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

[D3K91]

Not sure where we play this guy - he’s shown he can kick a goal in the reserves but will that translate to AFL level? Surely behind Duursma and Martin to start on the wing… Or is he a half back flanker - probably competing with Roberts potentially Merrett and Shiel here…
I think maybe we will see him tried in all these roles this year - hopefully he brings some spark and much needed X-factor to the team

Reckon he starts at HBF and pushes to the wing when we want to give Martin a run through midfield

There’s a HB spot up for grabs but I think Sub seems most likely.

His speed/dynamicism + ability to play all over the ground makes him a perfect candidate for the role.

Yes haven't thought of that - he would be a good SUB given his versatility!

issue is you cant play sub every week, you might only get 1qrt in a game.. think half back is his go, sadd type role should suit..

once the season starts a spot normally opens up.

But yeah HB, Wing, HF, Sub all places where he should be able to contribute.

I was hoping the sub would be canned and just have 5 on the bench.
