In his second season of senior footy, Goldsack notched up 16 games for the club. After playing in the first six games of the season, Goldsack was moved to the VFL to regain some form and conditioning. He returned to the senior side in round 13 and played the next 11 of 12 games. The 21-year-old defender is learning how to incorporate different facets in his game including tackling and kicking goals. He kicked four goals this season including one against St Kilda in the Semi-final after a great smother and gather of the ball.
