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

[Lore]

Progressing well, still hoping to be available against Fremantle. Update:

Athletic defender Adam Saad will also be subjected to a fitness test after making sharp progress in his recovery from a minor hamstring strain.

“‘Saady’ is progressing well, we’ll be getting a good look at him again tomorrow (Wednesday) and weighing up his availability.

“It would be an early return from a hamstring if he was to come back, but it’s a minor injury, so we’ll be weighing all of those things up.”

Star defender in the mix

Two-time All Australian Michael Hurley is in the mix to return for Essendon’s crucial clash with Fremantle.

Probably needed 3 off but we'll pick him anyways is what i read from that.

 

[JayJ20]

Our most important player

Agree. Doesn't get the recognition he deserves from the media. Will be close to winning our best and fairest this year. A great pick up and the best small defender we have had in a long long time.

 

[DERO]

A good example of what real fitness is in footy. Doesn’t win 3km time trials but gives run and repeat efforts all game, every game. And rarely misses a game.

Your fault.

 

[Vander18]

Your fault.

FMD....what was I thinking?

Apologies to all.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

LMAO that Saad didn’t make the AA 40 man squad.

Sums up what I think of those teams.

 

[Stopher]

Overlooked for the AA squad. Probably the worst time to have a few kicked on you. Ah well, he can remain under the radar.

 

[Beerfish]

******* stupid popularity contest voted for by media morons.

Who would you take out to put him in?

 

[Runk]

The one Bomber you would've thought was a lock for at least the squad completely overlooked. I'm unsure as to how GAJ, Sciliy or Rampe are in there? Would not have rated this year as their best at all. Sam Lloyd and Lachie Whitfield hugely unlucky not to get in. Anyhoo...#wankfest

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Wow, thought he was a chance for final squad

 

[Mr Bultitude]

Who would you take out to put him in?

Sicily.

 

[Hird05]

Robbed. Typical from the twats who hate bombers. Probably Dal Santo picked them

 

[vast]

Houli does his role well but does he ever have an opponent to defend?

Gary has still been the best half forward this year. Sicily and Rampe have been far better than stat padder Lloyd.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Who would you take out to put him in?

Houli and Rampe without even thinking about it.

I'm pretty sure GAJ doesn't have to play his best footy to be All Australian standard.

Not going to lose sleep over it either way.

 

[ghostdog]

Absolute joke. Saad would be a walk up start in every team in the comp.

Well yes, but so would someone like Walla but that doesn't mean he's close to the AA squad. Though Saad should be there

So you agree. Glad we cleared that up

 

[windyhill]

That's disgraceful

So be it with Lloyd, but I'd argue Saad has had a better year than Rampe and Sicily. Oh well....

 

[DapperJong]

Sicily.

Better yet, Gary Ablett Junior.
