He's kicked 4 goals in 2.5 games FFS…

At the moment, right up there with AA milne for goals per game,

He's made a few comical errors in his first few games - who cares?

I like how he takes the game on and tries to run past an opponent, but if he had a left side he wouldnt have to run back onto his right...

My question is, do we just continue to barrack for him as a cult hero. or will it become too frustrating to watch an AFL able player that cant kick both sides?
UMMMM this comments is a bit Awekward now Batnoe.

Always a bit risky writing off players in their first few games.

Saad makes me HAPPY


The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules. 
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

We already have several players who can't kick both sides - Gilbert, CJ, Gram... is it any coincidence that these guys are the worst kicks in our side as well?


Considering that Gilbert ,CJ cant be trusted to kick with their main side let alone their right side............as long as he(Saad) is having a go and kicking goals and also those little 1% the rest will come.

i liked his set shot routine for the goal in the third. went back from 20 metres to about 60 metres from goal, then walked in slowly for about 35 metres of that "runup". strange.

I think what people are saying is that our players should be able to kick with both feet- at the same time...

Best game I've seen him play VFL or AFL and he kicked bags last year.... But 11 tackles was an awesome effort

Agreed. He is an inside small forward however when he gets the ball he is potent at finding the goals compared to Tez Milezz who is an outside mid who has the ball on a proverbial string.

His forward pressure was superb.

Probably better than anything Eddy or McQualter ever dished up.

Pretty good start to his career, looks like a gem of a pick up.
