Re: Welcome back Ahmed Saad
I welcome him back
I am still concerned he is better suited to footy a few years back, Milne was one of the very few recently who made it as a specialist small forward that didn't have midfield time.
However I'm caught up in the romance of it....
Best of luck Saad![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Welcome back Ahmed Saad
I'm not a huge Saad fan but there is definitely a role for the small forward. Yes, it's been diminished but it isn't entirely obsolete. I could name players in every squad that are dedicated small forward. And looking at the current make up of our list, our brainstrust certainly sees value in small forwards.SainterK wrote:I welcome him back

Look it's more PR and more Saints talk in the media but not in a bad way.

Welcome home Ahmed.
I don't know if you'll make it, but I have a sneaking suspicion you will and I'm very glad that will be with us, and not some other mob. Hope you kick a poultice for Sandy and force your way back in.
Fortius quo fidelius. It works both ways.

Re: Welcome back Ahmed Saad
Good luck Ahmed. You will need to find much, much more of the pill than you did in your last season with us if you want a future in the AFL. Hope you can.

Great interview on SEN. You could hear the grin from ear to ear. He spoke really well - if attitude is any indicator, he'll make a genuine contribution next year.

Ahmed Saad looks like he's headed to @CarltonFC in the preseason draft
#AFL
so wonder where the pressure came from for him to go back to saints? or were blues not able....

And I'm in the 'rate him' party.
I suspect his form drop would've been linked to worry about the impending announcement of having failed that Viking test, and hasn't it also been posted on here that he was carrying an injury... shoulder or something(?) Can anyone help on that count?
Finally, I have no inside knowledge, but I'm tipping that in 2015 we'll get to see the newly developed Ahmed Sasd left foot.

"Tony Sheahan™ @TonySheahan 13h13 hours ago
@emtwenty it's not draft tampering. Ask expert @paigecardona . He did not wish to return to scene of crime, so to speak"
So the suggestion is that Carlton were going to take him later in the Rookie Draft but St Kilda beat them to it. Whether Saad did not want to return to Saints is interesting!

Re: Welcome back Ahmed Saad
My best guess on the Sheahan stuff is that when Saad was interviewed by the blues, and in light of him wanting to get back 'somewhere', he said he'd welcome starting a fresh at a new club. By the time this tidbit filtered to the media's bottom feeders it had somehow become that he was desperate for a 'new' start, which Saad probably never implied.

Re: Welcome back Ahmed Saad
I heard the SEN interview and found it very encouraging. Ahmed came across as very excited to be back, and his enthusiasm for rejoining the Saints was palpable. For what it's worth, I'm more than happy to read a positive story regarding this young man. Go Ahmed!
