I think the media stint has done him a world of good in terms of how he is now perceived and comes across.

ohhh
I kind of interpreted it more from a hammy perspective - ie shorter runs and kicks to preserve the hammies
Did you back many winners on Saturday?No problems at all Eskie gal.
I don’t usually get much info when I bump into these types at events as I don’t like to annoy them too much but happy to share the little snippets I do get
Any tips for the cup tomorrow?

The greatest world salad waffler in AFL history. Jargon filled nonsense. Cannot give a straight answer.
Up and down all day then finished poorly…. subbed out late !!
My top 5 for the Cup at this early stage…. 15-14-9-13-8
May end up backing the same horse I lost my money on last year….. Vauban

His insight is usually good (except his views on player contracts) but he is shocking at articulating it.
Do you know if he was alluding to Saad's, speed, stamina or the fact that he's suffered a permanent injury that prevents that (ie. ankle)?
He didn’t elaborate and I never pushed…
Said he can’t run and I interpreted it as he doesn’t have the tank to get up towards the total km’s that is required to play a wing or half forward role but the more I think about it he may well be meaning the recent injuries have really pulled him up.

Even Saad himself said a couple of years ago he doesn’t have a tank to play wing
That's the first thing I thought. Saady of 2022 had a lot more run in him.

He could answer a question in 5 words. Instead he rambles for 5 minutes until you forgot the question. Bores me senseless.
Not as bad as Dermie though.

You can see why he failed as a coach. He goes round in circles and bets each way.
Shoe-in for Mark Robinson replacemnet - just needs master the "drunken slur talk"

Mm. It's Gary Lyon isn't it?
Stramge choice...2 host types, but there you go.
Maybe Gerard will transition out

Fantastic, that's the kind of due diligence I want to see.
Much better forward, more inside leaning as a mid at this point in terms of build and skills.
Endurance base would be lower, game sense the big separator you'd think. But he's 22, and the Saints have tried to shoehorn him into being a key forward.

i was being flippant but he'd be a great pickup for the VFL team, think he's probably got NIck Graham syndrome where he isn't quite at the level to make it as an AFL player but that may also have been injuries or as Jimmae said, that they were insisting on turning a tall flanker into a key forward

The answer is: both.
194cm & 80 kgs at draft, 88 kgs last time it was recorded, and I assume that's gone up this year to about 92-94 kg.
Flipping flippancy...it always starts there...then its irony then sarcasm and eventually full blown cynicism.
Stop before its too late mate.......we are here for you...........
