the "Ahmed Saad"

Post: # 1242186Post saintbrat »

how many styles of kick, goal marks, actions, or skills have been nicknamed after a player who did them often?

heard a Kick for goal being descrived as "not quite an Ahmed Saad"

in Cricket there's the Mankad.
but are there any in AFL?

Saw Adam Saad play and he did heaps of Ahmed saads today wouldn't mind a pair of Saads. Kicks a footy like a round ball although he didn't run up from somewhere near footscray before kicking a goal.

Back in my primary school days a big pack mark or "stepladder" job was known as a "Jezza".

Yes, White Winmar, when I was a kid any spectacular mark in the air was called a "Jezza". I hope in the future, a very difficult kick off the ground goal, becomes a "Saad".

Yep, same here but later in the 70's, in my hometown of Kyabram, Vic, I started calling them 'Barkers', and it caught on all over town, and through different aged teams.
