While I think that Saddington needed to bulk up to hold his own against big forwards I fear he might lose further pace. I see him as pretty slow actually and I think he's more suited to a flank anyway. Does anybody else agree with this assessment? I also would like to see his kicking skills improve, he seems to mainly handball because I think generally he is an ordinary kick.

Actually I reckon Saddo is pretty quick. He only LOOKS slow because he's got that long-limbed, loping thing going. Also IMHO his skills are pretty good, but can look a bit lazy in execution, a la Dale Lewis. I don't mind him up forward as I think he's a decent shot at goal too. IMO his biggest problem is a tendency to simply go missing if he's out of form.
This year will be make or break for him in the halfback line - in the absence of dunkley, he'll definitely be needed to strengthen the defence.

Good to hear. I remember when he first came to the club he was used mainly as a winger, and then suddenly he was thrown into a key defensive role without a chance to really bulk up. Still, he's done well in the last few years despite this, and he should really step up again in 2003.Comment

I'd be happy if he became a Dustin Fletcher rather than a HULK sized Carey. Long, gangly and hard to get a kick against! However some bulk was definitely required.Staying ahead of the game...Comment

Was having a beer done at the Manhatten Hotel in Melbourne on Saturday in Saddo town and ran in to Jason who has built up like Wayne Carey. Told me he has done alot of work in the gym and boy he looks really good for it. Watch out for him this year.
