Adam Saad

Carlton's finals hopes are in tatters after suffering a 50-point thrashing to the Power at Adelaide Oval on Thursday night.

Carlton skipper Patrick Cripps says his side's shock loss to Adelaide will fueld them as they face a difficult month of football.

Adam Saad has spoken out as the AFL joined Adelaide in investigating reports of an alleged racially motivated comment.

Star recruit Adam Saad was seen shedding tears on the bench as a season from hell sunk to a new low for Carlton.

He has struggled since making a big-money move to Carlton, but Zac Williams finally showed all his class.

Carlton's two big off-season acquisitions, Zac Williams and Adam Saad, have come under the firing line.

Adam Saad is one of the quickest players in the AFL and gives Carlton a lethal weapon to exploit players on the mark.

Joe Daniher has showed just how lethal he could be in Brisbane, kicking four goals in his first match in Lions colours.

The departure of Adam Saad to bitter rivals Carlton is still having impacts around Essendon as the 2021 season nears.

Jeremy Cameron is no closer to joining Geelong before the trade deadline, and a rival club is poised to pounce with assets.
