massive crowd favourite too........

Only about 6ft. Not that big.

Even better that * gave us back a late pick (#48) which we then traded to Sydney along with our 2021 third rounder for pick 31. We used this (it became pick 37 with f/s and academy picks) to get Corey Durdin.

Nice little pick up there.

Hidden gem of the trade. Lovely!

Its going to be fantastic hearing the crowd on GF day as he picks up the ball... oh the expectation... the frisson

A little "booo" from some Essendon dork...

Career year. This is current season vs his last at Ess. Look at the number of bounces. Ess tried to turn him into a stay at home defender.

But pretty great stats for him in shortened games in 2020.

Think we can end the debate Saad > Hind from the Essendon supporters.

He has been worth a FRP. Outstanding player.

Should be in Top 3 B n F. A lot of players can win in this year.

Doc will win the best and fairest if he can hold off the steam train that is Sam Walsh

81 bounces so far this year

Next best........ Nick Hind

Like he has a bonus trigger point for these.

Gone from 0.7 bounces to 6.2 in a couple of seasons. There must be some kind of bounce-related KPI incentive in his contract.

Is it fair to say Saad is now one of our top 5 most important players?

Consumate professional who is becoming a fan favourite. His game against Geelong was sublime and very influential.

Bull at a gate 100% of the time. Love his work. Hoping he can level down a tad in dying stages of games when he has the ball. That's my only criticism of him.

Absolute gun!

 

[T2B_]

Still remember that pre-season game he tore us apart playing for *.

Very glad he's now doing that for us against other teams.

Yeah. Has developed into a super footballer, easily in our top 5 IMO.

But, he’s had moments in both games thus far where he’s unnecessarily turned the ball over due to hubris.

It’s disappointing play from such an experienced footballer.

Agree. As mentioned, there's times to go and times to slow. He needs to sense the occasion when we need it slow.
