Goddard?

[pazza]

A left field nomination, purely based on his personal form and leadership qualities just might be Mark Baguley.

Tough, hard as nails, honest.

Thank god he wasn't one the banned players the bloke is underrated.

 

[Elvis]

Meh, who gives a shit?

It won't be Zaka though surely, he has been demoted twice now. This might be like an opportunity to see how he responds this year, but to just assume a leadership position by circumstance does him no favours long term.

 

[loki04]

If Essendon are serious about rebuilding for their future, they will make Zaharakis captain and for good. He's about the only one from that period who has any integrity left. Plus, I like him.

The funny thing is, I agree with this.
He talks well, and he's a good bloke.
Believe it or not, I'd consider Zach Merrett too, speaks so well, is already a leader around the club.
Baguley is another.

Was Zahahaharakis one of the 2 who refused to do it? or just refused to sign the no fault clause?

 

[loki04]

Goddard just isn't a very good leader. He is an individual and a selfish footballer.

Hence why he ditched the Saints and picked a team who were miles off it for the most coin, rather then taking less and getting a flag.

As far as we know he refused the treatment, as he was allegedly afraid of them.
Unsure re: waiver.

Refused the program.

 

[HolyWars]

As far as we know, he wasn't involved.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Dempsey was another who refused I think.

 

[Jeremias]

May not be the ideal choice, but this is obviously not an ideal situation.

Probably the right call - not a whole lot else to choose from.

 

[cartel]

I don't think they have anybody but Goddard, unless they get in somebody experienced - eg Cross from the Dees - who may be interested in coming backas a top up player for a season.

Z Merrett looks like a quality player, Baguley is pretty good, but it's not fair on them to chuck them into such a scenario.

 

[Big Bryza]

Goddard will be captain. Pretty good chance for him to sway peoples opinions on his playing/leadership style. He's the obvious (and only) choice you'd imagine.

The bloke is a professional in driving high standards at training which Woosha has been preaching since he arrived.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Split the season in 4 and let Goddard, Baguley, Zaharakis and Daniher each have a go at it.

It's going to be a long year for Essendon and either Watson or Heppell will be captain next year so there's no point putting the weight of captaincy on one player.

Watson will retire. Heppell will request to leave.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Watson will retire. Heppell will request to leave.

Is players like Heppell,Hooker etc decide leave that will be end for me.

 

[Milanista28]

We want TIPPPPPPPPPPPAAAA

 

[pazza]

Watson will retire. Heppell will request to leave.

Heppell won't has club next captain in his contract.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Has to be Goddard. Should be Zaharakis to reward him for being the only player with integrity but the Bombers arent ready to cross that bridge. Nowhere near it.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Heppell won't has club next captain in his contract.

Can banned players be allowed to work in the media? could be a media commentator for 12 months.

 

[MotleyLemon]

Heppell won't has club next captain in his contract.

So what?

Did he have "Miss one year of football and forever tarnish legacy" in there as well?

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

I expect Heppell to return to the club and eventually restore his reputation. Not sure many others can, too late in their careers. Probable captain after Goddard in 2018 or so

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Zac Dawson should be captain

 

[kaiserchief13]

Heppell won't has club next captain in his contract.

Before or after being suspended for 2016?

 

[hench]

I bet Goddard would love to point to rookie listed player and top up players only there for a year.
