Interesting that his concerns over the direction of the club appear to be the reason for his potential departure but his main suitors are Carlton and North rather than say the Tiges or Cats.
Traded Adam Saad [traded to Carlton with #48 and #78 for #8 and #87]

Blues aren't looking so bad.
Add Kemp to the midfield next year. Curnow hopefully gets back and strengthens that forward line.
If the cash is there from the Blues, you'd have to consider it. He was close to joining them too.
I'd say Geelong and Hawks would be out given the travel
Saints seem ok downback.
Dees, Blues or Dogs could be good suitors for him

Dogs are pretty well stocked so I think you can rule us out.
You won't get a top 10 pick
met our list manager?
If he's being offered upwards of 650k a year or more, we're well within reason to ask for a top 10 pick.
yeah, i put the blues, dogs and dees as the better teams for him to join (on the up).
When it comes to cash, i imagine it's Ess, North, maybe Carlton, maybe Melbourne who can offer the $$.

Forget the money you think he is being offered, as it really isnt a factor, he is not worth a top 10 pick
Maybe not top 10 but a pick in the 10-20 range.
Finished 3rd in the b&f and is regarded as one of the best small lock down defenders in the league that can break the lines
Who ever gets him will need to cough up
He is not worth a top 10 pick, especially being OOC

2nd rounder at best.
You forget who our list manager is
Doesn't matter what Meeson or Dodo think he is worth, the market will decide Saad's value, so he isn't worth a top 10 pick
So....does the market decide? Or does Arr0w decide?
You got one of them? No? Then we’ll have whatever you do have (pick 9 or something)

Saad's value probably sits in the 15-25 range, closer to 15. Nobody is going to give up a top 10 pick. Imagine he'll end up going for a good pick and a good player though.met our list manager?

ill take a pick around 20 and a player.
And whilst i agree on the price, his suitors don't hold that pick. And we don't have a lot of capital to send back in change.
Given how compromised and unknown this years draft is, pick 10 vs pick 15-18 is hard to differentiate given there is unlikely a clear view of who falls where.
Be an interesting trade period if we're looking at anywhere up to 3-5 players being key pieces. i might just switch off and check in when it's over.
You think he is worth a top 10 pick?
No, that won't happen
No matter which club, it will be swap of picks, that will value him as an early 2nd, a late 1st at best
top 3 B&F
Good chance for AA squad
Fielding offers reportedly as high as 650k plus
If it was free agency we'd be looking at pick 7 in compensation return.
Wondering if this needs to be an option the league looks at (voluntary free agency)
Plowman finished top 3, pantsed Walters, Papley and Cameron, will finish top 10 this year, but would still be only worth a mid 2nd. Let's stop using BNF's as a value of players
Saad is in his prime, and like most players of his age, he may maintain that form, but won't get better. Given his role, age, characteristics, he has 4 years max, before he starts to decline(like the majority of players of his ilk), add to that he is OOC
That's why he isn't worth a top 10 pick
