Traded #42: Adam Saad - Traded to Carlton for pick 8 (with some junk picks)

[Studly Baker]

Rip Saad

Tooken too soon

 

[Howard Moon]

Wonder if he's useless in the wet?

Is a saad with out the bounce half the player?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Almost like he used to play for the Suns, and they were laying out welcome mat, eh?

Happened against the Pies too, think he’s just been singled out as our key play maker and limiting him goes a long way to beating us. They are right.

Probably been happening for the last 8 weeks or so now

Essendon has been useless in the wet for more than a decade at least he'd fit in. He seemed to have pretty clean hands in dewy conditions though, just need to teach him to channel his inner Arzani and dribble the ball up the wing.

So after being rested in the last due to a tight hamstring, has been no actual injury development. Surely the beltings he copped throughout the game didn't help. Should be in line for selection.

Adam Saad failed to run out the clash against his former side last week, but Crow said it was precautionary and expects the dashing defender to take his place against the Dockers.

“Adam Saad finished on the bench – that was just us being really careful after a hamstring cramp to make sure that he was ok this week,” he said.

“We’ll be monitoring him closely to make sure he’s recovered from that.”

Very saad

 

[Knox Harrington]

Saad has had 73 bounces this year.
More than Brisbane 54, fremantle 71, gold.coast 68, Melbourne 53.
Player wise Heath Shaw is second with 39 and Connor mckenna third with 33.
Essendon has had 203 in front of Richmond who are second with 146.
Amazing

 

[scottmclaren]

25 bounces in the last three weeks.

 

[Unfazed]

Scans inconcusive so probable out.

 

[Fridge16]

McClure reporting he’s still sore. Unlikely to play this week.

 

[VelvetSledge]

McClure reporting he’s still sore. Unlikely to play this week.

That means he's in!

 

[Old Stuckup]

That means he's in!

To be fair he was right about Fantasia.

 

[Haychh]

We'll really miss him this week. If they are going to go top heavy with 2 rucks we need to exploit them for leg speed

 

[Studly Baker]

So, no more, no more Mr McNeice guy

Did anyone else think it was weird that we were talking about recovery from a 'cramp'?

 

[Fridge16]

I don’t like McClure but he gets a lot right.

 

[daffo]

Damn. Would have loved him out there this week. We need run off half back. Maybe McGrath goes back for cover.

 

[DapperJong]

Wait have I missed something?

 

[Runk]

Sorry, when did he die? VALE

 

[Lore]

I don’t like McClure but he gets a lot right.

He mostly just repeats rumours from other journos. If he gets it right it's because he quoted someone reputable, but 9/10 it seems to just be rumours for the sake of filling the air time and the papers for the week.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Francis come on down

really, this is just not right, and is pretty silly imo. If you really believe that then I don't know what to say. If you don't think the guy has sources and works hard at his craft then you're just wrong, basically. There are very few journalists who are lazy and rubbish like people seem to think

Saad for francis hey?

I said "mostly". Because when they live cross to him at the end of Friday night footy, he's really just repeating headlines, with the odd bit of "breaking news". I'm not sure if he personally claims authorship, but people do tend to attribute that gossip to him.
