Is Saad 191cm?

It seems he, our players and coach must think so as we are always kicking it to him as a leading forward, and mostly the taller opponent easily clears.

He does have one of the highest jumps in the league. Still....

It's a good point. Some times there is no option. So the player with the ball must then realise who his is kicking to and make allowances i.e. put it out in front or to the advantage. Kicking it in the the air is not to the advantage. It has been a long time since we have had a marking half forward - maybe Stephen Theodore was the last.

A player of his height needs to be one-touch or freakishly skilled. He is neither

We used to do the same to Milney. Saad is going through a classic case of second year blues. The structure of the forward setup and the abysmal standard of delivery aren't helping. It's all a bit disappointing, really.
