I would like to see them reduced to a minute each. That way, we can get the agony over and done with quickly. In fact, perhaps we can just end it after the toss of the coin. We just might win a flag that way.plugger66 wrote:..Think you will find quarters are shorter in the next couple of years.

Maybe we can nick name him "Bangles" - he walks like an Egyptiansaintspremiers wrote:He's Egyptian and is unique for his goal kicking.

This is how Fast Forward could do the skit.jonesy said :
You could picture the old days of 'fast forward' doing a skit on Saad's technique, the walk would go for about 57 kms, they'd keep cutting to it right throughout the 1 hour show
Saad lines up for goal at the Gabba.
He walks out of the ground and down the Pacific Highway, past the SCG, then down the Hume Hwy.
He reaches Etihad Stadium and appears from out of the race.
The Saints fans go wild.
He finally kicks the ball.
Ahmed scores a behind.
Re: God Saad's goal routine annoys me
Before the game already did something like that...didn't they?
Was on one of those shows

Re: God Saad's goal routine annoys me
I could not find a link to BTG.
But I did find this.
His run ups are not always slow, or straight.
Got a luv that bounce.
(I know this is not a set shot, but it is worth watching again)

I think I remember a paul hogan skit along those lines, he was dressed up as dennis lilllee and ran in from suburbs away... 'no ball!'Majority wrote:This is how Fast Forward could do the skit.jonesy said :

Re: God Saad's goal routine annoys me
What if the siren sounds after Saad's mark? How long does he have then?plugger66 wrote:Life Long Saint wrote:I still maintain that there are many other rules that need amending before this one.
The simpler way to reduce dead time is to blow time on when the player is taking his shot. Problem solved!
And make the game at least 10 minutes longer. They whinge enough as it is. Think you will find quarters are shorter in the next couple of years.

As long as he likes. The quarter is over. Doesnt extend the game at all. All it does is make the beer line longer.

Reckon the umpire or the coaches might make him kick it a bit quicker.

Re: God Saad's goal routine annoys me
interesting question
be good to know what would happen
at the end of qtrs 1,2,3 and the final siren
he cant play on so i wonder how much time you would actually have?
as long as you like i guess
imagine it
a final
kick after the siren to win
lining up, shiting yourself so you take your time deep breaths close the eyes, psych up start walking in and the ump blows the whistle and says sorry you took too long lol

The umpire wouldn't blow the whistle and make the call even though that's what he should do.
Umpires testies drop and a far latter age than your average male (if they drop at all). In general, they're absolute pretenders of human beings.
Not quite as bad as ticket-inspectors, but my love for footy exceeds that of my love for public transportation.

Yep by the coaches who want to speak to players. if its after the game by the training staff who want to warm them down.

Re: God Saad's goal routine annoys me
Another question…
Can the opposing team form a human pyramid in the goal square to spoil the shot for goal?

Re: God Saad's goal routine annoys me

He can push the pram as much as he wants as long as there's 6 points at the end of the walk. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: God Saad's goal routine annoys me
Nearly everything about Saad makes me more relaxed about where the team is going and reg: the mummy walk....
B E A U T I F U L !
Listening to the Canberra game on the radio i noticed Aaron Lord stating confidently each time Ahmed walked in that he would kick the goal. Remembering Plugger and his similar approach it is a nice echo of plugger's technique. I love it tthat Ahmed does it his very well practised way and that he is kicking goals for St. Kilda.
Ahmed is fantastic, more,more!

The boy can play and we can build a defence around him that will have respect.
