Is it just me or does Fog look like a young Murphy. I could certainly see him perhaps replacing the little champion in 2022.

And Saad just looks SO HAPPY to be a Blue. The highlight reel for him next year will be off the charts!!!

Just watched the Woof's highlights.......he was electric!! What a player and awesome that he has such a great connection with Saad.

Be almost poetic if Saad took the number 39 but I guess 42 will work - one of our revered numbers !!

Hope we see guys like Ang and Kouta back in the rooms.

We overpaid in a year where lists are contracting, there's a strong top 30 for our list and 22 needs, and lots of players are changing clubs under exceptional circumstances.

Too much Old Carlton about this one, which has no place in modern football. None of this has much to do with Adam Saad

the player, however, so I'll leave it at this slightly lengthier explanation.

Old Carlton? We paid roughly market value in terms of $$ and maybe slightly overs in terms of trade value/assets. He fits a need and makes the list stronger at a time when draft picks/young kids are less valuable to us in list terms than a mature, ready-made player who is at the top of his game for his position.
This is almost the opposite of old Carlton. Old Carlton would ignore immediate needs and throw ridiculous money at the best players, regardless of need.
You could make an argument that the Williams signing is closer to old Carlton than Saad, but I wouldn't even agree with that.

So what you're saying is that we're due another legend? That's my take.

Ang, Adam and the days of kick-to-kick

Carlton cult hero Ang Christou tells the story of his next door neighbour, Adam Saad.

Great little story

Can we get some budding Auskick kids to move in next door to Cripps, Walsh and Weiters?

was quite serviceable, even taking a turn in the ruck despite only being 190cm tall (only 190cm says he who is 174cm on a good day).

[thylacine60]

Good work, 99. Never heard of George but love the description "come through style of play". Like that better than "rebounding" or "line breaking".

They have holes everywhere now, other than for 180cm midfielders........therefore they'll take 3 * 180cm midfielders
