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

[eth-dog]

AA form IMO

 

[JayJ20]

Pick 35, stuff all.

Seriously? Pick 35 only? Wow.

AA form IMO

Yep agreed.

 

[HirdyLannister]

His closing speed is elite.

 

[boncer34]

Goal of the week

 

[Old Campaigner]

I wonder what McEvoy called him to start all that.

 

[JayJ20]

Saad...

AA year.

 

[naraku]

Perhaps the most underrated player in our side?
Absolute jet, and yes, AA squad at least.

 

[blitzer]

It's amazing how comfortable I feel when the opposition is about to mark and Saad is within about 15 metres. I'm just like "oh Saad will get there and win this ball". Not to mention his rebound is devastating between his running and long penetrating kicking. Has it all as a small defender.

I agree he's a very strong contender for AA this year and would be in the side if it was picked tomorrow.

dunno who under rates him.

 

[Highly Evolved]

Was everywhere tonight. Love his speedy intercept work.

 

[windyhill]

Still can't believe we got him.

 

[eth-dog]

GOTY. Was awesome.

 

[mad_monkey_j]

He's just so ******* good.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

All Australian

What a *in pickup he’s been

[windyhill]

Out of my seat before he kicked it.

 

[JayJ20]

Has to be close to the most underrated Essendon player not just by opposition supporters, but by Essendon supporters as well.

When he is near a contest or if he has the ball in his hand, I feel at ease. That goal had me up.

One of the best one-on-one defenders in the competition.

Not sure we don't rate him but yeah, rarely loses a 1 on 1. I am the same, feel relieved when he is anywhere near the ball. Absolute gun

Needs more pages on this site.

I’m sure we rate him, but if McGrath has a season like him, we’d be seeing pages upon pages of commentary.

And his kicking never seems to miss a target, and not just sideways looking for space.


Effective disposals by foot would be good to get a look at.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Beam me up Scotty.

I think everyone that's not at or supporting EFC.

 

[EnolaGay]

Currently our best recruit of the 4, and that's saying something.

Of the 3, let's give Shiel more than 12 games in a new system
