Whoops. Okay then.

Must really suck crying with your nostrils all mushed up like that.
Haha, indeed.
His 2009 is underrated by some (made the AA team and came equal-12th in the Brownlow- despite losing votes to all of Riewoldt, Hayes and Dal Santo, who all finished higher than him!) and he was just about our best in the 2009 GF as well, until he broke both his collarbone and nose in the 3rd quarter, which really took the wind out of his sails for the remainder of the game.

St Kilda and it's not especially close. His 2009 and 2010 is above anything he's produced at Essendon.
That said, he has been fantastic for us too.

Saints due to the 09/10 years. I'd say his years at Essendon have been comparable to the rest of his years at the Saints though. In fact his 2013 year was a very good one. Still comfortably somewhere between 30-50 in the comp.

He was better in 2013/14 than in 2011/12. He wasn't going to win a premiership at St Kilda - what exactly did he blow?
... and unlikely to win a premiership at Bombers so what is your point? I think it is sad he left Saints particularly under the circumstances he left.

I was asking what did he blow. It's not like remaining at St Kilda means he would have played better or won a premiership. His relationship with his St Kilda teammates hasn't been ruined by his move. He didn't blow anything.
He lost the chance at being a one club player and becoming a real legend at the Saints and what over? What you could only assume was a money or contract length issue and he is on record as saying he wanted to stay at the Saints. That kind of stuff will likely get more rare so I do think he blew that chance.

The Melbourne poster seemed to imply that he was in his prime and thriving at St Kilda and that since he moved to Essendon he's been declining. I don't think he was referring to his one club player status. I also don't think it's foolish to give that up in search of a premiership (even though it's unlikely Goddard will win one at Essendon).

You're joking right?
Consistent at Essendon but had some blinders for the Saints.
Were the 9 who have so far voted Essendon being serious?

Five of the nine who did don't go for Essendon. So...

He peaked in 2009 and 2010, has still been a great player before and after those seasons, but as for the question it's pretty clear cut.
