The saints have two rookie spots available and who they take will depend on how long saad is suspended for. One spot is earmarked for him depending on his penalty

Re: ahmed saad decision will be today
Good for Ahmed and the club that it will be sooner rather than later (and in time for rookie draft), whatever the outcome.
Fingers crossed for something less than the maximum.

Re: ahmed saad decision will be today
If the AFL can't get a guaranteed ruling before the rookie draft surely the club can negotiate an extra spot on the rookie list so it doesn't hinder us taking an extra player in the rookie draft.

D-Day for Ahmed today!
Savatage that would be the afl working for St. Kilda for once. If so could be the beginning of a new era and very soon now swap our stadium deal with collingwood or hawthorn so St.Kilda can have a turn at some lucrative financial dealings.
Could be all changing and heading in a new direction even as we speak.
GO SAINTS!

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

Re: ahmed saad decision will be today
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-11-26/s ... s-his-fate
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>AHMED Saad has been informed of his fate after a hearing of the AFL's Anti-Doping Tribunal hearing earlier this month, AFL.com.au understands.
The delisted St Kilda forward was hopeful of being re-drafted by the club in Wednesday's rookie draft.
Saad's management confirmed the ball was in the player's court, indicating it was considering a response.
Under ASADA rules, all parties have 21 days to respond to the Tribunal ruling – meaning the AFL and St Kilda could not comment when contacted on Tuesday.

Why would we bother doing that. he cant play next year and without knocking the guy if we want him the year after he will be available because no one else we probably want him. Wasted pick if we rookie him.

I know that and I am nearly always for the players but in this case it a wasted pick and we can do the right thing the year after if we want to. There is no point him being on the rookie list next year unless you can tell me what it acheives for Saad and our club.

Re: ahmed saad decision will be today
Lets all just keep our fingers crossed for the guy. ASADA/WADA have 30 days to appeal if they want !!
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Re: ahmed saad decision will be today
Could not agree more, surely he can't be on a list anyway, he's not allowed to be paid or around a club...plugger66 wrote:Hallalj#3 wrote:Because their not pieces of meat.. It's a human being and there looking after him as good clubs should.plugger66 wrote:

Re: ahmed saad decision will be today
If they do rookie him it keeps him on the list, may be good for morale within the playing group, and I also assume will cost the club nothing in wages if he is not allowed to receive any money.plugger66 wrote: I know that and I am nearly always for the players but in this case it a wasted pick and we can do the right thing the year after if we want to.

So they may see it as low risk and cost for a perceived benefit.

Re: ahmed saad decision will be today
The club would need to weigh up his value to the team/club against someone else. Then, and ONLY then will they be in a position to make a decision. We also need to keep in mind that ASADA/WADA have 30 days in which to appeal the decision !!plugger66 wrote:

How would other players feel good though. He isnt allowed to train so I doubt he will just come and visit to say hello. What happens if we miss the next Milne just so we are nice. We werent nice to Winmar the year before when we delisted with a year to go on his contract. I doubt any other club would do it. And we can get him the next year anyway.

And if he did,
I'm sure the decision would be appealed, just like the case of the 2 VFL players

Re: ahmed saad decision will be today
I agree with you MM. Cant really be anything else. Prob back date it to August. And really that is how it should be.
