Not so sure anymore. This new rule change is a great result for Saad and the Blues. Herald Sun article claiming he is every chance to be the recruit of the year.
The footage of him burning the stationary man on the mark in the middle of the ground and hitting Cripps at FF has to get all Blues excited.
Fast half back flankers stocks have just risen.
Our game plan isn’t built around precise kicking, it is long repeat inside 50s
he suits it perfectly
Is this a joke?Omg Pick 8 this could end up one of the all time worse trades if blues don't win a flag with saad and essendon have a stud player.
You crazyWhat a waste of money (pick) like 750 thousand+ a year on a back flanker when not in flag contention. Tell me what premiership teams have spent 750/800 plus a year on two half back flankers and won the premiership?
Maybe wait until he plays a game before comparing him to established players.Zach Reid is who we took with the Saad pick, could've been a handy Jones replacement and Weitering partner.

Hodge would’ve probably been the Hawks highest paid player.Shhhh 3 flags from cats, hawks and us with zero overpaid back flankers says otherwise.

I would have disagreed to this before seeing it this year. Played the more defensive role at Essendon than Carlton, where he was top 5 (i think) in the best and fairest a couple of years running.big Saad fan but I think he’s better in the more defensive role who offers run then as a distributor across HBF.
He's been great, it's a team structure thing, let him attack then if we turn it over no one covers and he looks exposed.I would have disagreed to this before seeing it this year.

I would have thought being off the leash a little more at Carlton would have suited his running game. And been more influential. But it seems to have had the opposite effect.

You obviously haven’t seen many Carlton games this year. Saad has been great. Will finish top 5 in our B & F. It’s the players around him and the lack of defensive structure that has not allowed him to be as creative as he (and CFC) would like him to be.I would have disagreed to this before seeing it this year.

How exactly?The Cerra deal highlights just good this deal was for Essendon
How exactly?
I for one am glad we got Saad over Zach Reid.
Well that's sorta why we got a decent pick back, which we turned into Durdin who good be a great future small forward for us.
The "deal" in its entirety is yet to be seen.
