Singling out Saad is bizarre.

I missed that criticism. Yep bizarre.
I thought Saad and Williams are the only 2 who put the burners on and give us some creativity, week in week out.
Ask yourself what impact do they have on the result.
They both play as loose defenders
Why not try Saad further up the ground where we can use his pace to pressure. It’s sadly lacking in our game. Saad has played one position his whole career
On $650000 for 5 years and a first pick he needs to be more versatile
Williams had the most ineffective 36 possessions against GC
He has been tryed up the ground and no good.
Add Docherty as the third small defender.
They don’t impact the game enough.
I repeat we won’t take the next step unless we become better as a team when the opposition has the ball in space. Not just when the ball is in our defensive half
Saad and Williams should be at their peak in their footy careers
As you guys know I have had a problem with our overall recruiting strategy since 2018 when we gave up the farm for Setterfield and McGovern
It’s a general thought I have
Not that I expect every trade to be a success
The Brad Hill trade is ridiculous and he is only playing well because the team has improved overall
But overall the Saints and the Dockers have really got some gold with some late and rookie picks
I saw the problem. It wasn't anything to do with Saad or Williams. They get the ball and there's no one presenting. No one. How can Williams be more effective.
I know what you're trying to suggest with the comment "Williams had the most ineffective 36 possessions against GC", but that is so wrong to say. Its too Putin like for me. Putin justifies raiding Ukraine because he call them Nazis which they aren't. You call 36 possessions ineffective, which they weren't. Williams did a lot of great things in last week's win. Give me 36 possessions any day. You're too bias when it comes to saad and williams keogh.
I understand your gripe with recruitment, but lets get real about their performances and forget what happened in the past and what they cost. Anyway $650,000 for Saad is a great investment. He tries his best week in week out.
Brad Hill changed position from wing to HB to HF and it worked out last week. Who gives a rats arse about Brad Hill anyway?
and your last line about good late and rookie selections, which I agree, but what does that have to do with Williams and saad? let alone writing them off because they weren't late picks or rookies. Surely you can see there's something really wrong going on with that thought process.
