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

[Gabe251]

Definitely seems like he can play right now, which is probably the right move for our list. We have enough prospective picks sitting in VFL right now. We need role players.

 

[dank420_]

I thought we needed a small forward

He’s quick enough to play two positions at once

 

[Ati Tude]

Really interesting looking at the improvement in his stats at VFL level.

Pretty low in hit outs…

 

[Howard Moon]

Sounds like another version of Hind?

 

[eth-dog]

My proper write up:

Saad El Hawli is a speed demon who went to Werribee as a small forward and struggled for consistency, before moving to the Bullants and spending most of his time off half back where he uses his pace and to break lines and rebound. At 184 cm he leans on the smaller side. He can also play on a wing but has done his best work from behind the ball.

Strengths:

• Speed
• Kicking
• Rebounding

Improvements:

• Marking
• Defense

I feel like Dodo picked him for his name alone; making up for 2 lost players!


Seriously though, seems like a good and suitable choice for what we need. Welcome Saad!

Nick Bryan is still a bit nervous.

Okay, Adam is obvious. The other?

Houli based on how the commentators pronounced his name.

That's very obscure. I like it!

I like his stats v the Hawkes. My kinda guy.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Why wasn’t he drafted back in the day?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I like it. Give us a lot of potential mid game levers to pull. Coverage or positional swaps for Martin, Hind, Duursma, ADJ, even McGrath.

and 23 yrs old.

 

[Call Me Cake]

You mean Rosa

 

[Ati Tude]

Okay, Adam is obvious. The other?

Irish (McKenna) presumably

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Personally I’d like a nickname that has something other than to do with other players with vaguely similar backgrounds.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

The real Saad

 

[maskmcgee]

Bring him in against Carlton to play as a defensive forward on Saad.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

 

[jmoo wan]

stoked he was still available at 13 - i had him a lot higher

 

[quotemokc]

Fair bit of competition at half back.

Roberts, Lual, El-Hawli.

And even then our best squad at that position is hard to crack.

 

[MattyB3150]

Sounds like another version of Hind?

Which is exactly what we need!

 

[Petrify]

Actually just remembered how thin we are for wing depth with Duursma going down & Cox's woes. Could fill in nicely immediately, not just in small forward position.

 

[eth-dog]

So, numbers 41-46 and 48 are untaken.
