AFL Player #41: Saad El-Hawli - Signs on for 2025! - 14/8

[Wahooti Fandango]

In just his second game El Hawli established himself in the best 22. I don't even reckon it's close. He impacts in a way most Essendon listed players can't.

Hello Miss El Hawli.

Hello Miss El Hawli.

Mrs., thank you very much

Hello Miss El Hawli.

Is that you Mrs. Heppell?

The cat like anticipation was impressive that enabled him to kick a few goals. Was going for his fifth when he got injured - could have ended up with a bag in the ressies we haven't seen for a while. Not necessarily saying he is best 22 would need a greater viewing but wouldn't delist - 10 others that could go before him.

This guy looked very good in last game he played. Sign him up ..prefer this guy on the wing to the two talls

How did you know?!

He's back this week! If he comes back from injury well, maybe we can see him debut at AFL level vs Sydney or Brisbane. Likely Brisbane.

Honestly hope we just chuck him in the deep end this week. Bring him in for Duursma and see how he goes for three weeks.

Me too. Could provide our side some much needed spark.

Mid season draft pick off a 6-8 week ankle injury?
Nah putting him in the seniors isn't doing him any favours.
Get couple games at VFL then maybe against Brisbane when the seasons dead, at least set him up to succeed

Straight in against Brisbane at the Gabba.

Sounds like a setup for success.

Well it's not "straight" in because he would have had at least a little ramp, I only meant if you were going to play him at all in seniors and the seasons dead that's the game you would do it and just say go have at it, hence the maybe.

Injury news: El-Hawli a chance to return

Seems a fair leap from ‘If he gets through he may play VFL’, probably on limited minutes to ‘straight into the seniors’.

 

[fishardansin]

Just sign him up for next year and get a full professional preseason into him for the first time in his life.

I would love him up forward, plus that academy kid we're in line for. Play Perkins and Stringer as mid/forwards and Martin as forward. We'd finally have some spark up there to go with Caddy, Langford and Bryan/2MP (we can only play 2MP if we have one ruck).

Give Hind one more year in defense and play an elite user of the ball back there. Hind can replace the dash of Martin, but have an elite ball user who doesn't turn it over like Martin.

I think El-Hawli has a place in our future.

 

[Hird05]

Looked excellent. Bring him in next week thanks. The man is ready

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Gets a game next week surely.

Was blowing a bit at certain stages .

Was blowing a bit at certain stages .

Though I'm normally not a fan of the practice, he seem a perfect candidate to debut as a sub.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Even unfit he’s a better option than a few others currently in the team. Hope he plays next two games.

 

[div12ressie]

Would be one reason to watch next week's game if he was to debut

 

[Vindicater]

Though I'm normally not a fan of the practice, he seem a perfect candidate to debut as a sub.

I would debut him on the ground still. The result does not matter. Gives him a taste of the work rate needed. I would rather him blowing up after halftime than whatever Menzie brings.

 

[Megabattimus]

Get him in for Cox.
