Saad to honour Christchurch victims

Essendon defender Adam Saad will wear specialised boots for Sunday’s round one clash against GWS in honour of the victims of the Christchurch tragedy.

In conjunction with Puma, Saad will run out with the message #westandtogether on his boots alongside the date of the attack, which claimed the lives of at least 50 people last week.

All fans will then have the opportunity to bid for them online, with all proceeds of the auction to be donated to the victims.

The 24-year-old said he wanted to honour the victims of the mass killing, which took place last Friday in two mosques in New Zealand, with a message of unity.

Essendon and GWS players will join all other AFL teams this weekend by wearing black armbands in memory of the victims.

Bidding for the boots will close at 7pm AEDT on March 29.

Such a good player. His defending one-on-one really is superb.

 

[JayJ20]

Essendon supporters sleep on him.

Seriously good. I expected his run and dash, but didn’t realise he was that strong in the contest, especially one-on-one.

Very consistent too. Fast becoming one of our most important players. We look the most threatening when he breaks the lines.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Outnumbered and out of position a few times and still managed to at least halve the contest. Saad, Hurley and Frang were the only reason it was kept so close. Could have been much worse without those three (HM to Ambrose too).

Said blokes will be under siege again this week if our midfield isn't going to function or work two ways.
The amount of entries the dees got against a fully functional Geelong outfit was frightening

 

[VelvetSledge]

I just love him. Shining light in a very dark storm.

I just love him. Shining light in a very dark storm.

One of maybe 6 players putting in every week
Hurls, Saad, Francis, McGrath, Smith and Shiel are carrying us
Ridley too before he got dropped.

 

[Yoda_]

Is he the most under rated player in the comp?

Genuinely does the job most weeks with minimal of fuss despite the plaudits going to his most honoured team mates like Hurley and Francis.

Fast becoming one of my favourites now

There were a few comments in the game thread last night about stringer probably leading our B&F which he may well be doing but...Saad would be very close I think.

Umps hated him last night

They really are going hard on arms around the waist even if no actual holding is going on. Would be nice if they noticed it at the other end a bit more.

Yeah I would have Adam and Jake 1 and 2.

Had his jumper pulled by Petracca in a marking contest and nothing, wasn’t happy with how he was treated in general by the umps.

Petracca got away with fist fulls of jumpers at almost every contest he was in, was a joke.

Honestly love this guy. Going to go watch his little brother make his Coburg debut later today too!

any resemblances?

any resemblances?

Very similar, less polish

 

[Howard Moon]

I like his 1v1 work on dangerous players but I prefer when he comes in with the spoil from a metre or two away using his closing speed.

When he stays tight he has a habit of resting his arm around the players guts, he's not holding but the umps always ping him for the hold.

 

[rumply]

Nice clean game from Adam yesterday - 18 effective disposals @ 100% efficiency.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

That intercept mark he took in the last wow we

 

[eth-dog]

Leading the BnF right now. Been great.
