one of ours as a direct swap. Sparrow and a pick or a Brayshaw / Viney

I think you'll find ANB was playing that defensive tagging role on him.

Did you see who he had upfield to kick to?

I know he is quick, can break lines and is generally a neat kick. What impressed me yesterday was his one on one work. If we can get him he will be an automatic selection and will complement Salem nicely across half back. Could also go some way to solving our small defender problem as we often get torched by opposition small forwards.

[Pulp Fritschon 641]

Didn’t think that much of him yesterday to be honest. Seems to just burst out of blocks and make it up as he goes Sam Frost style.

Not sure that manic movement is what we need. Salem was awesome yesterday and really stood out with his composure and skills. Same with Rivers and these are the type of players we need not Saad in my opinion.

Agree won some good one on ones.  I'm a fan.

admittedly i was a few beers in.. but i feel like i was trying to focus on his output.. oh well, who knows. i'm not against getting saad by any means, but just don't want to sign another player with average skills, if he's got em, great

FYI

Bomberblitz are saying North have offered 5 x $700k against Essendon offer of 5 x $500k

[Vineytime 783]

Bob Murphy said on SEN this afternoon if he leaves Essendon that he is hearing Demons are his likely new home. 

[grazman 6,423]

There was a view expressed in the media (sorry can't remember who) that if Saad leaves Essendon it will be because he wants to go to a club that is going to challenge soon (so won't be to North).

Recall seeing some articles stating that was his reason, it kind of seems like a reason to give for leaving that doesn’t  directly throw the coaching staff or administration under the bus. Him saying that though does say a fair bit about the direction he thinks the club is heading, though.

Saad would have some sort of relationship with Steven May right?

Richmond has asked about Adam Saad. He isn’t gone yet by any stretch. Demons don’t seem very keen at all despite speculation he is on his way there. Fantasia considering his future. Dons fans would you be upset if he went home?

Similar to Williams, is a good player but not worth the money that is being floated around. Happy to put @dazzledavey36 in charge and pursue Merrett.

Wouldn't think so given he's a practicing Muslim...

Sadly Bomberblitz Ralph probably has good connections on this one.

Gotta love this time of year though.

If Houli plans to retire, it's the perfect inclusion.

[whatwhat say what 18,900]

makes perfect sense for the tigers as the houli replacement

[Demon Disciple 10,924]

Would rather Saad, as Merrett to  me is a hospital handball/kicking machine

[Kent 2,581]

Don't we need a winger/outside mid or a small and tall forward

Why are we looking at this guy

Salems' position?

Would he replace  Hibbo?
