Carlton board nutting themselves over links to him, but surely this whole this is just posturing between Saad and the Bombers. I expect he eventually re-signs

Tigers if they can free up the cap space is my hunch.

Stevo reporting on ch7 he is likely to leave Essendon with Melbourne and North leading the race. Would be a fantastic pickup for Melbourne but geez we'd give up a bit for him.
Tracc please......pretty please
If he goes the board should be fired.
Are you serious? How could they afford to chase anyone for the next 2-3 years is beyond me....
Rance retired before this season so we would be able to effectively carry over his money from this year + next year where he was also under contract. Should free up close to 1.5 mil for next year that wasnt planned for. But with the cap cuts i cant see us chasing much.

Essendon might be feeling the Hooker/Heppell/Hurley deals now, although I reckon if Daniher leaves Saad won't go.

What's he worth in a trade?
Mid to late first rounder as an uncontracted player I'd say. Went for a 2nd round pick to Essendon, definitely at least AA squad worthy now, but loses value as uncontracted. See what Melbourne do with Brayshaw and a few others too.
This is Essendon we are talking about.. They will want a top 5 pick..
First rounder

Apparently the issue is length as opposed to $$$.
He wants 5, we were at 3 but now are tentatively at 4 according to Edmund at SEN.
Also worth noting i think that there is still alot of unknown in list management circles as the extent of list/salary cap cuts are still in flux. I imagine the Saad situation escalates either way quickly once list parameters are finalised

If he wants North $ he can walk straight to the PSD if Dodo must "win" the trade
No chance, not a need for us. We have Short, Baker and Vlastuin who are all locks and very good players.
Saad is a good player but he would be surplus to our needs. We have weaknesses in midfield clearances and lack of ruck depth. Also Riewoldt probably only has a year left so we'll potentially need to start looking for a replacement very soon. They are all needs to be addressed before looking at someone like Saad
Probably the last player we need at the moment with Houli still around another 2 years imo
Jayden Short
Liam Baker
Oleg Markov
Egg-Smith
all can play this position and have all shown good signs this year with the games they have played
