As keen as ever to see Goddard in action.
If we are injury free this will be the strongest line up we've had in at least 5 years.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I’ve been a bit surprised about the level of envy this has caused. I’m talking to opposition supporters over the last few days who are still “spewing you blokes got him... for nothing! Why didn’t we have a crack??”... along those lines. Feels good that it’s us for a change.

Eh?

I reckon on paper we probably haven't had a lineup this strong since at least 2004, and probably as far back as 2002.

Yeah, AT LEAST 5 years.. I agree there.

Just noticed on the main page bit where the twitter stuff is StKilda are running with the #loyaltyunites. Is this their official season slogan/membership campaign or are they just having a dig?

Fierce, dedicated, almost stalker-like loyalty to one another. That's what's in order here.

Surely we could of brought him over some Adidas gear so he didn't have to wear his old Nike gear.

Hahaha what a ******* basket case.

#loyaltyfromplayertoclubnotclubtoplayerunite

Insulting contract offers to your best player? #loyaltyunite

 

[Rack Watts]

I'd be inclined to say 10 years, 2003 was the last time I saw a particularly strong list.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

10 years of loyal service + 28yo + “I’ll stay at well less than market value if you give me an extra year on my contract” = seeya later BJ, don’t let the door hit your arse.

#loyaltyunites

It’s almost criminal what a ******* joke that “club” is.

And we're reaping all the benefits...

Bit hypercritical....

 

[The Speaker]

They want to be unrestrained.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

No big contracts, let's be like Geelong. Except you Nick, you can have $3.5m over 4 years so we have to squeeze people out of our cap.

D.O.B: 20-5-1985 (Age 27)
Height: 189cm
Weight: 93 kg
Position: Utility

Need to update the stats to his true height, 193 cm. I wonder if efc will list his correct height or the old listing from the saints.

It's great isn't it? Every time I've bumped into someone from the footy club in the last few weeks, the first thing they say is how ####ing lucky you bastards are getting him.....or "####ing Essendon, is there anything you ####s don't have?"...lol

Love it.

 

[zackah]

All of my friends have recently been saying how much of a hack he is and how much they hate Essendon and what a failure this will be. Which of course is stubbornness masking obvious envy.

Or they could just be getting pissed at me signing off every email - football related or otherwise - with "In Goddard We Trust"

 

[Jade]

Don't think it'll quite hit me until he runs on the ground in a red sash.

 

[Jade]

Actually scratch that.

I vote for a title change.

"Brendon Goddard: s**t just got real"

 

[Andronicus]

I still don't think it will happen.

We don't land the big fish.

Both I would say.

Loyalty unites is definitely their membership slogan.

I think Gram may have taken their slogan too far.
