[mcgrath_truther]

i think the fact that he's been playing since 2006 should also provide a unique insight into how he's kept his body consistently healthy (at least from what i can tell, playing 315 games regardless is fairly impressive.)

hopefully he's able to provide draper/bryan with some good cooldown/warm down techniques to also

like 5? Or was it longer years ago.

 

[Cold Sober]

The bloke wants to play every game, that's good enough for me.

 

[windyhill]

T.G, I wish you were ten years younger, back when you ruled the rucking world. But, ruckmen take time I keep hearing.

If Goldstein was 10 years younger he'd still be 3 years older than Bryan is now...

If Goldstein was 10 years younger he'd still be 3 years older than Bryan is now...

And in his absolute prime.

 

[owen87]

And in his absolute prime.

2015 & 2016 were the years he got the most Brownlow votes in, 2015 was his AA season.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

2015 & 2016 were the years he got the most Brownlow votes in, 2015 was his AA season.

Which means on a similar trajectory Bryan is about 5-6 years from hitting his peak!

 

[windyhill]

2015 & 2016 were the years he got the most Brownlow votes in, 2015 was his AA season.

Yeah, I get that, the bloke was an absolute stand out, so what are we getting ?

AFL standard ruck depth to support two developing ruckmen onfield and on the training track?

I get that, he’ll be a better bet than draper.

 

[EnolaGay]

I'm very happy to have him at the Hangar



Welcome big fella!

I think you are referring to a 2015 match.

Yep i was there. Sheesh 2015

 

[bombreys]

Love Toddy. This is a great signing both on and off field.

The ideal third ruck for our list imo.

on SEN.
When asked about greatest influences on his career he said Brad Scott had a huge impact on his playing style. He said Brad always encouraged players to get the best out of themselves. Play to their strengths. Really enjoyed 9 years with Brad as coach.

: excellent training discipline. Only missed a small handful of games his whole career.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Yep i was there. Sheesh 2015

Remember that occasional amazing thing McKernan would do? And all the crazy crap? I loved that guy.

This is my boy. Big fan of this signing

Love the cheeky look on the old fella

Just wondering how Goldy is shaping up so far in the pre-season. Came across just to see if there was any news but nothing posted since last November.

In my opinion he still has a bit to offer, although I thought for the first time ever, towards the end of last season, he was starting to struggle just a little late in games. Obviously your mob will want to see the younger boys prosper ahead of Goldy, however, he could be good value if he is used in tandem with Draper or Bryan, if required.

i don't follow much of the off season/training stuff too closely but i'd bet he's just plodding along as he'd do at norf.

i'd agree though, he was still serviceable in 2023 and this season will be no different. i think he'll get game time so long as draper isn't a 100% certainty, but even just providing assistance to nick bryan, who's still developing, will be fantastic.

Looks pretty good so far . Fit and playing well in match sim .
