Senior 42. Adam Saad

[The Old Dark Navy's]

 

[skadoosh]

The 2nd of our fast bros added in this trade period. Welcome!
Extremely excited to see him join and even more so to gel with the boys and provide some much needed speed up the field.
Watching his highlights, his kicking is nowhere near as poor people made out to be, he doesn't take any backward steps when contact arrives and loves a good fend-off from close range too.

He's a ****ing gun and we should have had him years ago, but for an incompetent recruiting department.

Was dominating for Coburg in the VFL under our noses, bunch of ****ing morons running the joint back then.

This is awesome

Looking forward to seeing Saad with ball in hand streaming out of the backline. Welcome

Nup. What we paid for him will always taint his play. When HBF is cheering him on, I'll be reminding him......I will be reminding him....

 

[marleyblue]

That's a seriously impressive highlights reel - speed, running bounces, goals but also excellent defensively. Now I'm excited!

 

[thylacine60]

This is awesome

Love it! Can't be good for Crippas shoulder however.

His defensive game is underrated. Even if he isn't playing a lockdown role, he will be help improve our defensive unit.

Like Williams, the Player ratings models (a few different ones) rate him highly.

Amazing point.
The inclusion of ZW, Saad and Fogarty brings speed first and foremost, but what stands out to me from all of their highlight packages is their willingness to chase and tackle. I love our 2020 team, but it was consistently frustrating to watch our boys jogging alongside opposition players or trying to corral them rather than tackling. I really hope the natural instinct to tackle is not drummed out of these boys, and rather that skill is embraced and encouraged of all CFC players.
That is the aspect of our game that when we get right will transform the team, will hopefully put an end to those godawful 5+ goal scoring runs and make us a real contender.

Welcome Adam.

In honour of your arrival I am going to dabke all the way down Sydney road.

 

[Thrawn]

Haappy to have him!

Welcome Adam.

We'll start a procession.

Great news.
Consider yourself at home

one of the family.

 

[Jimmae]

Great to have him on the list given our total lack of small defenders, but that's a shocking trade for us. That's the modern equivalent of the Brock McLean trade.

 

[David Sylvian]

Welcome Adam, looking forward to some sparkle and fizz, play your best, go well.

I don't care about Carlton, the list, success or whether we win premierships. All I care about is whether Dodo got one over us - that is all that matters !!

 

[Quazza]

Stoked to have him on board. Exactly the type we needed


Sidenote : after the media telling us of weeks we simply have to hand over pick 8 for him, can't wait to see our "D" report card for trade week

Welcome to Carlton and the Navy Blue Adam Saad.
Thanks for choosing our team. Best of luck in the years to come and we look forward to ongoing success for the Blues in the very near future.

 

[KJP7]

Interesting that his manager said we'll look to use him up the ground and use his assets, does this mean we rotate him through stoppages or a wing at time?

Perhaps alternating with Williams?

Are you being petulant about others melting?

You do realise that how you value a players' worth in a trade, has no bearing in how you would support him in the side or whether we need that type in the side.

Some of the calls of disgusting, embarrassing, feeble are just as bad in terms of discussion as the melts they are commenting on.

Let people adjust and move forward without the bullying rhetoric.
