It’s plausible that all three of SSS make the squad if Stringer continues this form.Would he be in All Australian contention? He hasn't done a lot wrong, been damaging the other way etc. Who's beaten him this year?

Did anyone mouth Saad 3 times when he took on Atley.......
I think he is the fastest guy in the league.
Decent chance for the squad but I assume the likes of Stewart, Shaw, Lloyd, Hurn and Laird would be the ones in mind.
I said it in the match day thread but I reckon he's arguably the most exciting player with the ball we've had since Michael Long (apologies to Raz).Here's the deal. He might just be our most important player.
Big call, but so often when we go into our shell it's this guy who says **** you dudes, remember? We do this!
Seriously. He has no fear. I ******* love him
He could get caught holding the ball 2-3 times a game and i wouldnt care. Thats because when it comes off we will get a quality inside 50 more times than not.Here's the deal. He might just be our most important player.

When he takes the game on, everyone shifts position upfield to create space and lead to the ball.
In a game where the press/zone is the king of defensive structures, having someone who has the speed to bust past 2-3 defenders and create overlap means presses and zones collapse upfield as they clamor to shut down space in front of the ball carrier.
And when ball movement becomes ad lib and teams are forced into scramble defence we look at our best.
Easily in the top 5 most important structural players in our team.
Opposition eams will put a lot of time into him from now on you’d think. But hey, guess what, if he gets nullified in a game we’ve still got McKenna, McGrath, and even Tippa, Fanta or Colyer to break the lines heading forward. Was really looking forward to the time where we had all 6 in the side.
HUGE BREAKING NEWS ON SAAD:
He's now edged out Walla as my 6 year old Bomber tragic son's favourite player! This is massive and probably the biggest KPI you could want for the importance of Saad to the team!!!
Saad has been great for us but he won't get in the AA this year. Not even the 40.
He has only settled in the line up the last 3-4 weeks.
it's just the best when they get their own opinions on footy and are just mad about their support.It'll bring a tear to my eye the day my 3yo son nominates a favourite player!
For now, I have to settle for him copying my gesticulating and laughing at me while the footy is on.
Lance Softiecutit's just the best when they get their own opinions on footy and are just mad about their support.
This morning my boy was saying "Dad, I'm soooo happy Saad chose Essendon! So happy. What if he'd chosen the poos and wees? Then they'd be better than the Bombers. But he didn't! He chose Essendon! I'm so happy!"
Very cute
So is that a month?Interview after the game "just tightness". Hamstring fwiw.
ProbablySo is that a month?
Is he a bit lippy or are teams just trying to get into him because of some kind of perceived weakness that he crumbles under the heat?
Always seems to be in the middle of a blue multiple times throughout the game...But it never seems to affect him in the slightest. Absolute weapon
