Ahmed Saad

He is still only 32!
Almost as small as Lonie.
Did Lonie squeeze him out?

Note that 2014 was when we was re-recruited. No? After the ban. He played the first four games of 2015 and then gonsky.


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

The eyes still sees plenty. They give context.

When you let your opponent lead you to the ball and defend, your motivation to tackle is primed, particularly inside the 50.

But when they get the ball, brush passed you and run away with it, where is that stat recorded?

Lonie had all the ability, but fell victim to his own weaknesses.

When was in best form he played a team game. When he struggled he looked very poorly skilled and void of motivation to do better, with the frusyrated shake of the fist and the punch into the turf. Lonie trademarks.

This is why I didn't always understand the love for Long as a forward. (Apart from disposal) And Parker..I mean at least they get there to contest, but not good enough..
