A crumbing small forward, Saad was picked up in the 2011 trade period by St Kilda.
2012 saw Saad showcase his full repertoire of skills and trickery in the Saints forward half, not consigning himself to just crumbing, but also playing as a lead-up forward on occasion.
He was St Kilda’s third highest goal kicker for the year with 28, and established himself in the senior team by the halfway point.
His regimented and ultimately effective set-shot approach drew attention to him last season, and in 2013 he is likely to form a deadly three-pronged mosquito fleet with Milne and Milera.

Ahmed had a wonderful year. He’s a really quick small forward who can kick goals on a lead and mark but also be a really good crumber. Needs to work hard over the off season to ensure he doesn’t undo the good work he’s done this year. He’s got some real strengths that are elite by AFL standards and we need to make sure he stays on top of them.
