He is the next Adrian McAdam
How so?
You mean heâll kick a lot of goals one year then disappear?
In 1993, he joined John Longmire and Wayne Carey in the North Melbourne forward line and kicked 7 goals on his debut. His goal tally was the most ever by a North Melbourne player on debut and he followed it up with 10 goals against Sydney the following week and then 6 goals against Footscray. This gave him a total of 23 goals from his first three games in the AFL (which is still a record) and he finished the year with 68 goals from his 17 games.[1] He was unable to repeat this performance in 1994 and, after managing just one game in 1995, his league career was effectively over.

Maybe⌠bit more that he is an utter freak at football.

But he does make Marty Gleeson look like Kevin Smith

He would offer absolutely nothing IMO.

Bags wonât be done for at least 12 months. Gives Heppell (and McNeice) another season to give selectors/recruiters a view that they can fill his shoes when he goes.
Although I think âoffers absolutely nothingâ is a bit harsh, I agree right now he is nowhere near consideration.
I find this opinion very Saad.
If we get Saad (which would please me), is he really a Bags replacement or a McGrath/Kelly replacement? Weâre going to need a lock down option to replace Bags.
I was against Saad early as I thought he was purely a shortish attacking HBF, and I didnât think we needed him. But someone put up a stat that indicated he goes alright in the defensive stakes.
While I have no idea how true that is, because quite honestly who watches GCS, it could mean that Saad might make a very good Baguley replacement. And we definitely need one of those.
Having a player with both attacking and defensive skills also seems to match Worsfolds MO.

All agreed. Really, weâd like two! 
Hopefully Saad and McNeice can fill those two roles, or Redman.
Gives us 12 months to look for someone who might cut it. AHep ainât it. Not sure McNeice is either.

I would rather they fill those two roles than fill Redman.

Where did I say he would?
Whoops meant for Henryâs Angry Pil.
Nick Hind running a very handy 2.92 secs for the 20m sprint at the Vic state combine today. This wouldâve placed him 6th at the national combine.
Alex Boyse also with a good time of 2.98 secs to be the second quickest of the VFL guys. That time wouldâve been just outside the top 10 at the national combine.

I like Nick Hind.
If he doesnât get a shot with us I hope he still gets a shot.
Kicked straight to the opposition twice in that short clip. Will fit right in!
