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

[Maddogm]

There are very few journalists who are lazy and rubbish like people seem to think

Barrett?

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

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

Bullshit. Just like any profession there are a lot of lazy ones. The amount of "sources" these days that are just from the web or other things is much higher than it ever used to be with "journalism".

Yes there are good journalists and I don't have an opinion of Maclure either way, but there's nothing silly at all about thinking that.

EDIT Btw Lance, not after an argument with you, just think while your statements are often pretty good, this is off the mark.

You haven’t heard of Damian Barrett or even Jon Ralph? These guys write lazy opinion pieces and dont use research to justify their stance. Their rumours are either what someone else has said or are proven wrong more often than not.

McClure is better and don’t mind his sports show as well. Copped a lot for his Hodge scoop which turned out spot on.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Better not ping a hammy already missing McKenna

 

[pepsi]

I want 2 highlight reels from this guy. All his one on one contests that he wins. And his running bounces.

 

[Frazb]

Love saad's play. Only knock on him is twice tonight he bombed long from 60-65 out only for the ball be knocked over the line for a behind. Prefer to see him pop them up 20mts infront of goal.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

He will never get enough credit for his defensive ability and it's genuinely criminal. He is an absolute gun in one-on-ones.

Every time I see his opponent going for a mark and he's within range, I just know they are going to drop it and he will scoot away with it. Total faith.

 

[naraku]

Love Saad.
Stringer and Smith get there accolades- rightly so too- but Saad has practically been invisible to most outside EFC and us fan's. He's gotta be one of the most in-form HBF in the comp !

 

[Lance Uppercut]

So much this

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

His defensive input has improved out of sight don't think he was like that at GC

 

[akiva]

Even when he's mismatched 1-on-1 with a guy twice his size you trust him to spoil the ball.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

No he was very good last year at Gold Coast. Prior to last year thought he could be shaky. It was a big focus and improvement for him prior to and during last year.

 

[Frazb]

Given the height difference how will saad go against breust? Breust is in great form as is saad and is a matchup im most looking forward too if it happens.

Breust is only 6 cm taller. Not a factor. Footy smarts more of a worry

 

[Beerfish]

So relieved to see him sitting up compos mentis on the bench in that second quarter. That was absolutely sickening. He was out before he hit the turf.

 

[Lore]

Seems alright but an 'unknown' still for next week

what a highlight reel!
Gee I hope this guy will get the chance to get his pistons pumping on a warm and sunny September Saturday at the G.

 

[eth-dog]

Wow. Has played 22 games for us, 12 wins. 48 games for GC, 13 wins. Amazing, isn't it?

 

[Zach Package]

I immediately fell in love when he ran front on into two Adelaide players and just bounced off and kept running in round one.

He’s so wholesome

What a player Saad has been for us already. I will say I'm a little disappointed the highlight reel is only 2 minutes long. Could easily have been 10 minutes.

 

[Lore]

Wasn't planning to bump threads past third place in the Crichton but noticed this guy got 4th. Overshadowed by Smith for recruit of the year I think, but still a ripper player. Didn't think much of it when we got him, but sure wouldn't let him leave now that he's here

 

[ghostdog]

When Francis really starts to get some games into him and Ridley finds his way, the rebounding capacity of our backline will look fearsome. Well done, Saady!

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Underated season.

Wont be long till he matches Longys goal
