Should’ve been at least in the squad last year too. He is the perfect modern day small defender and is never easily beaten in a contest. Massive mancrush on him. Close to being my favourite player.

I was critical of him about this time last year because I thought he shirked it a couple of times but he has been genuinely stupendous since.
His one on one work and particularly his ability to recover when he’s out of position is as good as there is anywhere in the league and his balance when he’s in the air or when he’s zig zagging at top speed is unbelievably good.

Was one on one with Mason Cox in the goalsquare in the last quarter for a few minutes and they weren't game enough* to kick it near him because he is the ultimate defensive machine

I was terrified when I saw that match up.

Great player. Only second to tippa in my favourites.

Saad and Shiel have been our most consistent players this year. I would've doubted that being the case given the flashy types aren't usually the consistent types. Saad's repeat efforts (even after already sprinting 100 meteres back towards defensive 50) are incredible. And he still always manages to find that extra burst of speed to set us up going back the other way. He is rarely beaten and gives his all in every contest and every attack. What more could you want from him??

Wow weee
Saad is a ******* jet. Never really saw him for a full game until yesterday. AA worthy, anybody that says that he isn't is a complete idiot and has no idea about football.
Stringer also had a good game. If he was still at the Bulldogs, would be our best forward easily.
Loved Danihers game, especially his 55-60m goal. Was epic

He is the exact kind of player we're screaming out for.

Get ya mitts off he's ours
Huh? How does Hibberd get brought up in this? Hibberd has pace, but he is 29 and slowing down. No one has jumped off Hibberd mate.
Saad is one of the quickest in the AFL, you can never have enough of his type.
Oh relax, I was just having a dig seeing as how we've already given you one 'running off the back' defender in him.
Chill.

What about Jayden Hunt? He was the next big thing off half back for the dees. What's happened to his development?
I have no idea mate.. last year he hit a snag with injuries and poor form and this we have tried him up forward to try something new. Has worked in spurts but is a shadow of what he use to be.

Sign him up on a 10 year Buddy deal, holy s**t.
What a steal.

Wonderfully disciplined half backer who plays at full pace in every moment with intensity and aggression.
He’s Gold Jerry , gold.

My mate used to describe Messi as "like a playstation player".
Saad is the same. The way he moves is really quite remarkable. There is virtually no lag in hitting top speed and his agility doesn't change at all even when at top speed.

Very classy player is Adam, just so impressed that he busts a gut every week (and I can count on one hand the players who do that at Carlton on a weekly basis)
Right now, I'd say he would be in you top 3 in your B and F.
Has taken his game to a new level since joining your lot, credit to himself and the environment and culture Woosha has helped forge.
Terrific role model (and not jus for Muslim kids either, he is a hard working professional)

Pick 35, stuff all.
Absolute blessing that the stars aligned and we were able to get him over with so little fuss
